Head to Nuremberg's trendy Gostenhof neighbourhood for a fine dining experience in a rather alternative setting. Chef-patron Vadim Karasev places the emphasis on regionality and seasonality in his restaurant. Many of the ingredients come from small-scale producers in Knoblauchsland ("garlic country"), which is just down the road. The kitchen is actually in the dining room and, in full view of the diners, the chefs prepare a well-thought-out, creative set menu comprising five to seven courses – a vegetarian version can be pre-ordered. Choose from their selection of biodynamic wines or opt for a house-made non-alcoholic alternative. Hip decor, a relaxed, down-to-earth atmosphere and culinary surprises served by a friendly and enthusiastic front-of-house team.
