Esplanade

This former schoolhouse in the centre of Saarbrücken is an exceptionally refined building that also houses a little boutique hotel with 16 spruce and beautifully decorated guestrooms. But it is the restaurant that garners the most attention: an elegant and modern, beautifully coordinated interior and an excellent front-of-house team headed up by Jérôme Pourchère, who is passionate about being a maître d' and sommelier. Then comes the cuisine, crafted by Silio Del Fabro, who can safely be described as a culinary talent. He combines classical fare with modern and Mediterranean influences. His dishes are clearly structured, rich in finesse and wonderfully balanced. Choose the "Signature" set menu or the à la carte dishes. At lunchtime you can opt for an interesting "plat du jour".
