Aachen's Sankt Benedikt has been an established part of North Rhine-Westphalia's Michelin-starred fine dining scene since 1982. In the wake of the recent disastrous floods, the Kreus family was only able to reopen its restaurant at the beginning of December 2021 after a tremendous effort. This was much to the delight of diners, who can once again enjoy Maximilian Kreus's classic cuisine in this listed building in the historical centre of Kornelimünster. His dishes always centre on the finest produce, which he sets about with plenty of feeling and a dash of originality. The service is extremely friendly, and expert advice regarding the wines is readily available – only wines from German wine producers are recommended. In the evening, the gourmet set menu (also available as a vegetarian option) is served, while at midday there is the bistro lunch in the form of a 3-course menu.
