HILMAR

Dine like royalty in a castle setting! Could you ask for more splendid surroundings than those of the historical Schlosshotel Münchhausen, a stately home dating from 1570? With a new name and under new kitchen management, this restaurant serves modern dishes inspired by classic French cuisine. Stephan Krogmann, previously head chef at Gutshaus Stolpe, showcases excellent ingredients in his set menu, which comprises five pleasingly pared-down yet precisely crafted courses. Take, for example, the Breton-coast monkfish roasted on the bone, with anise flavours, pine nuts and mussel ragout with sea herbs. The various amuse-bouches served beforehand are also exquisite. A cheese trolley is available. You can also look forward to friendly and adept service in an elegant setting that combines historical charm (stuccoed ceilings, parquet flooring, paintings) with a light, contemporary feel.
