The three lovingly restored historical houses in the middle of the charming old town are really something to behold. Here, the tasteful Hotel Sonne has various dining options, including this restaurant. The fine dining restaurant in the basement of the centuries-old Stadtweinhaus is chic, modern and pleasingly laid-back. (If you are not coming from the hotel, you get to the restaurant via Untermarkt.) In the open kitchen, Erik Arnecke oversees the preparation of a five-course set menu. Dishes such as Ederbergland venison saddle with butternut squash cannelloni, tamarind, pickled beech mushrooms, and a purple cinnamon leaf jus highlight his refined technique and well-judged flavour combinations. This is complemented by a superbly curated international wine list. Tip: Come on a Sunday for the three- or four-course lunch set menu. In case you were wondering, Philipp Soldan is the sculptor, whose carved wooden figures adorn the town hall.
