Shiraz

It would be easy to drive straight past this small, slate-clad inn, where Serkan Akgün has been going it alone since 2017. Your welcoming host has dedicated more than the last 30 years of his life to hospitality. The world of wines, too, brings him – and his guests – enjoyment. Since October 2020, chef Alexander Hoppe has been creating modern cuisine that is rooted in classical culinary tradition and brimming with finesse and contrasts. Changing with the seasons, the menu includes dishes such as pike-perch served with risotto, dashi beurre blanc and chive oil. Excellent ingredients are just as much the focus here as the craftsmanship, flavour and original ideas. You always have the option of adding to the set menu. This lovely restaurant also has a terrace overlooking the Wupper Valley.
