We have not had what you might all spectacular food on previous trips to Germany, but all of that changed with this trip. We ate at four one star Michelin restaurants, which is our sweet spot for meticulously prepared food, lots of bites of flavor that we would largely never recreate at home, and skipping alot of the foam and and the chemistry lab components of two and three Michelin star places. My only desire in this whole thing would be to know whether the restaurant is content to be a one star or are they gunning for two, and in this restaurant's case they are looking upwards.
The meal from start to finish was absolutely spectacular. It may be a function of our age, our jet lag or something deeper, but we have a strong new preference to eat such a meal at lunch time. That way it can serve as your only meal for the day, and you don't go to bed so full of wine and food that you can't sleep.
The meal was perfect. The sommelier was young but very knowledgeable, and the pairings were a bargain. The food was repleat with seafood, and each of the many courses was well prepared, had many component parts and a lot of attention to detail. We shared the restaurant with a Danish couple who were on a wine tasting and buying trip through the Rhine region, and it was an extremely pleasant atmosphere, not to mention a memorable dining experience.
Highly recommended. Koblenz if a UNESCO World Heritage site as well, so well worth seeing, and strolling along the Rhine either before or after the meal.
