By the time we got into our room, we thought all we could manage was to eat in the hotel restaurant. I called and got a reservation and when we arrived downstairs, they had a table next to a huge window looking over the street with candles lit and all ready for us. Very romantic setting. We were one of the first people there but as the evening went on. they filled up. Our server brought us first a plate with 3 different things to put on about 5 different breads, all arranged artfully on a small plate. He carefully explained in English what each bread was and each topping. We devoured that and ordered our food. Then we got another tiny treat from the kitchen that I can't describe but was scrumptious. My husband had bratwurst that was served with sweet potato fries and a green salad. He loved it. I ordered sea bass and it was served on a bed of greens, then a bed of risotto and a few other things in between that I can't remember but believe me, it was really good. We had wine and beer and the final bill was very reasonable compared to a similar quality mean with similar quality served it he US. When we got our check, it was accompanied by two chocolate truffles. We felt very lucky indeed to have happened on this spot and would go back again anytime we're in the neighborhood.

The food is fantastic, full of flavour, the staff are very efficient but do not being an annoyance, wine is great and service was quick aswell, I was not waiting long between courses. This is what I would call a 'posh' establishment, if You are after large portions or simple meals this is not the place for you. The meals are well thought out and presented. I would recommend the set menus as it gives you the best deal for the food. Expect to pay around (or above) €60 PP for food and drink. But it's worth every penny. I would definitely come again.

I was able to test the restaurant on the so-called Beefabend and was positively impressed. Very good quality, good service and very good drinks. Come back here. But see yourself;

In the meantime, I plan a trip to Bielefeld to the GeistReich and have never regretted it! But be careful! On Sunday there is no mindfulness for creative break; it also eats in the bar at a high level. And Sunday events once a month rush from the peak to the peak. Next
