Vendôme in Bergisch Gladbach

If you're still looking for a review here, you'd better go somewhere else. You may or may not know this cuisine.

We had a fantastic evening. The culinary journey was breathtaking. A big compliment to the entire team

Our new favourite restaurant in Germany.

An evening at Vendôme is a real experience! From the first moment you feel completely pampered - the service is attentive, warm and always there without being intrusive. The menu was of the highest standard: every dish was a little work of art, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. The flavors were finely tuned and we were impressed by the creativity in each course. Everything is just right here – an absolute highlight for connoisseurs who value first-class cuisine and service. Many thanks to the whole team for this unforgettable evening!

We had an incomparably beautiful evening yesterday. The food was phenomenal! The service too. We would love to come back!

What you are offered here is edible art! Still unique, even if the Michelin Guide only gave Mr. Wissler 2 stars instead of 3. I have been eating regularly in star restaurants since I was 8 years old and have worked in a 3-star restaurant myself. Nothing compares to the Vendome. Even the now more casual service. The gray sweatpants are worn with the matching Jankerl, but above all there is a lot of talk about the wine and why it goes so well with this dish. An entertaining evening. 4 hours fly by.

I've been to many starred restaurants, but Vendôme managed to make me feel astonished several times that I was eating the best dish of my life. Fantastic vegetarian menu!

My visit to Vendome felt very much like a cozy evening at a good friend’s house combined with fairly conservative but exceptionally tasteful food and incredible quality of ingredients. I especially enjoyed the home-made vermouth and other drink components.

Nice restaurant. Calm and peaceful atmosphere. Outside and inside tables. A wonderful place to have a meal with family or friends.

Super cool place and very good food, dining and sleeping in a castle, you almost feel like royalty yourself.

We had a wonderful time at restaurant vendome. The food was tasty, the wine was excellent, and the atmosphere enjoyable. Unfortunately, I awoke with food poisoning several hours after the dinner which persisted for several days. Due to this I cannot give more than 2 stars.

We have dined at the Vendome recently. It was a venue we were very curious to visit. We have visited quite a few michelin restaurants. The surroundings are truly beautiful and the seating was comfortable. We were a bit surprised because after the first amuses it took a stunning 45 minutes before the first course was served. For a restaurant of this caliber quite strange and simply way too long. The pace was picked up, but it seemed the kitchen was struggling to get the plates out in the beginning. The food was truly spectacular and among the most refined we have tasted before. Plate presentation was excuisite, and some dishes were truly memorable. We also had a non alcoholic pairing which was very interesting and well done. We arrived at 19.00 and left at around 23.30 . The bill was quite hefty, around 1000 euros for 2 persons which is more en par with a 3 star restaurant, but the culinary experience was memorable.

You have Never a Second Chance for a First Impression. Best Food high Quality can compare with Trois Roi / Chaval B. Service very Bad for this Level and Price - First contact with the Service unacceptable . - for the Food i would come back but Not for the Service

Food was great! Great quality, beautifully prepared and a taste experience! Very good selection of non-alcoholic drinks to match the dishes! I would come back for the food at any time! However, I was very disappointed with the first impression. We were treated like second class guests! Other guests were brought to the table first, even though we got to the receptionist first and already had our jackets in our hands. Unfortunately an absolute no-go for a 2 star restaurant!!!

There's no need to say much...it was just great last night!!! Such flavors! Great service! Very nice environment! We simply enjoyed the large menu with a small wine accompaniment 😀. Many thanks to the entire team for this wonderful evening!

This is a place like from another cosmos. Kitchen and restaurant art of the highest level that can overwhelm you if you are receptive to extraordinary taste experiences.

Außergewöhnlich und sensationell.

Truly a very good restaurant, worth its current three Michelin stars for sure and therefor also the trip, especially for those who enjoy an experimental cuisine. Only the dessert was less satisfying: the coconut sorbet, in disguise of a baby banana (visually stunning as most of the platters here!) , lacked smoothness and the side dish was rather bland and contained no sugar at all. Same small issue with the ice-cream lollypops: too many ice-crystals instead of silkiness. Star of the menu: grilled Farör Island langoustine and the veal brain piccata with utterly fragrant white strawberry's (how original to integrate such an unusual dish as offal into a set menu, I was pleasantly surprised!) Wine arrangement top notch. Service very good but lacks elegance. Nice experience overall nevertheless, although the style of the top chef is a bit too inventive for my personal taste. My personal ratings of this specific menu: escargots on cracker 20/20, Spanish Tuna sashimi 16/20, Tofi-Vees 20/20; langoustine and Tom Yam soup (19.5/20), Sole Colbert with pigs snout (genius!) (dish served too cold, 18.5/20) Red Mullet (18.5/20), Veal brain, black truffle and strawberries 19/20, Guinea Fowl breaded dim sum 15/20, the bird's breast with Madras curry, 17/20, coconut sorbet 16/20, mignardises 17/20, wine assortment: 19.5/20. Overall experience: 18.5/20.

Essen,auf höchstem Niveau, Es war himmlisch

Küche auf einem Niveau das atemberaubend ist mit einer Weinauswahl die hervorragend stimmig zu den Gerichten ist und einem Serviceteam das nichts vermissen lässt. Alles in allem ein wunderschönes Erlebnis der unvergesslichen Art.

Really great food and presentation paired with great wines and nice atmosphere. However the dinner was way too long with long wait times of 30-50 minutes between courses. Over 4 hours for a meal and even after we asked them to speed things up it still took almost a hour to get the some of the courses. Other tables that arrived hour or more after us finished before us which is not how a highly rated restaurant should be run.

Wir hatten einen wundervollen Abend und kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank.

Das Essen war wunderbar, wir hatten einmal das Fleisch- und einmal das vegetarische Menü. Als ich peinlicherweise ein Glas Wein umgestossen habe war die Reaktion des Service absolut professionell und gut - sie haben es geschafft, dass es kaum unangenehm war. Das einzige, was zu wünschen übrig liess: Der Sommelier. Als wir ihm mitteilten, dass wir keine Weinbegleitung wünschen, liess der Service danach zu wünschen übrig. Er kam kaum mehr zu uns an den Tisch, obwohl wir gerne einzelne Gläser gewählt hätten - wirklich schade. Ansonsten: Top!

Es gibt nur eine Aussage, Grandios

Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis Unglaublich lecker, was dort von jedem einzelnen Mitarbeiter geleistet wird ist der totale Wahnsinn!

Ein unvergessliches Erlebnis hier zu essen

Außergewöhnliches Essen mit hervorragendem Service.

Außergewöhnliches, kulinarisches Highlight, welches durch überragenden Service komplettiert wird. Die Erwartungen an die Küche von JW wurden mehr als erfüllt und wir freuen uns jetzt schon auf einen weiteren Besuch. Vielen Dank an dieser Stelle an die gesamte Crew, welche Hand in Hand einen unvergesslichen Abend gezaubert haben.

This place blew my mind from start to finish. I was a little intimidated as this was my first two star Michelin restaurant. It was worth it and the staff made us feel warm and welcomed. The menu was nothing short of an interpersonal journey. Each dish held its own distinct and unique texture and flavor, making it a true culinary adventure. The pairing options were also outstanding, complementing the food perfectly. The setting of the restaurant is also stunning and I can't wait to return and explore more of their culinary creations in the German countryside.

Meines Erachtens wird hier nach wie vor auf 3⭐️ Niveau gekocht. Absolut sensationell. Das mit Abstand hochwertigste Sterne Restaurant in NRW.

Excellente comida al nivel esperado de estrellas. Dispuesto a experimentar. Servicio de primera y selección de vinos a nuestro gusto...Maravilloso

Anlässlich unseres Hochzeitstages haben wir das Restaurant Vendôme besucht und wurde im Schloss Bensberg beherbergt. Es war ein besonderes Erlebnis. Man wird hier kulinarisch auf Weltklasse Niveau verwöhnt. Das Sommermenü von Herrn Wissler sucht seines gleichen und wird perfekt von der ausgesuchten Weinbegleitung umschmeichelt. Zielsicher nach wenigen Fragen, hat der Restaurantleiter und spitzen Sommelier, Herr Strahl, den Weingeschmack meiner Gattin getroffen. Der perfekte Service ist, steht´s aufmerksam und trifft sicher die Balance, um nicht aufdringlich zu wirken. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Außerordentlich gutes Essen, entspanntes Ambiente und aufmerksamer Service. Buildingconceptsolution

Ein Fine Dining Restaurant, was den dritten Michelin Stern wieder bekommen sollte. Vom Empfang, über das außerordentlich gute Essen bis zum Sommelier und dem zurückhaltend edelen Interieur stimmte alles bei unserem letzten Besuch im Vendome. Der Kaisergranat war ein Traum, mutig mit etwas Schärfe kombiniert. Produkte, Geschmack, Handwerk und Service laufen perfekt zusammen.

Mooie omgeving, perfecte bediening, eten was van hoge kwaliteit ,8 gangen menu in goede Harmonie. Geweldig avond uit eten

top kaviargericht . langustine Pervekter service insbesondere im sommelierbereich durch den restaurantleiter 3 sterne wieder in sicht

Eine einmaliges Gourmet Erlebnis mit außergewöhnlich Sevice. Wir haben in vielen Sterne Restaurants gegessen, Das Vendme ist die absolute Spitze. Das Personal besticht durch großes Fachwissen.

Nach wie vor eines der besten Restaurants in Deutschland!!

Traumhafte Küche und wunderschönes Ambiente

To me, this was a 3* experience, i don't know why they got only 2*

Schöner Abend in angenehmen Ambiente. Menü, Weine, Service - alles sehr gut.

2 Sterne Restaurant. 5 Sterne bei Google. Toller Service, tolle Weinbegleitung. Aussergewöhnliches Erlebnis.

Gutes Essen auf dem erwarteten Sterneniveau. Experimentierfreudig. Top Service und Weinauswahl nach unserem Geschmack.

Ein sehr gutes Essen in stilvoller Atmosphäre. Ein wunderschönes Erlebnis.

Super freundliches Personal, die auch Sonderwünsche wahr werden lassen. Eine besondere Erfahrung und natürlich exzellentes Essen

Leider hat der Koch sich von seinem vorherigen Konzept verabschiedet, nämlich lokale Küche auf 3 Sterne Niveau zuzubereiten. Jetzt ist es international aber dadurch auch Mainstream. Der Service war überfordert, wir baten darum, keine Rieslingweine in der Weinbegleitung zu erhalten, das wurde zweimal ignoriert. Die Weine der Weinbegleitung waren grenzwertig, 15 Jahre alte deutsche Weiss- und Rotweine sind wirklich nicht Jedermanns Sache. Benutze Weingläser bleiben halbleer auf dem Tisch stehen usw. Also Höhen und Tiefen, aber wird dem eigenen ambitionierten Anspruch nicht gerecht.

Viele kleine leckere Grüße aus der Küche, die einzelnen Gänge des Menüs wurden mit Wein- oder Saftbegleitung angeboten. Jeder Gang ein optischer sowie Gaumengenuss. Der Service ließ keinen Wunsch offen. In diesem Ambiente zu Speisen rundete den schönen Abend hervorragend ab. Wir übernachteten vor Ort im Schlosshotel.

We had a great time at Vendôme the food was delicious. The first highlight was the toffivee, like a toffifee but made with liver. It could be my new favourite thing. Later on a venison dish was exceptional and included venison liver which was far superior to any non duck or goose liver I've ever had. They know what they're doing with liver obviously! If that puts you off then my reviews probably aren't for you. My wife's highlight, a pike perch dish used turmeric with real mastery. Virtually every course was spot on and I was blown away, my wife was a little more critical but that was probably down to some courses featuring her less favoured ingredients. The only criticism would be for the langostine carpaccio, although I thought it was a really tasty dish, with well balanced flavours, my wife wasn't a fan and we both thought the langostine was lost a bit. The dessert and petit fours were great especially the magnum and snickers. The wine / beer matching was great with some standouts including the beer. I was a bit wary of sherry matched with chocolate because I've had too much PX paired in the past but this time it was moscatel and thus less cloying. All in all outstanding.
