Victor’s Fine Dining by Christian Bau in Perl

Culinary journey of the highest class. A must-go for every lover of Japanese cuisine.

Unique taste fireworks. All courses, ambience and wine recommendations are beyond any doubt - every little detail is just right. The Paris-Tokyo menu is definitely worth the 335 EUR. However, you should be aware that behind the perfect facade there are tough business people. My wife became acutely ill (gastrointestinal flu) an hour before the dinner we had booked and had to vomit all night long. A 250 euro no-show fine ended up on the bill without comment and the chamomile tea that I had sent to my room was also mercilessly charged at a whopping 21 euros (*** surcharge probably). This situation really has nothing to do with intentional absence. Why else would you travel 600km and stay overnight in the relatively unspectacular hotel? We had been looking forward to an exclusive evening with 2 friends (who have eaten here several times) for months and so there was literally a bitter aftertaste.

We are happy to have experienced this fireworks display of phenomenal culinary art – combined with warm hospitality.

We arrived in Nennig with very high expectations because Mr. Bau's kitchen had been on our list for a long time. To put it bluntly: our expectations were met and even exceeded. That evening, a young and professional service team found an ideal middle ground for us between being present with the guests and having enough space for our conversations. The fact that your every wish is met at this level should not always be taken for granted. It was like that here. Mr. Bau's kitchen doesn't need extensive words. She is perfect. Powerful and yet delicate. Harmoniously composed, yet with weighty accents. Rarely has the intention of a menu been so clear to us: Paris to Tokyo, please, first class without a stopover. Our personal highlight was the lobster with duck liver in a wonderfully complex vin jaune sauce. The atmosphere is cozy. Music is playing. You immediately feel comfortable. At the end, the maitre d personally says goodbye at the exit. Mr. Bau seems likeable and down-to-earth. You get a rough idea of ​​the humility with which he and his team process the best food in the world into the masterpieces you taste. Thanks to the entire team for a wonderful evening.

Thank you so much for the wonderful evening! An indescribable harmony between perfection, creativity and an incredible variety of flavors 😍 There is probably no better way to convey the appreciation of the products on your plate. The evening filled me with gratitude and humility and happiness ❤️

It was sensational. Every single course is at the highest level, the service is perfect. Thank you for this evening from another planet!

A special, unforgettable evening, it couldn’t be better.

There can only be the best rating for these works of art. You should see the whole thing, especially how much manual work and human effort goes into it. A really great experience!!

A top-notch meal! The dishes are as beautiful as they are good

Wonderful ! Works of art, we hesitate to taste them!! Everything is perfect, excellent! Congratulations!!🤩🤩

An exceptional moment, both visually and in taste!! I highly recommend

This is my second time at Victor’s, rarely happens that second time raises the bar. In case of Christian Bau this is the case, more you try his dishes and more you enjoy! Amazing Japanese fusion with great innovation and flavor experience, to enjoy with your eyes closed. I will try a third time! I would just renovate the style as it doesn’t match with the creativity

Christian Bau and his team create perfectly crafted, unique works of art using the best products. When it comes to service, Ester Eggert impresses with her detailed wine and product knowledge. You and your team take the guest on this culinary journey and manage to create an unforgettable evening. Thank you

Absolutely top class!!! Christian Bau cooks in a different league.

Finesse, elegance, lightness, precision, genius… absolute happiness for this dinner on May 19, 2024

We had a great evening and the menu as well as the service (unfortunately a bit too elitist for us) were excellent! In terms of cuisine, nothing is left to be desired and you also have the opportunity to order additional delicacies on top of the regular menu. So if you don't want to go without meat that evening, you'll also get your money's worth here! Only the wine accompaniment didn't completely convince us (personally) and that wasn't because it "only" included 6 items. We would have liked an even broader spectrum here so that this “Paris - Tokyo” trip would do full justice. In addition, our glasses were not refilled with each of these 6 (quite good) wines. Nevertheless, the evening was an experience and we enjoyed it very much!

The Paris-Tokyo menu is a culinary revelation. The staff is professional and friendly. An experience with a long aftertaste.

It was a fantastic evening. The ambience, the staff and of course the menu left us an unforgettable impression. Incredibly harmonious, world-class dishes. We felt very comfortable and will come back.

The food was perfect, with the best star cuisine I know. And there are quite a few. The service was very friendly and attentive, the atmosphere was cozy and stylish. Mr. Bau said goodbye to us and was really nice. The price is absolutely justified for what is offered. I'll be back.

It was just fantastic. The ambience, the staff and of course the menu made us enjoy an unforgettable lunch. For me it is one of the highlights in my life and something I will definitely treat myself to again

Every course here is poetry! Today we experienced a four-hour experience of absolute top class. Christian Bau showed his entire 3-star Michelin art with the 12-course menu “Paris-Tokyo”. Accompanied by a perfectly selected wine accompaniment. This is how star cuisine of the absolutely perfect kind works!

Christian Bau and his entire team have truly arrived at the Olympus of culinary art. After a warm welcome, the doors to the restaurant open and from the first second you immerse yourself in a world of sensual aromas that you don't leave for the next 4-5 hours - you don't want to miss a minute of it. The service takes care of the guest at a phenomenally high level and is extremely authentic and charmingly directed towards each individual. This is perfection at its best without seeming artificial or uncomfortably stiff. A performance that is second to none!! With every greeting from the kitchen and every course, all senses are awakened, you see optical works of art in masterful filigree, scents rise to your nose and aromas combine on the palate that leave you speechless with your eyes closed. Both the wine accompaniment and the non-alcoholic version, presented competently and with a lot of passion by the sommelier, underline and complement the character of the food in liquid form. We say THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for an unforgettable evening! The achievements of all those involved cannot actually be put into words! Christian Bau's credo is to make his guests happy...he made us very, very happy on an evening full of goosebumps! Gian-Luca Di Cunto and Anette Fangohr

I made a reservation by phone, but it wasn't passed on. We returned disappointed. It's a shame, we were looking forward to it.

We actually finished with the Michelin-starred kitchen many years ago, but... After the broadcast from Hanger 7, Salzburg, where Mr. Bau was a guest chef, we were so excited that we really wanted to go see him. Luckily we got a table for today. From the table reservation to the reception in the restaurant, everyone was super friendly, totally competent and very relaxed. We had the Paris-Tokyo menu with 14 (!) courses. After the first six courses we were very satisfied, but…from the seventh course onwards the menu was from another planet. Many thanks to Christian Bau and his team for presenting us with such a great day in such a beautiful and relaxed atmosphere. Not more, not less and really without words. We'll definitely be back as soon as the next menu is announced!

A disgrace for the catering industry

For 250 euros I would throw you out of the store. What a cheek to take such a price

One of the most dazzling evenings of 2023, the perfect end to a great year. The dishes were to the point and unpretentious, the entire service team and especially Thomas gave us an unforgettable evening. We will be back!

Magnificent, the cuisine is divine

Bei Victors Fine Dining passt einfach alles. Super Service, schönes Ambiente und ein sehr gutes Menü. Der Garpunkt passt genau. Die Saucen sind ein Traum und alle Komponenten harmonisieren wunderbar zusammen. Ein großes Lob an den Koch. Der Wein dazu ist gut gewählt. Auch die alkoholfreie Begleitung ist sehr empfehlenswert. Es gibt nicht wie in anderen Sternerestaurants manchmal üblich nur Van Namen Säfte direkt aus der Flasche, sondern selbstgemachte außergewöhnliche Saft- und Teemischungen. Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Abend. Wer von weiter weg kommt, kann auch sehr gut in dem Victors Hotel übernachten. So kann man sich ein schönes Wochende machen und natürlich als Highlight die Küche von Christian Bau genießen.

Eine kulinarische Reise von Paris bis Tokio und dies auf allerhöchstem Niveau! Alles Perfekt, die Zutaten vom Besten das Beste. Der Service professionell, freundlich, unaufgeregt, top! Danke für dieses tolle Erlebnis

Es sollte man sich mal gönnen. Speisen und geniessen auf hohem Niveau. Nicht umsonst mit 3 Michelin Sternen ausgezeichnet.

Parfait. A essayer au moins une fois. Une belle cohérence dans les différents plats proposés. Un beau voyage gustatif.

3 stars Michelin restaurant. Perfect cooking and service. Can’t be better

Perfektes Essen!!! Absolute Spitze! Service sehr gut! Für mich hat der Charme gefehlt. Ist nur meine persönliche Meinung. Unbedingt den Sake probieren!!

Ein fast unbeschreibliches Genusserlebnis. Schwer vorstellbar, dass es besser geht. Kulinarisch in einer eigenen Liga - Service absolut zuvorkommend und aufmerksam. Tolle Weinbegleitung. Rundum perfekt!

Das Paris - Tokio Menü mit Miyazaki und die exklusiven Weine mit Sake sind sehr zu empfehlen. Die Zusammenstellung des Menüs, die Qualität der Produkte, die Auswahl der Weine, der überaus zuvorkommende und höfliche Service machten den Abend für uns unvergesslich. Ein gustatorisches Feuerwerk! Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Mal ganz ehrlich: Es steht mir nicht zu über das Menü zu urteilen! Da fehlt es mir an Sternekompetenz 😀 Man erwartet Spitzenklasse und man bekommt Spitzenklasse. Service, Ambiente und Personal absolut spitze. Wer darüber urteilt muss auch eine Befähigung vorlegen.

Just unbelievable! 5 stars Michelin not 3...

Sehr edles, aber trotzdem modernes Restaurant. Der Service ist super vor allem dank dem Restaurant Leiter Felix. Ein toller Abend in einer ungezwungen Atmosphäre. Sterneküche muss nicht steif sein. Das Essen ist auf topniveau, egal ob Fisch, Fleisch oder Meeresfrüchte. Es zergeht auf der Zunge. Einfach testen ;)

3 Sterne die mir als verdient sind.Küche und Sercice top.Komme gerne immer zurück

This is really excellent cooking and if Japanese flavors are your thing, it will really hit the spot. Flavors are well thought out and presentations beautiful. I have a few quibbles - the meal is long (both visits I clocked in at over 4 hours and they are unable to improve pacing even when asked) and I find the atmosphere somewhat oppressive due to the setting and rigidity of some rules. That said, judged solely on the food this is a world class restaurant.

Si vous cherchez un restaurant offrant une expérience culinaire exceptionnelle, ne cherchez pas plus loin que celui-ci. Avec des influences asiatiques et françaises, chaque plat est une véritable explosion de saveurs. Les ingrédients sont de la plus haute qualité et chaque plat est magnifiquement présenté. Le service est impeccable et l'ambiance est élégante et raffinée. Je recommande vivement ce restaurant pour une occasion spéciale ou pour un dîner.

Ein Ort zum Entspannen und Wohlbefinden, waren angenehm überrascht👍😉

Immer wieder! Christian ist der Beste! Und vor allem: Die persönlichen Daten sind in sicheren Händen!

A Michelin-starred restaurant transforms the upcoming experience into a special one. Each dish is not just to satisfy your appetite, but a work of art for intellectual saturation. In order to describe this extraordinary experience, I, as an artist, will use the values and my understanding of the work of art. But in the end, I will tailor my impressions using restaurant criteria. 1. Idea and Personality of Cuisine. It was a 13-course Paris-Tokio menu. Restaurant Victor's Fine Dining is located in Germany on the border with France, not far from Luxembourg in the old castle Schloss Berg bei Perl-Nennig the first mention of which occurs in 1180. Getting into the pompous atmosphere of the past, you do not expect to see fresh tuna or kampachi fresh fish on the plate. Choosing such a menu brings freshness to this region of Germany since the traditional cuisine is rich in meat and is a bit heavy. At the same time, the very idea of combining the experience and techniques of French cuisine with the traditions of Japan makes it possible to learn something new, to combine the incompatible, to think about the general features of food culture, globalisation and inspiration. 2. Colour, contrasts, shape. The gastronomic journey began with the dish "Karotte. Joghurt. Curry". Two dishes are connected by a green colorful spot. One green is light and crispy, while the other is oily and bubbly. "Joghurt" is a multi-layered experience consisting of different consistencies and temperatures, while "Curry" is one texture where the taste complements the first course and sets the tone for all subsequent action. This is a colourful beginning, where contrasts are cold and warm, crispy and soft, and moderately sweet and sour. Each subsequent dish is a carefully thought-out composition of taste and products. Chef Christian Bau's working principle - is "Do things with passion or not at all." It seems to me that not only this passion but also exquisite taste, an exceptional understanding of colour and form, and enjoyment of nature and life are manifested in each of the dishes. 3. Rhythm, movement, time. Seasonality is brought to the dishes with autumn leaves, emphasized by the first frost in the form of ice balls with taste, and the catch of the hunting season in the form of a wild rabbit. The dishes are served according to the rhythm from light and cold to heavy and hot and back to light, cold and sweet. Sometimes the serving intervals between dishes are a little stretched, but perhaps this is the director's idea so that we stop to rush and run and our inner world comes into harmony. 4. Quality of Products. One of the features of Japanese cuisine is the use of fresh products and the desire to preserve the natural colour and taste. Knowing this, the role of simply serving pieces of fresh fish with a delicate sauce becomes clear. The quality of the products leaves no doubt about their perfection. This is how fresh fish or black caviar should sound. 5. Mastery of Flavour and Cooking Techniques. My absolute favourite is Rouget Barbet. The scales of this fish become the main feature of this dish. Here it seems to me that the mastery of the cooking technique is especially obvious. As a viewer, I don’t have the slightest idea what needs to be done so that each of the scales is wrapped in a tube, remains crispy and does not come off the peel. And in the flavour, you can recognize all the shades that are in balance from sour to sweet. 6. Value for Money. This is a sensitive and very personal question, I think. On the one hand, I won’t be able to come here for lunch once a week, but visit a restaurant whose menu was created by a person who contributed to the development of culinary business in Germany (Federal Cross of Merit 2018) since 2005 has consistently had three Michelin stars and in 2022 it is in the top 10 of the international restaurant ranking La Liste, is worth it. Since the age of fourteen, Christian Bau has been a passionate cook, so I believe that this person "can think taste"!

Ein sehr schönes Hotel! Sehr aufmerksames Personal, egal ob im Spa-Bereich, im Restaurant, oder an der Rezeption. Sie sind sehr bemüht, es dem Gast so angenehm wie möglich zu machen 👍🏻 Das Zimmer und der Spa-Bereich waren sauber und das Essen war super! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder! Top-Hotel 👍🏼👏

Amazing experience. The Tokyo-Paris menu was close to perfection, as you could imagine when you think of the fusion of best cuisines that exists in this world. In addition, the restaurant has a very friendly atmosphere, which is not a given in Michelin starred restaurants. I highly recommend for a special eveing out!

Unfassbar gut! Wir hatten das Glück, in vielen hervorragenden Restaurants zu essen, aber das hier Gebotene toppt alles! Vom ersten kleinen Happen über komplexe Vorspeisen, den Hauptgang zum Schwärmen bis zu kleinen Pralinés zum Café ist jeder Bissen exemplarisch und man weiß, besser wird es im Leben nicht mehr! Was Herr Bau mit seinem Team auf die Beine stellt, sucht seinesgleichen. Alles geht Hand in Hand und man kann als Gast nicht anders, als sich wohl zu fühlen. Mir fällt gerade auf, dass ich hier noch nie eine Weinkarte in der Hand gehalten habe. Das wäre auch nur hinderlich. Man bespricht mit Frau Mann, was man sich vorstellt und lässt sie einfach machen. Jeder Schluck Wein, den sie einschenkt, ist perfekt und ein Hochgenuss. Und der neue Restaurantleiter Felix Kress bringt eine Leichtigkeit und Lockerheit bei höchster Professionalität mit, die dem Team und auch den Gästen gut tut und die gesamte Atmosphäre nochmal verbessert. Wer wirklich einmal im Leben ein kulinarisches Erlebnis sucht, das er nie wieder vergisst, sollte hierher kommen!

My honest rating is 4.5 stars, but since there are no half stars, I went with four. To get the negative portion of our evening out of the way before going into the positives (there are a few), two of the dishes were rather on the salty side. One of the dishes involving the white fish and white asparagus was salted a bit too much on my wife's plate when compared to mine. My plate was great, but after I tried hers, it seems like the salt factor was kicked up to 11. The dish after that with the cabbage roll was also overly salted to the point neither of us could finish it. With that out of the way, here are the positives. The staff were completely amazing, very friendly and tentative to what we needed. The appetizers were so good, we could've eaten them three times over and be completely satisfied. The deserts were also all good (minus the fresh fruit) and the atmosphere was spot on. Each dish brought a unique taste and not withstanding the two dishes mentioned above, the food always gave us a pleasant surprise of new flavors. Would we recommend it...yes. If you love seafood and want to experience a fusion of French and Japanese flavors, then I recommend dining here.

Ein großartiges Meisterwerk, das jedem empfohlen wird, es zu besuchen

That Mr Bau is the GOAT among Chefs is beyond question. What stands out is his humility and kindness and down to earth nature. Service was equally great and becoming of 3 Michelin stars. The best part is how they make you feel at home. The food is of course the highlight. I wouldn’t know that simple things can be elevated to such levels if I hadn’t been here. We are privileged to have such a restaurant in the neighborhood. Can’t wait to go back again.

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre und sehr schöne Auswahl des Menu

Frühstücks Buffet vom feinsten .Sehr Empfehlenswert

Ein Abend und ein kulinarisches Erlebnis wie in einem wunderschönen Traum. Hier stimmte alles, von der Atmosphäre, dem Ambiente über unfassbar toll gestaltete Speisen, die uns geschmacklich in neue Welten mitnahmen, dazu eine großartige Weinbegleitung und das alles abgerundet von einem hochprofessionell arbeitendem und gleichzeitig tiefenentspanntem und herzlichem Team. Absolut empfehlenswert

3-Sterne = eine Reise wert. Gesagt, getan und ja, ist es :-) Herausragender Genuss mit tollem und angenehm legerem Service. Dazu wunderbare Weine und weitere Leckereien. Perfekt!

Eine kulinarische Traumerfüllung

Das beste, was ich je gegessen habe. Rund, abgestimmt, überraschend, neu, vielfältig, ruhig, strukturiert, klar, ehrlich und professionell. Am Ende hat sich Herr Bau noch per Handschlag verabschiedet. Danke!

Sensationelles Essen, toller Service, schönes Ambiente, aber es ist sehr schade das der Herr Christian Bau nicht raus zu den Gästen kommt

Wir durften einen runden Geburtstag im Victors Fine Dining feiern. Unsere hohen Erwartungen wurden in allen Belangen mehr als erfüllt. Top Service, immer präsent und dennoch unaufdringlich. Die Speisen bestechen durch ihre Weltklasse Qualität. Alle Gänge wurden geschmacklich, aber auch optisch auf höchstem Niveau präsentiert. Besonders von den Saucen waren wir begeistert. Die Weinbegleitung war optimal abgestimmt. Rundum 5 Stunden Genuss pur.
