Die besten Restaurants in Deutschland mit Gourmetrestaurant Essen

It is always an absolute highlight...culinary, human and in a very relaxed and pleasant atmosphere...absolutely top class!

Thank you for a lovely evening in this great location. The menu was unique and perfectly coordinated. In addition, the appropriate wine recommendation and also the drink recommendation without alcohol. Very imaginative and exceptionally good. Simply an experience. Thank you

Excellent food in a great atmosphere. We will come again.

For over 39 years, I have been passionate about eating out in particularly good restaurants almost all over the world, and enjoy star cuisine. Since I was a child, I have preferred being in the kitchen to cook rather than playing or pursuing other hobbies. I have never been as surprised and thrilled with culinary delights as I was in the ES:SENZ restaurant! There is more creativity, love and taste in Edip Sigl's menu and dishes than any other chef in my world! Anyone who hasn't even eaten here and been enchanted by the wonderful team, the ambience and the "three star cuisine" has missed something in their life. Chapeau for this culinary art and the symbiosis of exclusive foods. Every bite and every drop of wine is worth savoring in this great restaurant.

Breathtaking! This word sums up the evening in the Troyka restaurant very well. From the interior to the menu to the drink accompaniment, everything was truly breathtaking. But let me start from the beginning. The Troyka restaurant is considered the only Russian star restaurant in the world and that alone is reason enough to try a menu here. At 6 p.m. sharp, the doors open and the first guests are seated. I was allowed to choose whether I would like to sit in the hall or at the chef's table. With an offer like that, I'd happily take the Chef's Table! Sitting directly at the post, I was quickly greeted with a non-alcoholic aperitif and water. Both really refreshing and a nice start to the evening. In addition to the menu, I chose three signature dishes: goose liver cake, caviar fire potato and Guillardeau oyster. But I started with the classic amuse, the Troyka (=three-horse team) from Daikon. Fresh, crunchy, slightly spicy; That's how I want Daikon. Then a second greeting came from the kitchen: the Bardinova waffle, a malt waffle filled with cream. Really tasty and crunchy. After two greetings we move on to the first real course: Pot Schuba. Here we decided on a layered salad made from beetroot, dill and hamachi. A classic of Russian cuisine reinterpreted, giving the dish a modern touch. And the hamachi gives the dish a very unique taste. Before the second course continues, the signature dishes are served. Starting with the goose liver cake, followed by the fire potato and ending with the Gillardeau oyster, I am transported into a world that I don't want to leave. The goose liver cake was my personal highlight of the evening, the creaminess of the liver gave it a wonderful mouthfeel. After the signature dishes, we continue with the second course: the mushroom gateau. This gateau has a really woody, savory flavor, with the waffle exterior and pistachio coating also covering multiple textures and rounding out the dish. This proves once again that vegetarian dishes can easily compete with meat and fish. Now let’s move on to 3rd gear: Carabinero. As an exception, a slightly spicy dish is served, but not too spicy. So really very tolerable for non-spicy eaters. Aisle 4 represents another highlight: Piripjolka. A quail with duck liver and a variation of the well-known borscht is exactly the dish I was waiting for. The dish has depth, creaminess, tenderness, complexity and I never want to stop adding my spoon to the sauce. My favorite from the normal menu. In fact, after the excellent course, another meat course comes in course 5: rack of lamb. The back was cooked to perfection and the sauce took care of the rest. But actually the piroshki in that course got me even more. A dumpling filled with lamb and Roscoff onions brings fattiness and umami, but at the same time also a subtle sweetness. To round off the evening, dessert comes to the table in course 6: Tschak Tschak. Sorbet meets chocolate meets Smetana. Anyone who loves desserts will have a blast here. The acidity of the berries gives the dessert a freshness and lightness. Yes, the menu was truly a feast for the eyes and every dish brought me nothing but pure joy and happiness and showed me how versatile Russian/Eastern European cuisine can be. The wine pairing was great with the courses; the ice wine with the goose liver cake is highly recommended. I can only find nice words about the service. The service staff accompanied me warmly and advised me through this unique experience, generously poured wine and had conversations with me. All in all a successful evening. Thank you for this first class meal and see you soon

Well intended is not always well done Unfortunately, our visit to Kevin Gideon's restaurant this weekend was quite ambivalent: very good service, but in the context of a 5-course menu, the main course was unfortunately a complete failure; What was announced was lamb, an “update” was announced on Shortcut on site, which unfortunately turned out to be a maximum 3 × 4 cm piece of more or less just fat for all 4 of us guests, and unfortunately not only at our table, but also at the neighboring table and behind us... Unfortunately, the service's offer to compensate for this with an additional dessert did not work for us, our plates were returned. To save our honour, it must be said that a well-prepared meat dish alternative came (albeit at our explicit request). But…. As a chef, do you really believe (probably with ambitions of a star restaurant) that you can “make fun” of all the guests one evening, along the lines of “maybe the guest won’t notice” or the guest will just accept it? The repeated assurances from the service staff (who were visibly uncomfortable with the whole thing) that Kevin Gideon would like to discuss this again at our table; came to nothing; When we left the restaurant after more than 90 minutes, the chef was still joking with the guests at the table next to us who were probably less critical. Well….with the artfully prepared, but of course very small portions, I think you can expect consistent quality for the menu prices quoted…. We would have liked to have discussed all of this on site, but if the chef doesn't have the stature to accept well-meaning criticism in person, but then two days later you receive an email asking you to comment on the quality of the evening... then you read this publicly here 🤷🏼‍♀️ Conclusion: you can do it that way, but you don't have to...

Ein unvergesslicher Abend - tolle Gerichte, tolle Weinbegleitung, tolles Team. Sterneküche!!! super abgestimmte Gerichte und die passende Weinbegleitung. Man hat die Möglichkeit sich mit den Köchen und dem Personal zu unterhalten und auch jederzeit fragen zu stellen. Wir fanden es einfach nur toll. Danke nochmals an das gesamte Team macht weiter so 👍🏻

A fantastic restaurant! We had a great meal, received excellent service, and felt very comfortable. The price/performance ratio is very good. A clear recommendation; we'll be back.

I had dinner with my friend at Mika's. The ambience is really very tasteful and we were greeted with incredible warmth and invited to the table. We ordered the menu as well as a bottle of Chablis. Every course was a taste explosion. I've never eaten anything like that before. The wine is also really very tasty. There were always nice conversations with the service and you felt completely valued as a guest. Totally deserves the Michelin star.

Great food. Service very friendly and uncomplicated. Wine accompaniment is ok - but doesn't quite match the high standard of the food. Nice room - but acoustically suboptimal.

Super nice reception and service. The food was excellent and beautifully presented. We were here for the third time and were once again impressed by the excellent cuisine.

Una experiencia gastronómica experimental e inmersiva de primer orden. Me gustó mucho mi cena en solitario aquí y volveré para probar las diferentes estaciones.

I went there with my daughter for the New Year's Eve 8-course menu. It was our third time at this restaurant, and we were delighted every time. The best sushi I've ever eaten, with so much attention to detail. I can hardly wait for the next time. Thanks for these culinary journeys 😊
