Handwerk

An upscale, trendy and minimalist design, outstanding creative modern dishes, and informal yet competent service – this restaurant meets the brief of "Casual.Fine.Dining". This place is aptly named, in that craftsmanship (Handwerk) plays a major role in the open kitchen, the domain of head chef Thomas Wohlfeld. He brings a winning combination of original ideas, Nordic elements and the odd subtle Far Eastern flair to the table. Dishes such as halibut with asparagus and leek, or duck (sourced from Odefey & Töchter poultry farm) with red cabbage and orange are pleasingly clear-cut and ingredient-led; they come as a set menu comprising five or six courses, with an optional extra course, representing fantastic value for money. The wine pairings are spot on, and the house-made non-alcoholic alternatives are well worth exploring. Lovely terrace in the front garden.
