Vendôme

"Joachim Wissler has been running the kitchen at the elegant fine dining restaurant of the luxurious Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg since 2000. The classical French-based cuisine of this Swabian-born chef focuses on creative flavour combinations, which he serves up in the form of intricate and technically sophisticated dishes using ingredients that are consistently of the highest quality. There is a choice of two set menus (one vegetarian) composed of six or eight courses – you are also welcome to mix and match. First rate service comes courtesy of a competent front-of-house team that is always on hand and yet pleasantly unobtrusive. More delights are to be found on the wine list, with lovers of German Riesling particularly well catered for." - Michelin Inspector
