» My last visit: Aug 2025
» Number of visits: 5
» Total score: 4.8/5 – very good
» Comment: I've known the Setzkasten since Dec 2021.
In my opinion, the gourmet restaurant exceeds expectations in key respects: the taste and level of the food were outstanding, the same applies to the wine and I also thought the price was outstanding.
As for the food, I would like to highlight the amuses, which I thought were outstanding, the outstanding main course of suckling pig and the equally outstanding confiserie.
As for the wines, I particularly enjoyed an outstanding (white) Châteauneuf-du-Pape and an outstanding champagne (with dessert).
All in all, once again a very convincing performance. I will definitely visit the Setzkasten again.
