1 star in the Michelin Guide, 17 points in Gault&Millau

Michelin-starred restaurant - Maximilian Lorenz

In the gourmet restaurant, Maximilian Lorenz focuses entirely on local dishes – and develops them into culinary delights.

What's special about the restaurant: The team serves exclusively German wines to accompany the menus and individual courses. At "heinzhermann," guests can enjoy an international selection of more than 1,200 excellent wines alongside German wines. Maximilian Lorenz's credo: "Aromas that are meant to inspire! We take our guests on a culinary journey they will remember for a long time. We embody this philosophy in our New German Cuisine style. From the chef's specialties to the chocolates – everything is homemade."

Familiar tastes are broken down into individual parts and reassembled in a new form

The perfection of the new German flavor cuisine is a success story: Just eight months after opening, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star, which it still holds today. Shortly before, Gault&Millau had raised its rating to 17 points and named "Maximilian Lorenz" the Newcomer of the Year in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Familiar flavors are broken down into individual components and reassembled in a new form, creating extraordinary combinations and flavors.
The drinks paired with the dishes are as innovative and unusual as the cuisine itself. Let us take you on this culinary journey! The "maximilian lorenz" seats 30 people – plus up to 12 at the restaurant's chef's table.
