Restaurant Roter Hahn by Maxmilian Schmidt
The city's finest fine-dining option sees Michelin-starred chef Maximilian Schmidt focus on a fusion of European (especially French, German, and Scandinavian) and Asian cuisines. Choose between a three-, five- and eight-course evening tasting menu featuring inventive, seasonal creations like pike perch with fermented paprika and chawanmushi (egg custard) with bacon, or come for a good-value (and considerably cheaper) three- or four-course lunch. Although set in an 800-year-old Altstadt building, the decor is chic modern minimalism; all hardwood floors, featureless walls, and dim lighting. There's a lovely boutique hotel here, just in case you don't want to move after dinner.
