Reuter

Founded in 1894, this is a family business with a long tradition – and genuine dedication to match. In the beautifully refined and elegant restaurant of the hotel of the same name, Iris Bettinger has made a name for herself with her "interregiomediterraneurasian" menu – a blend of regional, Mediterranean and Asian influences. After stints at Hotel Colombi in Freiburg and Käfer-Schänke and Mandarin Oriental in Munich, she took over the kitchen here in 2007 – which makes her the fourth generation at the helm. Her cooking marries classical French foundations with regional character and international ideas. Dishes such as "crispy Münsterland Töttchen (veal ragout) praline, warm-marinated veal tongue, turnip greens salad & mustard fruits" are based on fresh, top-notch seasonal ingredients, often sourced from nearby producers. Service is pleasingly professional throughout, and the passionate sommelier is on hand to guide you through a well-stocked list of around 250 wines.
