Werneckhof Sigi Schelling

Since striking out on her own at the time-honoured Werneckhof near the English Garden, Sigi Schelling has remained true to her own culinary concept, building on classic foundations to deliver refreshingly light and accessible cuisine. Steering clear of gimmicks, she adopts a pared-down approach to create dishes such as "leek puree, nut butter, caviar" or "lukewarm char, fregola sarda, pea puree, smoked eel cream". The "Business Lunch" comprises three or four courses; in the evening a more sophisticated five-course set menu is served. The exceptionally pleasant atmosphere is thanks in no small part to the courteous and perfectly coordinated service team, including spot-on wine recommendations. The restaurant boasts a lovely decor: Dark wood panelling and mouldings retain the character of yesteryear; elegant armchairs, striking chandeliers and artworks add a touch of modern elegance.
