Fixed-menu gastronomy in historic Nürnberg


While the building itself has been on official records as a culinary centre for some 500 years, only since 1989 has this picturesque townhouse in the heart of Nürnberg been hosted self-taught chef Andree Köthe’s unique style of “Gewürzküche” – focusing on the use of herbs and spices to innovative ends. Seating 20 in the main restaurant (a private dining room additionally seats 10), the space is intimate, bedecked in traditional wood stylings with exposed timber beams lining the ceiling. Set tasting menus for both lunch and dinner service present such concoctions as trout with mustard pickle and kohlrabi with yeast – creative dishes, elegantly plated and all paired to wine suggestions.
