1789

Chef Florian Stolte has struck out on his own with 1789, which has proven to be a fine addition to the dining options at the Traube Tonbach hotel. The two six-course set menus – one of them vegetarian – showcase his unique culinary style. His cooking is clear and modern, with Asian influences harmoniously woven throughout the menu, creating subtle contrasts. He skilfully highlights the top quality of his ingredients, bringing out, for example, the full flavour of the juicy crustacean in a classic take on raw, tender and subtly seasoned langoustine carpaccio, or highlighting the wonderful aroma of grilled Wagyu beef fillet, seasoned with just a touch of salt. The restaurant itself has an intimate, minimalist decor that feels chic and sophisticated, the atmosphere is pleasingly laid-back, and the well-staffed front-of-house team provides friendly and efficient service.
