For the first time ever members of the Restaurant Rankings Gourmet Club have elected a menu of the year. They chose from a list of 75 courses and 11 accompanying wines from the Menus of the Month throughout 2013. Roughly 75% of our members participated in the election. Using their final choices we have put together an eight-course menu.
In particular the following found special support amongst the voters:
Johannes King from Söl’ring Hof auf Sylt and his team,
Andreas Caminada from Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau and his team,
Christian Jürgens from Übefahrt in Rottach-Egern.and his team. Each of these teams provide two courses for the menu. From Christian Jürgens, only recently awarded his third Michelin star, comes the course with the highest marks: namely the main course from the October menu named after the TV series 'Bulle von Tölz' <Policeman from Tölz. The main character is played by a somewhat large, bull-like actor.> dIn addition courses originate from
Andreas Krolik from Tigerpalast-Restaurant in Frankfurt/ Main and from
Sebastian Zier along with patissier
Christian Hümbs from La Mer im A-Rosa Sylt. Of the sommeliers
David Eitel from La belle Epoque in Travemünde lead the field.
The individual courses can be viewed here. The descriptions are in German.At this point we would like to express our thanks to all the chefs and service people at the club restaurants for 2013 that they made the decision so difficult for us to choose the menu of the year.
