Restaurant review

Sonnora, Dreis


Rheinland-Pfalz, Dreis, Forum

"What an epic feast"

Forum member Thomashaj says: “What an epic feast, with Marco Franzelin providing the perfect wine pairings to go with it. There’s really no need to say much more about Marco Franzelin. His expertise is undisputed, but it’s not just that which makes him one of the very best sommeliers around – it’s his personality. And he demonstrates this by striking just the right note at every table, never coming across as patronising, and always being humorous and quick-witted. In short: he’s simply a delight to be around. And this rubs off on the entire service team, who, led by Magdalena Rambichler and Julia Schmitt, perform flawlessly yet without any air of stiffness. Here too, ‘Sonnora’ has undergone a welcome evolution over the years. This has long been true of Clemens Rambichler’s cuisine. He has struck the right balance between carrying on Helmuth Thieltges’ legacy and developing his own signature style, offering a very contemporary take on French classics. In doing so, like his mentor, he continues to rely on the finest ingredients and impeccable craftsmanship. From the first amuse-bouches to the final sweets, every course was of a breathtaking standard, and the sauces were consistently ravishing. If that isn’t a rock-solid three stars, then I don’t know what is.” (Published in June 2026)
