Neuer Bericht über das Restaurant von Sigi Schelling

"Nachdem es in München viele interessante Adressen gibt, die Schlagzeilen machen, verbirgt sich hier im Atelier ein stiller Star."

"Der Stil von Küchenchef Daniel Bodamer, viele der Gerichte auf zwei Teller aufzuteilen, führt zu einer Vielfalt an Zubereitungen und handwerklichen Ausführungen."

"Hier heißt es in erster Linie: Entspannung und Zurücklehnen und der Genuss kann beginnen."

"Detailschärfe und Intensität so gekonnt zu kombinieren, versetzt mich in den Zustand 'glücklich sein'."

"Das Restaurant bleibt spannend"

"Neben dem Ris de veau, welches ich in zwei Gängen genoss, war noch Platz für eine kleine Vorspeise - Jakobsmuschel- und ein Schokoladendessert. Ich kann mich nicht beschweren, Finesse, Zutaten, Zubereitung und Service waren alle auf sehr hohem Niveau."

"Mein Gesamteindruck ist jedoch, dass Jan Hartwig eher noch besser geworden ist als im Atelier, er sich nochmals weiterentwickelt hat."

"Alle Gänge absolut ausgewogen, meist komplex und ohne Fehl und Tadel. Wenn das keinen Stern wert ist, weiß ich es auch nicht."

Tischnotizen: "Jan Hartwigs Küche ist wie gewohnt souverän"

"Schärfe ist ein wiederkehrendes Merkmal, aber immer in differenzierter Form und nie dominierend"
