What's important to me
Responsible enjoyment that always surprises anew
Life is in flux… New challenges and perspectives are constantly emerging, and I'm happy to have arrived in my homeland after exciting stints in Wiesbaden, St. Moritz, Mallorca, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, via Australia. Here I am, back in my home country, where I've been running my own restaurant for several years now, realizing my own vision.
I value combining my expertise and creativity with responsible enjoyment. That's why we respect climate, season, nature, and local produce when selecting and preparing our dishes. What does that mean exactly? It means we don't simply order random ingredients from a gourmet wholesaler or throw away food we don't currently need. "Nose to tail" is more than just a concept for us. It's about respecting resources.
For us, responsible enjoyment also means: We make a lot ourselves. From freshly churned butter to handmade pasta, from fish we catch ourselves in the Moselle River to vegetables harvested behind the house, and so on. We also always offer creative vegetarian and vegan dishes and menus.
My restaurant, Altes Kelterhaus, in Wintrich on the Moselle, is therefore not like any other restaurant. It is the culmination of my experiences and allows me to continually surprise my guests.
The best way is to see for yourself.
