Located in the beautiful Ahr valley just past the big bridge (motorway A61). On the outside it is an inconspicuous location. Upon entering we were warmly welcomed and given a table at the cigar lounge by the courtyard garden. The menu is handwritten, in German, which takes some getting used to 😉 We chose the menu which started with 3 preparations of tuna. Pasta with stew in the middle, followed by a creamy, sour riesling soup with pike perch. Main course was roe with pointed cabbage and spätzle. When asked whether the deer came from the immediate vicinity, the answer was not forthcoming. Dessert was a delicious creme brullee with strawberries and white chocolate ice cream. The wine list was a real bible with many top German wine producers including the local Meyer-Näkel. 🍷 The service and Hospitality was excellent which is typical for a family company. Absolutely recommended this restaurant for the kitchen and winelist. We finished the dinner with a superb, local,...
Read moreWe were at Steinheuers for the first time for a special event called "Große Weine, Große Winzer", a showcase featuring an exceptional array of wines from the region and revered German vineyards, including the likes of Meyer-Näkel and Knipser. The restaurant was nothing short of remarkable – a sentiment echoed by its Michelin recognition, which is thoroughly merited. The pigeon, a dish of sublime perfection, was undoubtedly one of the best dishes of our lives. Yet, the brilliance did not end there; the entire menu was a tour de force of gastronomic excellence, each dish executed with masterful technique and meticulous attention to detail and understated elegance. The staff's impeccable service paralleled the culinary artistry – knowledgeable, attentive, and refined. For us, Steinheuers represents all the attributes that we love about fine dining. We are already anticipating our return to with...
Read moreI knew that Steinheuers Restaurant Zur Alten Post is a 2 Michelin Starred Restaurant. As I had a chance and honor to savor one or two of their dishes, I (would never) didnt say no, no matter what. Afterall, Hans Stefan Steinheuers Restaurant belongs to World Best Restaurant according Guide Gault Millau (with 19 GM Points)... And I wasnt disappointed at all. Not even with some dark spots on my Roaster that noon.
We chose Crispy Roaster on fine Cabbage and Chantelle Dumpling for the Main Course and Montelimar Nougat with exotic Coulis and Rabenhorst Fruit Sorbet for the Dessert. That was one of the best Suckling Pig/Roaster I ever got plus the Sauce was terrifiying nice. Eventhough the original Montelimar Nougat is made of white chocolate, this darker version plus the Fruit Sorbet were flawless!
Look forward to having another Rendesvous...
