fumi — Restaurant in Deidesheim

We were here for Christmas Day lunch and it could not have been more perfect. We were able to enjoy a 5 course meal (quickly enough to enjoy it with 2 toddlers) and again, enjoy, was the keyword.

Usually stuff like this can be torture with young kids. You can’t order what you want because it will take too long. Whatever small quick thing you aren’t excited about that you do order still takes too long. And then the food is still too fancy for the kids to enjoy anything. None of that was the case here.

The green tea and coffee were also not what we were expecting, especially after the great food and wine. Overall, it is a great place to eat and the...

Spacious, well designed restaurant with excellent food and service to match. We particularly enjoyed being able to hold a conversation without the noise level intruding. We had the Kaiseki menü for 89€ p. p. And the Weinprobe for 26€. We felt the price was well justified and the food was exquisite in presentation, marvelously varied in flavour and the quantity was just right. This is a place for gourmets rather than gourmands. It feels genuine in its Japanese character whilst embracing the local architecture and wines in...
