We had the pleasure of celebrating my girl’s birthday at Widder restaurant tonight, and the experience was nothing short of extraordinary. Service was impeccable, with Chef Stefan Heilemann personally greeting us both at the start and end of the meal—a personal touch that elevated the entire evening.
The food was absolutely amazing. Each course was a vibrant visual masterpiece—thoughtfully composed and presented. As someone who enjoys tartness in my dishes, I was thrilled by the chef’s proclivity for acidity that blends perfectly with other rich flavors.

At the end of the evening, they surprised my girl with a rich, decadent chocolate cake, making an already special night even more memorable.
The entire evening was an exquisite dining experience, from the first bite to the last. My highest compliments to Chef Stefan Heilemann and his talented team for creating such an unforgettable...
