Restaurant Haerlin
Neustadt / Inner Alster, Germany
Haerlin combines Christoph Rüffer’s precise French-inspired cooking with the elegance of Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. Seasonal ingredients, carefully judged contrasts and accomplished sauces give the tasting menu its character. The dining room is equally considered, with silk wallpaper, soft colours and a striking wine cabinet. Service follows the polished grand-hotel tradition, and the wine selection rewards a conversation with the sommelier. This is a place to settle in for a substantial evening, with the meal as the main event.
