A visit to Victor’s Gourmet Restaurant a@ Schloss Berg in Nennig, Germany has been long overdue…
and increasingly recommended from different sources.
2 of these: foodwinerocknroll and VeryGoodFood
That aside, I booked a table for 2, pulled out Mr. Brown and here We go:
As usual and with less restraint than normal, We are a configured with no lobster, salmon for Anne and I am trying to avoid lactose for my comforts.
Well arrived and seated, we start on an aperitif, rosé for A and the local Molitor Brut for me.

Dining experiences, is about details and a very few items were marked as not optimal (all subjective)
- Red Burgundy was overpowered by the meat
- Steak knives were sharp but seemed gimmicky
- Gold – Waste or not a fancy of mine
Conclusion to festivities, 3 stars fame and all is well deserved… and this little visit were fantastic – even competing with Quique Dacosta
Lessons learned
- Victor’s Gourmet Restaurant @ Schloss Berg is a destination – book now.
- Some Style resemblance to La Vie and Martin Berasategui (More fish & Asia)
- Fish was delicious
- We need to learn more about our wine region
- I need to take more pic’s of host and chefs
- And to shake the camera less… new lens?
- Life is good & we must travel more
nice pictures especially the ones not shaken. I agree we do have fantastic wine in our region – I think we have options for the rest of our life.
