Merkles’ cuisine
Restaurant Merkles is where chef Thomas Merkle’s cosmopolitan nature meets local regional cuisine. Thanks to his great eye for detail and imagination, you can enjoy artistic culinary delights that are beautifully balanced and harmonized. The head chef only works with first-class produce, preferably fresh products from the region. But carefully selected meat, poultry, fish and seafood from international top suppliers also find their way onto the restaurant’s menu. Next to the standard menus, Merkles offers a special, affordable 3-course JRE menu for guests under the age of 30: the Twenü.
