The story

Restaurant Herrmann's in Rittersdorf: French cooking in a 12th-century castle

Restaurant Herrmann's sits at Bitburger Str. 30 in Rittersdorf (Eifel), where Sylvia and Achim Herrmann run a French kitchen inside a 12th-century water castle. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 2 Kochlöffel in 2026, and the four-course menu is the one the guide recommends for a special evening.

Regional produce, cooked with care

The Herrmanns have run the restaurant since 2003. Their kitchen works with local ingredients more than strictly regional recipes, and the menu changes with the seasons. A house specialty is Heidschnucken, the heath sheep from Heidschnuckenhof Schultheis in Usch. Another local product is the Nelchesbirne, a pear that grows only in the Eifel and is distilled into spirits.

From the published menu

Achim Herrmann's recipe for the Rittersdorf-Menü lists beef tatar from Limousin rind with goat's cheese salad, and a braised Heidschnucken leg and shank served with stuffed savoy cabbage and potatoes. Dessert is a crème brûlée over cherry ragout, flambéed with raspberry schnapps. Guests often single out the risotto and the service.
