The story
Coeur D'Artichaut in Münster serves modern French cooking at Alter Fischmarkt 11A, and the kitchen holds two Michelin stars in the 2026 guide for excellent cooking.
Frédéric Morel, born in France, builds his menus on Breton roots and the produce of his adopted home in Westphalia. Creole spices sit alongside regional ingredients, and the sauces and stocks stand out. The tasting menu changes every month and follows the season.
One fish course pairs cold-smoked sturgeon with Ossetra caviar, served with cauliflower prepared three ways and samphire. The Münsterland venison comes with pan-seared porcini, lingonberries and a pumpernickel purée, plus a praline made from braised venison shoulder served on the side. Guests choose four, six or eight courses.
Seven tables surround the open kitchen, and a separate room seats up to ten for groups. The service is warm, and chefs sometimes visit the tables. Katrin, the chef sommelier, selects the wines, which are available as pairings, as a prestige option, or as a non-alcoholic pairing that the Gusto guide counts among the best in Germany.

History
Excellent cooking
Not far from the Prinzipalmarkt lies the small, modern fine-dining restaurant with an open kitchen and a distinctive lighting installation. Chef Frédéric Morel offers an exciting four- to eight-course tasting menu.
Concept A casual fine dining restaurant with an open kitchen and a truly distinctive character. A monthly rotating menu offered in four (Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays only, excluding public holidays), six, and eight courses. Culinary Style Breton roots, Westphalian ingredients, Creole spices, and a high degree of creativity: Frédéric Morel’s highly personal style refuses to be pigeonholed. An elegant fish course features cold-smoked sturgeon with Ossetra caviar, paired with a triple preparation of cauliflower and samphire. Paying homage to their adopted home is the Münsterland venison, matched with pan-seared porcini mushrooms and lingonberries. It is accompanied by a pumpernickel purée and, served separately, a praline crafted from braised venison shoulder. Wine Curated with meticulous care are the wine pairings – available as a prestige option as well – and their outstanding non-alcoholic alternative. Atmosphere The exceptionally warm service – with chefs even visiting tables – plays a major role in creating the relaxed atmosphere. Verdict Exceptional flavor experiences, both on the plate and in the glass.
