Burg Schwarzenstein can be pleased about a prominent newcomer: Nelson Müller will open the new brasserie at the Relais & Châteaux Hotel Burg Schwarzenstein here on June 10, 2020. Until a few weeks ago, two-star chef Nils Henkel had provided culinary delights at Burg Schwarzenstein in Geisenheim-Johannisberg near Frankfurt am Main. After parting ways with Henkel and his nature-loving cuisine (we reported on it HERE), Stephanie and Michael Teigelkamp were looking for a new concept: "Modern, yet stylish and open to a new zeitgeist." That's how it should be - and in the chef and restaurateur Nelson Müller, known from numerous TV formats, the perfect candidate was quickly found. "Nelson Müller is humanly an incredibly valuable contemporary and professionally simply a great cook," says Michael Teigelkamp.
The idea of another location of Nelson Müllers "Müllers auf der Rü" was born very quickly and together they worked on the concept "MÜLLERS auf der Burg". The unique location of the Relais & Chateaux property in the direct vicinity of the centuries-old wine-growing area around the Johannisberg immediately inspired the star chef from Essen. No wonder, the castle Schwarzenstein captivates nevertheless by a completely special atmosphere, in which the guests can be spoiled starting from the 10 June now also Nelson Mueller's kitchen.
A look at the menu is more than promising in this regard: Traditional French specialties - such as a scalloped onion soup, a bouillabaisse or Breton turbot with Norway lobster jus - are on offer, as are popular brasserie classics like a veal curry sausage with Belgian fries, a fillet of beef Rossini or a tender osso bucco with gremolata. The Oyster Bar is home to freshly caught lobster and Gillardeau oysters, the latter served in classic fashion with red wine vinaigrette and chester bread.
For those craving something sweet to finish, try Mueller's chocolate nibble or a wonderful tarte au citron from Amalfi Lemon.
In contrast to the Burgrestaurant, which focuses on German and Rheingau wines, the wine selection at the new brasserie is more international - French and Italian varietals, as well as the well-known Nelson Müller wines.
