Wullenwever

Wullenwever occupies a Kaufmannshaus dating from 1585 in the heart of Lübeck’s Altstadt and is recognised by Michelin as SELECTED. The house pairs refined cuisine with an extensive wine programme of over 350 labels and offers a catering service with a mobile kitchen for events across northern Germany, plus private‑function capability for small to large groups. The combination of historic setting, market‑led cooking and an expansive wine cellar defines its character. A decorated interior opens onto an almost year‑round courtyard sheltered by sailcloth, while the front "ROY" area provides a cosy, informal, almost private‑stammtisch atmosphere. The overall vibe is relaxed and elegant, designed for calm, unhurried enjoyment. Cuisine is light and modern with roots in classical regional cooking and clear Mediterranean and maritime influences. The kitchen follows a seasonal philosophy that prioritises finest quality and local origin of ingredients, and the menu is reworked roughly every three weeks to balance traditional technique with creative experimentation. Head chef Roy Petermann leads the kitchen, valuing experimentation over mere adherence to tradition and developing dishes at the stove with high technical standards. Specialties include loup de mer tartare with Bianchetto truffle; Skrei with braised cucumber and Büsumer crabs; duck consommé with barley vegetables and kumquat; halibut fillet on spinach with Beurre Rouge; braised shoulder of beef with red‑wine shallot jus; and Mama’s chocolate‑cherry dessert.
