Rüssel's Landhaus

Rüssels Landhaus, founded in 1992 by Ruth and Harald Rüssel, is a family‑run gastronomic house in the Dhron valley near the Mosel; the property comprises 14 individually styled rooms and suites, two restaurants and an off‑site catering arm with a related restaurant/event location, Kachatelier Manternach, in Luxembourg. Housed in a restored old mill, the Landhaus preserves the building's character and presents an intimate, stylish boutique‑hotel atmosphere; a newly designed terrace by the house pond expands the dining options and the mood is relaxed, nature‑connected and family‑oriented, suitable for calm gourmet experiences and small celebrations. The Gourmet Restaurant holds one Michelin star, 17 Gault Millau points and an FFFF+ rating, serving creative, modern "Neue Deutsche Küche" with a strong regional focus; kitchens rely on local producer networks and integrate foraged and hunted produce into market‑driven, seasonally focused dishes that combine fine‑dining technique with regional sourcing. Patron and Head Chef Harald Rüssel trained at Romantik‑Hotel Burgkeller, La Becasse, La Bonne Auberge in Antibes and the Schweizer Stuben; he leads the culinary direction with his son Frederik, who has co‑led the kitchen since September 2024. Specialties include wild game from the estate's own hunt, Restaurant Hasenpfeffer's land‑house game dishes, 5‑, 6‑ and 7‑course tasting menus with optional wine pairings and a regular midday "Menu Surprise" of three courses with three corresponding wines drawn from the Mosel‑Saar‑Ruwer region.
