Votum

Votum, in Hannover's Leineschloss (the Lower Saxony state parliament), frames its concept around a vote — a voice, a wish, a decision and a promise. The restaurant commits to the city, the region, gastronomy and hospitality, promotes itself as an exclusive two‑star establishment, offers the Votum Experience tasting concept and provides high‑level catering for events. The kitchen, led by Head Chef Benjamin Gallein, builds on excellent products and clear flavours, combining modern techniques with classical craftsmanship and orienting every dish around taste. Ownership and operation are associated with Johannes Lühmann Catering GmbH, and service includes a named sommelier. Situated in the Leineschloss, the dining experience occupies an institutional, landmark setting. The cuisine is creative and modern, prioritising excellent ingredients and clear flavours; dishes are conceived as expressive statements using modern techniques alongside classic culinary craft with a constant focus on taste. Benjamin Gallein is Head Chef. Specialties include the Votum Experience tasting menu, creative modern cuisine focused on clear flavours and the use of regional produce and products.
