esskunst

esskunst is a modern restaurant in Schwarzenfeld run by Tamara Fäller and Christian Bernholz, who after many years in top-level gastronomy at home and abroad opened their own place to realise a long-held dream. The kitchen focuses on fresh, hand-picked ingredients of the highest quality and composes unique dishes that unite different national cuisines and styles. The team reinterprets classic dishes while following a single rule: anything is allowed as long as it tastes. Reservations are handled via an online form and the venue occasionally publishes closed dates and Betriebsurlaub periods on its booking calendar. Parties of more than seven are served from a prepared selection card, and the restaurant is recognised in the Michelin Guide as SELECTED. The restaurant offers a relaxed, informal atmosphere that values conviviality over formality. Guests are welcomed with friendly service and a warm smile in a modern, homely setting. Staff personally explain dishes so diners feel comfortable and at ease. The cooking style blends modern and market-driven cuisine, combining fresh, carefully chosen ingredients with influences from various national culinary traditions and contemporary techniques. Menus include composed four-course prix fixes, two different four-course menus are available, and à la carte options allow guests to create their own experience. Vegetarian alternatives are available. Specialties include pan-seared duck liver with cassis, cinnamon pear and pecan; a duo of scallops with paprika and jalapeño; slow-cooked winter cod with coconut, lemongrass and sesame; Iberico pork fillet and cheeks with asparagus and peanut; and Valrhona chocolate tart with mango ragout.
