Handwerk

Handwerk in Hannover emphasises the quintessence of flavour while its kitchen focuses on innovative ideas. The restaurant offers wine and non-alcoholic pairing options alongside set menus. A separate 1950s pavilion, 200 metres from the restaurant, is available for private cookery courses and exclusive dinners, and Handwerk accepts exclusive bookings for corporate functions and private parties. Service unfolds in a relaxed, casual fine-dining atmosphere centred on an open kitchen and a focus on sensory, contemporary presentation. Service hours are evening-focused, reinforcing a refined but informal dining vibe. The cuisine is modern and creative, built around tasting menus that highlight focused flavour combinations and sustainable sourcing. Head Chef Thomas Wohlfeld trained as a cook, worked two years at the one-Michelin-starred Zur Säge in Switzerland and has experience at Hamburg’s Off Club. His passions include French-Asian cuisine. Specialties include Hanse prawn with chawanmushi and kohlrabi; cod with beetroot and strawberry; mushroom with brioche and black garlic; range chicken with morel and cranberry; apple with walnut and vanilla; and a menu upgrade of imperial caviar, beef and pepper.
