In our restaurant NERO our chef Erika Bergheim coddles you. The native of Essen, who learned from Berthold Bühler in Kettwig, has meanwhile become a large variable in her discipline. Appearances in the USA with star chefs such as Patrick O' Connell or Daniel Boulod encouraged her to follow her own path and thereby particularly rely on fresh bio products from the direct neighbourhood of the castle hotel. In the own herb garden herbs and spices are grown, which give their own character to the kitchen.
The interior of the restaurant NERO is classically elegant, in the summer you dine on the restaurant terrace with view over the castle park. The name of the restaurant is not only a tribute to the first owners of the castle, the barons von Nesselrode Hugenpoet, but also to a distant relative of the family, the Vicomte de Nesselrode. The travel-joyful Vicomte was a large gourmet with lots of love for culinary details and trimmings, which were partly pasted down in the classical cook literature till this day.
