Ahlmanns
Ahlmanns im Romantik Hotel Kieler Kaufmann
A one-Michelin-star restaurant in a former banker’s villa, where chef Lasse Knickrehm serves seasonal creative tasting menus.
Located inside the Kieler Kaufmann boutique hotel, the restaurant occupies a former banker’s villa with a modern minimalist interior and a terrace overlooking the park. It has held one Michelin star in both 2025 and 2026, and about 3 toques from Gault&Millau. Chef Lasse Knickrehm has led the kitchen since 2023 and was named a 2024 Rising Star by Der Feinschmecker. Only tasting menus of three to seven courses are served, balancing contrast and harmony. Wine or non-alcoholic pairings are available, and vegetarian versions can be requested when booking. Prices are very high, so book well ahead. About 10 minutes by bus or taxi from the city center.
