ESPLANADE
Two Michelin stars, with chef Silio Del Fabro blending French, Mediterranean and Japanese flavors in a century-old schoolhouse.
Housed in a historic schoolhouse built in 1890, with a boutique hotel upstairs. Chef Silio Del Fabro, a former sous chef under Klaus Erfort, earned a star in 2019 and has held two Michelin stars since 2021. Falstaff 2026 scored it 96 points. The restaurant offers the classic Signature menu and the back-to-basics Racine menu. Some ingredients come from partner farms, and the wine list focuses on French and German wines. Open Wednesday to Saturday, with reservations required. On Sunday to Tuesday, the Le Petit CINQ in the same building is open instead. It is in the Nauwieser district, about a 5-minute walk from St. Johann Market.
