Situated along the prestigious Elbchaussee along the Elbe river, Landhaus Dill comes across as surprisingly casual. Large flower bouquets are scattered across three beautifully decorated rooms.The main restaurant room, a smaller room featuring an original stucco ceiling and large crystal chandeliers, as well as a more intimate room with cherrywood wall panels, are the epitome of German gemütlichkeit. Austrian host Volkmar Preis personally meets and greets his guests. “Our guests feel at ease from the moment they enter. They enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, the good food and the fine wine,” Preis says and the warm-hearted restaurateur reveals: “I truly enjoy meeting so many interesting characters.You get so much in return when you approach people in a positive way.“ Together with chef de cuisine Uli Lärm and

his team, Preis pays great attention to detail when it comes to creating exciting and delicious new menus each month. Guests may choose from a three-course or a fourcourse menu, the so-called Schlemmermenü, which is literally a feast for the tastebuds. Wine lovers are also offered a new treat each month, when six wines from a certain region are embedded in a special menu featuring perfectly matching culinary creations. In November it is all about French wines, while Preis and his team dedicated December to grapes of Spanish origin. With Christmas approaching, Landhaus Dill offers a very special treat for those passionate about poultry. 11 November marks St. Martin’s Day and the beginning of the roast Christmas goose season. Indulging in a Martinsgans or Weihnachtsgans is a
long standing tradition, especially in the North of Germany, and a dedicated menu features a yummy Austrian interpretation of the traditional roast goose. Nice and tender on the inside, while crispy on the outside the roast goose never fails to satisfy even the most discerning food aficionado. Should you plan a special private or corporate event, Landhaus Dill provides tailormade solutions according to size and occasion. And of course children are also most welcome. www.landhausdill.com
