JUWEL
Schirgiswalde-Kirschau, Germany




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
This fine dining restaurant of the wellness hotel BEI SCHUMANN is aptly named, starting with a plush interior done out in chic lilac and black tones and including carefully chosen details such as amethysts and Swarovski crystals. Then there is the modern and creative cuisine, which also draws on more classic culinary traditions – this is the domain of Tobias Heldt. The five to nine courses on the menu include dishes such as Lamb 'Marrakesh', chickpea, paprika and Halibut, edamame, umeboshi plum. And it would be remiss not to mention the exquisite pâtisserie. Another feel-good factor makes the experience complete: the extremely friendly and professional service team, headed up by Patrick Grunewald, who will also share their competent insights when it comes to wine. Tip: there is an extensive champagne selection!
