Vendôme

About

Vendôme operates within the Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg in Bergisch Gladbach, holding two Michelin stars and five red toques in Gault&Millau. The kitchen is led by Dennis Kuckuck, whose cooking applies classical French technique with an emphasis on product quality and contrasts of acidity and freshness; service follows two tasting menus of five or seven courses, one built on meat and fish, the other vegetarian. Pastry is overseen by Larissa Metz, named Pâtissière of the Year 2025 by the Feinschmecker Gastro Award, and the property also houses a Gewölbekeller used for private dinners.
