★★★ THE BEST RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS 2014 ★★★ Robbe & Berking Restaurant Guide 2014 ★★★ Dear readers, The combination of fi ne cuisine and exclusive silver is an experience for the senses which Robbe & Berking has been devoting itself to for 140 years. For the taste buds and nose, the skill of a perfect, gourmet meal. For the hands and eyes, the aesthetics of our silver. Together with the special atmosphere of a special restaurant: All of these factors come together to create the very best, which we present to you each year in our little restaurant guide. This year’s edition features 201 top addresses. Our time is too valuable to spend in a bad restaurant. Visit the best and enjoy it. Yours, Oliver Berking 2 3 4 Sphinx This collection draws its inspiration from the principles of the Bauhaus movement. Yet there is a difference. The refi ned, focused aesthetic has made the new Sphinx an icon of moder- nity. The beauty of the silver is brought to the fore by the plastic material distribution. The handle continues to intensify in shape and culminates in a dramatic curve as it meets the mouthpiece. The antipole represents a fi nal element that is full of character, and that allows the cutlery to almost fl oat above the table. With it Sphinx combines aesthetics with haptic excellence. Design: Wilfried Moll Wine tumbler, water tumbler and vodka beaker from the “Sphinx” collection. 55 ★★★ Aqua Wolfsburg The impressive hallmarks of Sven Elverfeld’s cooking style are well-thought-out com- binations of simplicity and sophistication, a constellation that never fails to impress. His cuisine focuses on the fundamental things and is concentrated on the harmony found within the ingredients’ own particular taste and fl avour. Sven Elverfeld attaches particular importance to fi rst-class local and European produce, which is freshly bought every day from carefully selected producers and suppliers. The ambience of the gourmet restaurant is underlined by the almost puristic design, which has been created by the renowned French interior designer Andrée Putman. Blue and white stained oak exudes a warm aura whilst the art deco armchairs made of the fi nest materials in silver, anthracite and auburn create accentuated splashes of colour.

The shape exudes complete harmony and features the perfect proportions that made Thomas Chippendale so famous. Good taste is – as Rousseau once said – the art of understanding the fi ner details. It is not least these fi ner details, this almost old-fashioned love of detail, that constitutes the special value of Alt-Chippendale. The striking Chippendale thread, which is semi-circular in profi le, is an example of this. It borders both the front and the rear sides of the cutlery: A feature that can only be found in the Alt-Chippendale collection from Robbe & Berking. Caviar bowl made of crystal glass with silver trimming and lid. The handle is a fi nely fashioned silver sturgeon. 1111 ★★ Haerlin Hamburg The Haerlin Restaurant undoubtedly does its reputation and its great tradition justice and it is not recognized as the fl agship of the four restaurants in the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten without good cause.
