Type: A true French gourmet experience

With the emphasis on elegant, imaginative dining in a Victorian setting, Le Jardin de France offers a true French gourmet experience. Owned by Sophie and Stephan Bernhard, who are actually French, the restaurant enjoys the reputation as one of the country’s finest and is its own small corner of France in a German setting. The pretty terrace in the inner courtyard of the historical building is a particularly pleasant setting for a meal. Recommendations from the seasonal menu include the lobster risotto served with oysters and the duck liver roasted with apples and macadamia nuts.
