An amazing experience! Had the 6 course menu with wine arrangement and everything was delicious. The staff were friendly and professional. An easy recommendation for a special dinner.

This is the restaurant you would choose to celebrate special occasion. Anniversary, Birthday, Valentine, you name it all, and I think you and your partner will come home with big smile on your face and happy tummy. This was my third time coming here. This time I order 5 course meal with wine (cost €89 per person) and every penny are very well spent on those meals. If it’s happen to be your first time, you can try the 3-course surprise menu (it cost only €68 including wine). Normally I can say both me and my husband are eating quite a lot and perhaps come home still hungry even after 5-course meal in other fine dining restaurant. But not in Hannapel. There is something magical that I can’t explain why we always feel the right amount of “full” and “happy” after dining in this restaurant. Don’t forget to reserve before you come. Cheers.

I visited the restaurant on the 17th of July after a spontaneous reservation the same day. I had the wonderful 5 course menue.

In short, I am happy to visit this place again. The food was well prepared the personnel was nice and friendly. I had a lovely evening, thank you!

In greater detail, I was positively surprised to find this place in Essen. I honestly had my doubts first but when I was making the reservation but they delivered. Quite frankly I haven't found a lot of places in essen where I happily spent more money on food and actually get in exchange a menue that is simply tasty while not being pretentious overkill.

The 5 course menue was diverse and all the ingredients perfectly seasoned and prepared. The portion sizes were noted as too small by other people before me, however, I cannot agree. In comparison to other places, e.g. madame pic or Blumenthals restaurants, I found them quite sizeable.

As I said, all ingredients were very enjoyable. The only note I would make, nitpickingly, I thought it contained a lot of different animal protein all at once. Sometimes mixing two "star ingredients" such as turbot and unagi in one dish was overwhelming for me. While I very much enjoyed the dish I secretly thought it overshadowed each other and I could have been happy with one of the two or less of the two together. It relates to balancing for me personally. Same with the dessert, while I thought all the flavors play incredibly well i was personally overwhelmed by the very acidic sauce. I was missing a neutralizing component, balancing all the sour and acidic flavors. Nevertheless, this is a personal, not very objective point :) that should not stop anyone to visit.

Lastly, my only real criticism, was the cappuccino. This is something not many places get right and it seems to be neglectable. However, being a little coffee nerd myself, it is worth mentioning that the cappuccino was burned, with a coarse foam/crema, making it not up to the standard of the rest of food in the restaurant.

All in all I had a lovely evening with great food to reasonable prices considering the level of care and creativity put in the dishes. I hope you guys keep it up and change the menue frequently. I would love to try more.

All the best

One of the best restaurants in the Ruhr area is the ´Hannappel´ in Essen. The ´Eckkneipe´ of yore welcomes the guest with stylish ambience, elegance and unspoken wish ´feel at home.` What follows can only be done hard to describe, you have to experience. The festively set table with subtle Vivaldi music in the background, the result of exquisite dishes with in between cleverly installed surprises from the kitchen, matching drinks and the impeccably professional, unobtrusive staff service, that offers it all Knut Hannappel with his team. He wants to maintain this level in the future. A star more than overdue, but perhaps not sought.
