Temporarily closed. Previously home to Hotel Alte Kanzlei, this little architectural gem dating from 1677 is tucked away in an inconspicuous side street in Andernach. Axel Vervoordt's tasteful contemporary design accounts for the stylish look of what is now the boutique hotel PURS. This carries over into the restaurant, where the eye is immediately drawn to the artwork on the walls and the glass-fronted open kitchen. Yannick Noack and his team use select ingredients to create a modern, seasonal set menu comprising six to eight courses, which you can expand with a "signature dish". Contrasts in texture and flavour are combined harmoniously in dishes such as fine strips of hamachi on a bed of delightfully soft risoni pasta, accompanied by cauliflower and chopped almonds – both raw and roasted; finished with a white soy foam and a quenelle of caviar. This is by no means the only dish that is absolutely on point! In winter, aperitifs are served in the lounge, which has a wonderful fireplace, and on the fabulous terrace in summer.
