    Kitchen Chef Miss Alexa is a real artist. Before eating at Gauthier I did not even know that such amazing food exists. The best food experience I have ever had in my whole life. Simply divine! Miss Alexa deserves all Michelin Stars that a kitchen chef can get. We have some favourites: home made spaghetti with Caviar, vegetables with mash potatoes and a particular cake. I just wish I could go to Gauthier every day! Count Tilo Friedrich von Allmen can’t wait to meet Miss Alexa!

    Roka is our favourite restaurant, we are rarely disappointed about the food and service, but the enjoyment finishes when you are presented the bill. Overpriced drinks and certain food items, not much on your plate but you pay a fortune for it.
