Is Rutz worth it for a romantic trip?

Worth itFor couples in love

For romance, Rutz delivers.

This is the high-water mark of German fine dining — Müller's 'Inspirations' menus build each dish from two exceptional ingredients into something cerebral and deeply rooted in regional sourcing. It's a special-occasion event: plan to surrender three-plus hours and a real budget, and know the wine cellar is as much the point as the plates.
