Overview
The schanz. restaurant is a small family business in Piesport, a town beautifully located on the Moselle River that is known for its wine production.
The restaurant is run by Thomas Schanz, a celebrated chef who has earned three Michelin stars and the title of Chef of the Year 2021 by Gault&Millau. His cuisine is based on classic French product cuisine with a creative and modern twist. The dishes are refined, complex, and full of flavour, showcasing the best ingredients from the region and beyond.
Some of the signature dishes include the lobster with mango and curry, the lamb with artichoke and mint, and the chocolate soufflé with passion fruit sorbet.
The restaurant also has a cozy lounge and a terrace overlooking the river, where guests can enjoy a drink or a snack before or after their meal.
The restaurant also offers a tasteful and elegant ambiance, friendly and attentive service, and a selection of excellent wines from the Moselle and other areas. The wine list features over 600 labels, ranging from local Rieslings to rare vintages from Bordeaux and Burgundy. You can also select a wine pairing; each course offers 2 pairings, and you can select one after you taste it and learn why it is a great pairing. One wine comes from the local regions and one from abroad. I selected mainly the local wines to get a taste of the great varieties of wines in the region.
