The story
The Living - Room in Hannover delivers a refined modern fusion and Mediterranean cuisine approach to contemporary dining. Chef Benjamin Meusel structures the main menu around a six-course progression that prioritizes ingredient quality over complex presentations. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the kitchen 2.5 spoons for this measured style during the 2026 guide cycle. Diners seeking a lighter pace can still access the same recipes through the attached bistro area.
Roasted quail sits alongside substantial seafood choices like lobster and monkfish throughout the tasting lineup. The kitchen relies on precise heat control and minimal seasoning to let the natural flavors carry forward. When those same proteins appear on the bistro board, they adopt a more relaxed Mediterranean rhythm. Pan-seared zander and a reimagined currywurst demonstrate how international techniques blend with regional comfort food.
The building houses two separate dining zones under a single operational roof. The main floor carries a simple sign directing guests toward the formal tasting experience. Staff members follow an internal motto that encourages visitors to arrive as strangers and leave as friends. That straightforward hospitality framework dictates everything from table spacing to the pacing of each course.
