The story
Chef Joris Hogervorst leads the kitchen at Restaurant Mohn in Ruppichteroth, where German cuisine shifts with every harvest. He designs two parallel tasting routes called Fauna and Flora. One path features meat and fish while the other remains plant-based. The Schlemmer Atlas recognized this disciplined approach with three spoons in its 2026 edition.
The establishment takes its name from the wild poppies that blanket the surrounding fields near Much. This botanical reference frames the space as a place dedicated to growth and quiet refinement. Guests settle into an idyllic setting within the Bergisches Land that favors unhurried conversation over loud spectacle. Every interior detail supports the grounded rhythm of German cooking.
The kitchen prepares every plate from scratch and replaces individual items as market supplies shift. Diners receive four to five courses arranged with careful attention to texture and balance. Responsible sourcing anchors this German culinary practice while the team maintains strict standards throughout service.
