The story
The Rosenthal Casino Restaurant in Selb combines mid-century aesthetics with a kitchen that highlights Italian and classic French influences. Philip Rosenthal envisioned this space as an oasis of calm, resulting in a dining room where red-brown teak wood meets the warmth of small leather nooks designed for quiet conversation. Extravagant art objects punctuate the environment, including an illuminated beer bottle wall crafted exclusively for this venue. Diners eat from noble Rosenthal porcelain, grounding the experience in local heritage. The aesthetic draws heavily from the sixties, balancing artistic flair with cozy elegance. This visual identity earned the venue two spoons from the Schlemmer Atlas, which praises the harmonious interplay between the stylish interior and the culinary creativity.
The kitchen prioritizes high-quality fresh produce, drawing from domestic bio-certified farms and a herb garden located on-site. These regional foundations support ambitious preparations that incorporate exclusive luxury ingredients alongside everyday freshness. Traces of Italian cooking and traditional French techniques guide the menu, creating a dialogue between homegrown resources and broader European traditions. The team balances these elements through precise technique, allowing the quality of the herbs and luxury items to define the dish rather than masking them with heavy sauces. Every preparation focuses on the careful processing of aromatics, ensuring that the flavor profile remains clear and refined.
The restaurant maintains a stylish table culture supported by professional service staff who attend to every detail. Guests can reserve the "Candle Light Dinner – Wine & Dine," a four-course tasting menu paired with sparkling wine upon arrival and wines selected for each course. This package includes mineral water and a choice of espresso or cappuccino to conclude the evening. On Fridays, the kitchen opens for a relaxed lunch break offering a selection of à la carte dishes for those seeking a shorter visit. The capacity accommodates up to eighty guests, making the space suitable for both intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.
