OUR RESTAURANT IN NÖRTEN HARDENBERG

We warmly welcome you to our Novalis restaurant on your culinary journey through the region. Inspired by the surrounding Hardenberg estates, chef Malte Gunzert creates innovative seasonal menus from regional ingredients. You can expect incredible dishes with game from our own hunt, Leinetal smoked fish or a completely vegetarian menu with products that we obtain directly from the farmer in the neighboring village. 

But the Novalis restaurant is not only a culinary destination for the evening. Start your day with select delicacies from our diverse Hardenberg breakfast buffet. In addition, our team will spoil you with lovingly prepared pancakes, fresh egg dishes or hearty boar sausages from our own country estate.

The restaurant Novalis was awarded 85 points by the Falstaff Hotel Guide this year and is among the 500 best gourmet restaurants in Germany.
