RESTAURANT REVIEW

The town of Wolfsburg, an hour west of Berlin by hi-speed train, is dominated by the Volkswagen Stadt. The Volkswagen company has ponied up money for all types of things, ranging from a top notch soccer stadium to a wonderfully appointed Ritz-Carlton Hotel (designed by Andre Putnam) that hosts a restaurant that houses this wonderful restaurant Given the unusual setting (the dining room faces a museum with cars on display), [Sven] Elverfeld has also taken a diverse approach so that his cuisine appeals to a varied clientele. So it is not uncommon for you dinner to range from original takes on German dishes (like his playful simmered corned beef from Müritz lamb, Frankfurt-style green sauce, potato and egg), to more internationally styled dishes like Pigeon from the Vendée with Périgord truffle, spinach, bacon, mushrooms and pigeon essence.
