An hour south of Frankfurt, Germany, by car, Annette Schiller and I had a wonderful dinner at Atable im Amtshaus in Freinsheim in the Pfalz. Just around the corner in Freinsheim is #worldclass producer Weingut Rings and several other star producers are not far away.

Annette and I went for the 6-course menu for Euro 120, prepared by Chef Swen Bultmann and his team. Annette and I agreed if we were Michelin testers, we would give it a Michelin star. Currently, the restaurant is Michelin-listed. You could also go for the menu with 3, 4, 5 courses or eat à la carte, what our neighbors did. They had the "Ganze Seezunge am Tisch filetiert fuer 2 Personen" (Euro 88).

The wine list is impressive, put together by highly-regarded Sommelier Sybille Bultmann, Swen's wife. It totals 36 pages with the focus on wines from the Pfalz and other German wine regions as well as on France, including a strong selection of wines from the Loire Valley .

Annette and I chose an ultra-premium German Sekt from Christmann-Kaufmann from the Pfalz - Cuvee 203 - and a 2016 Cabernet Franc Domaine des Roches Neuves from Saumur-Champigny in the Loire valley, both for about Euro 90.

The ultra-premium Sekt, a cooperation of Weingut Christmann and former Bollinger Chef de Cave M. Kaufmann, is currently only available in selected restaurants, including Atable of Swen and Sybille Bultmann.

The restaurant is part of a wonderful hotel in an old building, also run by Sybille and Swen and we finished our visit there with a very nice breakfast this morning. An hour later we were back in Frankfurt am Main.

Schön liegt das "Amtshaus" in der sehenswerten Altstadt von Freinsheim, umgeben von der Stadtmauer. Über den Innenhof samt idyllischer Terrasse gelangen Sie in das chic-elegante Restaurant mit seinem von Säulen getragenen weißen Kreuzgewölbe. Küchenchef Swen Bultmann bietet saisonal inspirierte klassisch-französische Gerichte aus sehr guten Produkten. Dazu eine schöne umfangreiche Weinauswahl. Geschmackvolle Gästezimmer hat man ebenfalls - wie im Restaurant fügt sich auch hier moderner Stil toll in den historischen Rahmen ein.

Atable im Amtshaus is a highly praised restaurant for its exceptional French cuisine. Located in the heart of the German Wine Street in Freinsheim, this establishment has not only moved to a beautiful location but also expanded its facilities to include well-appointed hotel rooms. Reviews praise the expertise of Swen, the master chef, and Sybille, the wine expert and patron, highlighting their knowledge in creating a harmonic combination of food and wine. The restaurant has been praised for its competently friendly staff, a well-priced three-course lunch menu, and an excellent a la carte dinner. The mastery in the cooking of Sea Bream is particularly complimented, as is the extensive, reasonably priced wine list. This is a must-visit location for anyone passionate about good food and wine.
