About the restaurant
With great attention to detail, star chef Christian Sturm-Willms combines Japanese elements with those of modern Mediterranean cuisine. Its balanced combination of different flavors makes its dishes a taste experience. The critic Gault Millau describes the dishes of Christian Sturm-Willms like a Japanese ink drawing, "which creates whole landscapes through a few clever brushstrokes.” The YUNICO has one of the most extensive sake selections in Germany as well as fine wines that complete the offer perfectly. The menu has 3-6-course meals on offer or you may dine à la carte.

With a new interior design and the large rooftop terrace overlooking the Rhine valley, the YUNICO offers an exclusive ambiance. For Christian Sturm-Willms and the restaurant manager Melanie Hetzel their work is their hobby and that's what makes every visit to the YUNICO a very special experience.

About the restaurant
... es sind doch vor allem lebhafte Gespräche,
ausgelassenes Gelächter und rege Diskussionen,
die einem gelungenen Abend seine Würze verleihen.
Deshalb steht im charlie nicht nur das Essen,
sondern vielmehr das Erlebnis an erster Stelle.
Das charlie ist mehr als nur ein Restaurant.
Es ist ein Ort, an dem Menschen sich treffen,
um gute Gesellschaft zu genießen und außer
gewöhnliche Köstlichkeiten zu entdecken...
