On a trip to Lower Saxony, you can read full review here, we stayed at the Ritz Carlton in Wolfsburg where Aqua restaurant is located. It’s completely accessible with disabled facilities within the hotel.

Fully Accessible Aqua, Good Acoustics, Lighting & Facilities

The staff at the hotel couldn’t do enough for us and the service was friendly and impeccable without being over-intrusive. This was also true of their 3 Star Michelin restaurant Aqua, where we were treated to the tasting menu. At this point I should say we weren’t sure if the alcohol was included in the prize trip so we were slightly apprehensive as vintage champagne and wines appeared at every course but as the Lieutenant said after the second glass ‘no going back now’. The menu by chef Sven Elverfeld consisted of :

Snacks.

Caramelized Kalamata olive & Green olive, caper & smoked almond

Vitello Tonnato “Tartar”

Our burger – roasted beef cheeks & mountain cheese

Gillardeau oyster, artichoke & argan oil

Pralines

We Were Offered Pralines/Petits Fours From A Trolley. There Were So Many To Choose From But By This Stage I Was Too Full To Try Them All. Luckily You Could Buy To ‘Take Away’.

Afterwards it was straight to bed as we’d consumed at least five different wines and champagnes, I felt like Monty Python’s Mr. Creosote and just couldn’t eat another ‘petit morceau’!

The Michelin Guide says of Aqua

‘Sven Elverfeld has secured his place at the very top of the German culinary world. The modern, creative notes forming an integral part of his expressive and fully flavoured dishes and never seeking to dazzle or dissemble. The elegant service is also beyond reproach.’

We couldn’t agree more as it was one of the most interesting (and tasty) menus we’d eaten in a long time and the wines were superb. I particularly liked the champagnes from lesser known vineyards.

Aqua gets a well deserved maximum 3 BBS Ticks.
