Restaurant Die Mühlenhelle

Gourmet restaurant Die Mühlenhelle is housed in a characteristic 18th-century farmhouse. Since 2007, this fine-dining spot has been in the hands of chef Michael Quendler and his wife Birgitta. Chef Michael and his kitchen team present modern European cuisine that’s refreshingly uncomplicated and straightforward. The chef exactly knows how to blend his Austrian roots with his Sylter experience. This results in his contemporary German cooking style, complemented by French haute cuisine accents. It’s a culinary combination that hasn’t gone unnoticed by the critics: hotel restaurant Die Mühlenhelle has been honoured with one Michelin star, two hoods, and 15 out of 20 points from Gault Millau.
