Frommer's Review

In a house that dates back to 1852, Rozenhof has been delivering the same understated menu since 1984, unfazed by passing fads and the mushrooming of competition. The food is good, the service intelligent (waiters have usually served at Rozenhof for some time), and the ambience warm and relaxing. Diners are seated in one of three rooms, ensuring an intimate experience even when the restaurant is full. Many of the dishes have remained unchanged since the restaurant opened; the cheese soufflé starter with herb-and-mustard cream is a must, as is one of the line-fish preparations -- try it almond-crusted on leeks and braised in citrus butter. The crispy roast duck is also an old favorite, glazed with mandarin and ginger and served with a warm orange vinaigrette. The restaurant has an extensive, well-chosen wine list.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
