Michelin-star chef Sven Nöthel from MOD Duisburg visiting Adelfas

Sven & Jens, together with their wonderful team, will cook an exclusive 6-course menu for you.

Sven Nöthel is a renowned German Michelin-star chef, primarily known for his work in Duisburg. He is considered one of Germany's most talented young chefs and received his first Michelin star at the age of 27.

His current restaurant is located in a former cowshed in the Baerl district of Duisburg. The location combines modern industrial culture with a strong regional connection to nature. The restaurant is awarded one star in the Michelin Guide.

In addition to his gourmet concept, he operates another location in Duisburg called "Freya." There, he focuses on more down-to-earth cuisine and regularly hosts events. A well-known example is the "Bütterken vom Sternekoch" (Star Chef's Sandwich), which presents high-quality cuisine in an uncomplicated setting.

His culinary style is based on a clear philosophy: regionality and seasonality are at the heart of everything. Nöthel prefers to use products from the Rhine region and combines them into honest, authentic dishes with modern contrasts.

Following the motto "nothing ventured, nothing gained," I reached out to Stefan again and asked if he’d like to cook with us – and to my great surprise, he agreed immediately. I was thrilled!

I am all the more excited for this evening, which will certainly bring some specialties from our shared homeland to the table – paired with exciting stories from his extraordinary career.
