The Mine

Setting up a restaurant in the most beautiful mine in the world is quite something. Because of its combination of architecture and culinary excellence, the Casino Zollverein has been acclaimed one of the most unmissable restaurants in the country since October 1996. A place full of opposites in a compressor hall with 6 metre high concrete pillars and a modern interior. Bar area, restaurant and lounge combine to form an aesthetically unique overall picture. Whilst the wine list is basically focussed on quality, the New World cuisine offers a varied, modern range of dishes with international influences. On the other hand it does also serve traditional miners' dishes, uses seasonal produce and only fresh ingredients.
