With a focus on the highest product quality, aromatic depth, and precise balance, Dennis Kuckuck is leading the two-star restaurant at the Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg into a new culinary era. In June 2026, he and the team defended the two stars, confirming that the Vendôme continues on its path with clarity, consistency and great passion.
His cuisine combines classic French techniques with a contemporary sense of lightness. At its core is always the ingredient itself—presented in its purest form, delicately composed, and enhanced by subtle contrasts of acidity and freshness. The result is a culinary experience that is at once clear, elegant, and remarkably profound.
His menus follow a carefully crafted progression, bringing together technical precision and creative sophistication. Supported by a highly experienced team, Vendôme offers a holistic dining experience at the highest level, maintaining its position as one of the leading destinations in Germany’s fine-dining scene.
