The Buddenbrook Menu

(only bookable by a party of 10 or more with reservation in advance)

Feel yourself being taken back into the times of the Buddenbrooks and enjoy one of the Klassik Altstadt Hotels all-time favourites: the Buddenbrookmenu with its famous national desert “Plettenpudding”. Experience and taste the meal that the noble prize winner and Lübeck native Thomas Mann describes in his novel “Buddenbrooks”. For an authentic cultural touch, we can arrange a dramatic reading from the novel. The reader will choose passages from the Buddenbrooks that correspond to your menu.

The Buddenbrookmenu consists of the following 4 courses:

A warm herb broth with roasted bread

***

Small rolls of fillets of regional sole fish, lobster and mushroom sauce, serving two colours with rice.

***

Old-Lübecker style ham glazed with mustard sugar, a sweet and sour shallot sauce, a generously filled vegetable bowl and roast potatoes

***

Plettenpudding (similar to English-trifle but with more sherry)
