Located in Stadtpark Mainz and run by the dedicated Barth family, FAVORITE parkhotel is not only a sophisticated place to stay but also has a restaurant that is well worth seeking out. There has been a change in the management of the fine dining restaurant's kitchen. Aniello Casalino showcases his refined Mediterranean touch here, working with fresh, carefully chosen ingredients. Dishes such as open carbonara raviolo with veal sweetbreads, egg yolk cream, Parmesan foam and orange crumble, or cod with baby artichoke, pecorino, fregola and dashi beurre blanc beautifully reflect his style. There is a set menu (also available in a vegetarian version), plus a small à la carte selection. It is also worth nothing that they serve a fairly priced lunch deal, which includes water and espresso. The modern and welcoming decor makes the experience complete. Ask for a table by the window – or dine on the lovely terrace with views of the Rhine and Taunus mountains.
