About the restaurant
Directly opposite the Dortmunder U, we have been serving modern Alpine cuisine since 2017, with a strong focus on product quality and craftsmanship.

We make everything ourselves, including stocks, sauces, bread, and ice cream, and we guarantee that we do not use any flavor enhancers. Fish and meat come from local dealers and producers, and we naturally attach great importance to welfare, freshness, and quality.

In addition to Swabian classics, our menu also features dishes inspired by the cuisine of the wider Alpine region. Our monthly changing 3 or 4-course menu is a particular expression of our creativity. We have received several awards from Feinschmecker magazine for our work and are also featured in the Schlemmeratlas guide.

We are a restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, and we treat our guests accordingly, focusing on interaction on an equal level. Hospitality is our passion, and we live it.

About the restaurant
With great attention to detail, star chef Christian Sturm-Willms combines Japanese elements with those of modern Mediterranean cuisine. Its balanced combination of different flavors makes its dishes a taste experience. The critic Gault Millau describes the dishes of Christian Sturm-Willms like a Japanese ink drawing, "which creates whole landscapes through a few clever brushstrokes.” The YUNICO has one of the most extensive sake selections in Germany as well as fine wines that complete the offer perfectly. The menu has 3-6-course meals on offer or you may dine à la carte.

With a new interior design and the large rooftop terrace overlooking the Rhine valley, the YUNICO offers an exclusive ambiance. For Christian Sturm-Willms and the restaurant manager Melanie Hetzel their work is their hobby and that's what makes every visit to the YUNICO a very special experience.

Far and above the best restaurant we have experienced in the Münster area. Our absolute favorite place for special occasions. We've now been 4 or 5 times, each time it has been amazing. Feels like being teleported to a really nice place in Japan - the menu is exactly how it needs to be: relatively "simple" dishes that shine with great ingredients and flawless execution.

About the restaurant
Mitten im Grünen, umgeben von Natur und Ruhe, liegt die Rausmühle – ein Ort zum Ankommen, Durchatmen und Genießen. In unserem Restaurant verbinden wir herzliche Gastfreundschaft mit einer Küche, die modern denkt und zugleich regional verwurzelt bleibt.
Wir kochen saisonal, mit hochwertigen Produkten und viel Liebe zum Detail: klar komponierte Gerichte, fein abgestimmte Aromen und eine elegante, aber unaufgeregte Handschrift. Dabei steht stets im Mittelpunkt, was uns wichtig ist: ehrliches Essen, ein schönes Miteinander und Momente, die in Erinnerung bleiben.
Ob ein besonderer Abend zu zweit, ein Essen mit Freunden oder ein entspannter Nachmittag im Grünen – wir freuen uns darauf, euch bei uns willkommen zu heißen.
