Michelin Guide honours Kevin Fehling with three stars
"La Belle Epoque"at COLUMBIA Hotel Casino Travemünde achieves the highest gastronomic rating for the first time
(firmenpresse) - The gourmet restaurant La Belle Epoque at COLUMBIA Hotel Casino Travemünde led by executive chef Kevin Fehling has received the third star in the Michelin Guide as the first and only restaurant in Schleswig-Holstein.
Kevin Fehling, who is only 35 years old, crowns a remarkable career in the world of sophisticated gastronomy with this award. After his years of apprenticeship and travel, which he spent with Harald Wohlfahrt in Baiersbronn and as executive chef of the world-famous cruise ship MS Europe, amongst other things, he took over the position of Chef de Cuisine at La Belle Epoque restaurant in Travemünde at the end of 2005 at age 28. The Michelin Guide admitted Fehling into the ranks of star-rated chefs as early as 2008. Three years later the testers already awarded him the second star. Kevin Fehling - the "avant-garde Northern Light" - received the coveted third star for the first time at the official presentation of the Germany edition of the 2013 Michelin Guide.
As a result, Fehling has become the German shooting star among chefs, says the Michelin Guide editorial staff, adding: "He was able to convince the inspectors with impressive know-how. His absolutely harmonious compositions are evidence of intelligence and maturity in the combination of aromas, combined with a distinctive personal touch."
The Michelin Guide thereby ranks Kevin Fehling among the 10 best chefs in Germany, and as a consequence he is among the 100 best chefs worldwide. Fehling, born in Delmenhorst, is the first chef to receive this rating in the federal state and holiday region Schleswig-Holstein. Never before have three stars shone above a restaurant between the North Sea and Baltic Sea.
Fehling is aware of the distinctiveness of this award: "Of course, I have always pursued this goal. Once you have arrived in the league of star-rated chefs, naturally you want to be better, make the most of creativity and always keep the satisfaction of guests in mind. I am extremely proud of my team in the kitchen. With my congenial ambassador in the service department, sommelier David Eitel and his team, the work is not only successful, but is also a source of tremendous enjoyment."
Directors Ralph and Katrin Hosbein are among Kevin Fehling"s promoters. The collaboration began as early as 2005. The two directors recognised Fehling"s string and consistent manner as well as his manual and creative potential at a very early stage. "The pleasure is immense. It is unbelievable that we are able to celebrate such successes together with Kevin in such a short time. The third star which he has earned by cooking with his team is unique in our region and an important magnet for the future. Fehling is the person who brought the third star to Schleswig-Holstein and redesigned the gastronomic map", says director and mentor Ralph Hosbein.
According to the Michelin Guides definitions, the restaurant named La Belle Epoque with a wonderful panoramic view of the Bay of Lübeck has earned three stars and is "one of the best kitchens" and now also officially "worth a journey".
