Thomas Martin

The excellent reputation enjoyed by Jacob’s restaurant is entirely attributable to Chef de Cuisine Thomas Martin, master of contemporary, light, cooking with a French twist. This perfectionist is well-known for his creativity in inventing new recipes and equally for his accuracy in their preparation. Straightforward, unpretentious, creative dishes made from fresh, seasonal produce – this is how the exquisite dishes are prepared in the lavish, well-equipped kitchens of Jacobs Restaurant.
Compliments from our guests and the flow of accolades are abundant: Thomas Martin’s cuisine has been crowned by 18 out of 20 points in the Gault Millau, 4.5 out of 5 wooden spoons in the Aral Schlemmer Atlas, 5 stars in the Varta guide, 4 out of 5 chef’s hats in the Bertelsmann Restaurant & Hotel Guide, as well as a coveted Michelin star. In 2008  he competed against five top chefs from northern Germany and won the Great Gourmet Prize of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein for the fifth time in as many years.
