CONCEPT

Harz x Alps

Both regions share the same culinary philosophy: nature, provenance, seasonal ingredients, craftsmanship, and the highest product quality take center stage.
This allows the ingredients and traditions of both regions to be authentically combined without compromising their respective identities. The connection between the Harz and the Alpine region does not feel contrived, but rather natural. Both landscapes are characterized by a cuisine that draws inspiration from its surroundings, emphasizes high-quality regional products, and combines tradition with modern culinary art. This results in a culinary style that is authentic, sustainable, and exciting all at once.


Eric Jadischke

A Profile of the Head Chef

Whenever time allows, Eric Jadischke roams the Harz Forest, gathering herbs, berries, and mushrooms depending on the season. He has also planted a large herb bed with all kinds of herbs in the Schindelbruch garden. In the past, herbs were the only remedies people had to treat illnesses, and they were successful in doing so. Today, herbs mainly enrich our cuisine. It therefore stands to reason that herbs in the kitchen have a noticeable impact on our well-being. For years, Eric Jadischke has been exploring herbs and wild plants—their aromatic and health-promoting properties—and incorporates them as defining elements of his creative cuisine. In this way, he creates artistic and flavorful dishes that center on the aesthetic presentation of wild herbs and plants. 

Eric Jadischke isn’t influenced by trends when he cooks, nor has he gained experience in renowned three-star restaurants. Instead, he relies solely on his own sense of taste: “I want to cook the way I myself like to eat.” For Eric Jadischke, cooking is less an art than a delicate craft. With this in mind, he has ambitiously perfected his skills, lending a hand in exceptional kitchens abroad during his vacations and picking up a trick or two along the way.

At Restaurant Silberstreif, the Harz region is more than just a place of origin. It is the foundation of our culinary signature. Regional products from the Southern Harz and its surrounding areas are at the heart of every menu. They give our dishes their identity and tell the story of their origins. Building on this foundation, we turn our attention to a different culinary region of Europe each quarter.
