Restaurant L.A. Jordan

Our L.A. Jordan** is the right place for those who value a pleasant, elegant atmosphere in the restaurant just as much as exceptional gourmet cuisine. A seat in our classic restaurant or in the winter garden with its colorful designer wall lets you arrive and sit back and relax.
There are no stiff conventions and outdated rituals here, we are rather unagitated and concentrate on unquestionable quality – in the kitchen and service.
While Executive Chef Daniel Schimkowitsch spoils you with a menu of top-class fish, shellfish and meat, you can feel as if you are visiting friends.
This is how an evening at L.A. Jordan** – the first 2-star restaurant on the Wine Route – goes!

The L.A. Jordan team is happy to accept reservations for 5 or more people in person.
Please send an e-mail to restaurant@ketschauer-hof.com

L.A. Jordan Lounge

You have to see it! The L.A. Jordan presents itself in a new look with its lounge**

Instead of a table for two or four in the restaurant or conservatory, the long table in the lounge with elegant bar stools on each side offers its own advantages.

Take a seat at our table and enjoy a casual, communicative evening together with other gourmets and plenty of good, evening-long conversation.

Team

Since Daniel Schimkowitsch opened his restaurant L.A. Jordan in 2014, his creative culinary forge has been THE figurehead in the region for new, dynamic, young gourmet cuisine.
Awards such as 4 red toques from Gault Millau and
9.5 pans from Gusto have long adorned the restaurant’s door.
But that’s not all: in spring 2023, the charismatic Munich native was awarded his second Michelin star.

Head Sommelier Stephan Nitzsche

The man in his late thirties, who grew up just outside Frankfurt, can look back on a picture-book gastronomic career: Residenz Heinz Winkler | Aschau, Red Bull Hangar 7 | Salzburg, La Mer | Sylt, Einstein | St. Gallen, Sansibar | Sylt.

After almost 4 years as wine manager at Sansibar, he left the north behind in 2021 and has been advising guests at the L.A. Jordan restaurant as head sommelier ever since.
And that’s not the only place he leaves his fingerprint! On top of this, he is responsible for all the wine lists of the gastronomic outlets belonging to the GmbH, namely the restaurants 1718, Riva and Sushi B.

His personality is definitely a great asset to the L.A. Jordan restaurant! He modestly accepts personal awards as “Top 50 Sommelier” in 2022 and 2023, always striving to further advance the gourmet restaurant in the overall ensemble of the GmbH.

Stepahn Nitzsche

Stephan Nitzsche

Head Sommelier

…joined the L.A. Jordan team in 2021 and since then has also been responsible for the overall development of the wine lists in all restaurants belonging to  Ketschauer Hof GmbH.

He prefers to spend his days off with his family. His three girls let him switch off quickly. Otherwise, the passionate Eintracht fan can also be found in the Frankfurt soccer stadium, olé olé!

I am not satisfied with "good". I don't want to stop getting even better.

Pascal Bohrer

Sommelier

…has been part of the L.A. Jordan team since July 2024. He sees Stephan Nitzsche as a mentor who will help him in his personal development and is already looking forward to further fine-tuning his own work and creations.

He moved to the Palatinate with his partner for his job and would like to find a new home here with her.
In his free time, he enjoys downhill riding and barbecuing in the garden.

L.A. Jordan with its good reputation was recommended to me. I can develop and grow in my job here. And you can live well in the beautiful Palatinate and with the open Palatinate people anyway!

Yannick Öffler

Yannick Öffler

deputy. Restaurant manager

…has been back at Ketschauer Hof GmbH since July 2023, now as deputy restaurant manager in the L.A. Jordan restaurant. He knows the hotel well, having been Restaurant & Banquet Manager at Restaurant 1718 from 2016 to 2018.

In his free time, the sports enthusiast follows Eintracht soccer matches, preferably on site together with the head sommelier.

I always wanted to be one of the best!

Lena Reichle

Lena Reichle

Service

…has been part of the team since 2019 and is affectionately known as “temp number 1”. Why? Because she is reliable and always on hand when there’s a fire!
In addition to her work as a firefighter in the service, she studies Travel & Tourism Management full-time.

And when she’s not being called out on duty, the sociable whisk loves to be out and about with friends.

In vino veritas.

Kitchen

Daniel Schimkowitsch

Daniel Schimkowitsch

Chef

…has been loyal to his L.A. Jordan and
Ketschauer Hof GmbH since 2014. Values such as quality, success and humility define his work and activities. 

Whether for work or leisure, he needs speed – full throttle on the pots and behind the wheel.

I am immensely proud of my entire team! In 2023 a dream has come true: we are the first restaurant on the Wine Route with 2 stars!

Patrick Mairold

Patrick Mairold

Junior Sous Chef

…the Styrian was already part of the kitchen team in 2021. After a brief excursion to Switzerland, he returned to Schimkowitsch in 2022 and joined him on his way to the second star.
He is the poissonier of the kitchen, i.e. the professional when it comes to fish and seafood. Also the right hand (and occasionally the left hand) of the head chef and therefore deeply involved in the development of new recipes.

He clears his head in the fresh air, preferably by fishing (where else if you have a soft spot for fish).

The L.A. Jordan kitchen is outstanding in my eyes. A variety of products and high-end quality that is rarely found in Germany. I appreciate our team spirit of wanting to develop ourselves further - constantly.

Christian Koch

Chef de Partie

…has been part of the team since August 2024 and is responsible for the cold kitchen as a Gardemanger. At L.A. Jordan, she is responsible for the starters, i.e. all the starters and the butter.

When he’s not cooking, he likes to be out and about with friends, rebuilding the garden or riding his MTB.

I've been following L.A. Jordan and its rapid development for some time now. I like the minimalist aesthetic on the plate!

Marco Tardt

Marco Tardt

Dishwasher

As the team’s head dishwasher, he is not afraid of mountains of porcelain or dishes. A “veteran”, with the company since 2012, and Daniel Schimkowitsch knows that he can rely on him. Every evening.

In addition to the L.A. Jordan, his heart beats for fast roller coasters.

I've been here for a long time, I like being here. There is no reason for me to question that.

Gisela Wollek

Gisela Wollek

Cleaning pearl

…has been part of the GmbH since 2011 and is responsible for order and cleanliness in the L.A. Jordan restaurant. Since then, her “men” have been unable to imagine the kitchen without her, and they all agree: “Only our Gisela is able to wash our aprons so brilliantly white and iron them so neatly. She is a pearl!”

I like the Jordan chefs and they like me! I prepare everything spick and span during the day so that the team can get started in the evening!
