The story
Daniels am Markt sits on the Marktplatz in the small town of Kusel. It is run by the Bößhar family – Daniel, Ulrike, and Max – who have created a place that is both welcoming and refined. "Bei uns darf es gerne etwas gediegener zugehen," they say, meaning that a certain elegance is part of the experience, but without any stiffness. The dining room is a space for relaxed, attentive meals.
The kitchen draws on the full variety of the seasons, turning fresh produce into creative modern dishes. The menu changes regularly, always reflecting what is best at the moment. The cooking is driven by a desire to surprise and satisfy, offering both variety and precision. Ulrike Bößhar curates the wine list – "Ulis besten Tropfen" – selecting bottles that complement each course perfectly. Together, the food and wine create a true culinary experience.
In 2026, the Michelin guide awarded Daniels am Markt a Recommended status. This recognition highlights the restaurant's consistent quality, its seasonal approach, and the creativity of its kitchen. It is a fitting acknowledgment for a family-run establishment that puts thought and care into every plate.
When weather permits, guests can dine outside on the market square, enjoying the same refined cuisine in an al fresco setting that is a bit more casual but no less enjoyable.
