At 6:30pm, a golf cart picks you up from the car park and ferries you across the grounds of a former coking plant to dinner. The basement of an old gas storage tank, dressed in black and gold for the coal reference the name carries, holds a one-Michelin-star tasting menu built around a modern, creative read on Ruhr Valley cooking. The chefs plate and serve everything themselves, which makes the five-course meal feel more like a conversation than a performance.
