German term or phrase: Umsetzung der Speisen
Hotel Sacher Wien: 5 Restaurants, 4 Küchenchefs und 7 Gault Millau Hauben

Im mit zwei Hauben ausgezeichneten Restaurant "Anna Sacher" in Wien beeindruckte die Tester des Gault Millau vor allem die ausgesprochen moderne, zum Teil sogar gewagte ***Umsetzung der Speisen***. Begeistert zeigten sich die Gault Millau Kritiker von der visuellen Umsetzung bei der Kombination von zartem Welsfilet, Morcheln, Heurigen und Holundercreme, die nicht weniger bezaubernd aussah als das Duo von Kalbsfleisch (geschmort und als Tartar) mit Topfensouflé und Kakao.

Ebenso beeindruckend die harmonischen sowie gleichzeitig kontrastreichen Zwischengänge, wie zum Beispiel Kaninchen mit Hummerkrautfleckerl und Liebstöckel. Die überzeugte Conclusio des Gault Millau: "…in punkto Patisserie ist man im "Anna Sacher" sowieso im siebten Himmel …"

interchange of dishes


Explanation:
Without pictures of the dishes I can't say this is right, so I guess. Big portions of meat and small portions of potatoes and vegetables maybe.

  -> The beef with the vegetables, as you sometimes see in France and Germany: a lot of beef and little or nothing like potatoes and vegetables. Even in Amsterdam they know how spoil a good meal.

neutral  Thomas Pfann: Not sure about "art of dish preparation", but I like "preparation". I think that's what "Umsetzung" is all about.

  -> Well, with 2 Hauben, gotta be a bit posh...!
neutral  David Moore (X): I'm afraid this sounds too 'art-ificial' to me...
1 hr
  -> Well, you go there to dine, not to eat...
neutral  Yorkshireman: Preparation is what happens in the kitchen. Gault-Millau judge things secretively, at the table. Sneaky b---ers!

To get back to my initial alternative of "creative presentation"

Adventurously composed...
Innovatively presented...
Courageous masterpieces of contemporary food design...

agree  David Moore (X): Maybe 'creative presentation'?//As you say, it could well be either - they both say both anyway. I think it's largely up to the taste (sorry!) of the poster...//How about 'imaginative presentation'?
28 mins
  -> Thanks, David - could well be both, what do you think? We have "visuellen Umsetzung" and "harmonischen sowie gleichzeitig kontrastreichen Zwischengänge", which could be more about flavours. Sounds good, too!
agree  Thomas Pfann: Im Zweifel könnte man m.E. die „Umsetzung“ auch unter den Esstisch fallen lassen und einfach von „creative/modern/adventurous dishes“ sprechen. („creative, at times even adventurous“?)
3 hrs
  -> Thanks Thomas
neutral  Helen Shiner: Sounds a bit like a magic trick. Using realisation like this is always so tempting with GER, but it is just not really what we say in EN./David's suggestion of presentation, with or without, creative is more normal./Bear in mind 'gewagt' is the adjective.
6 hrs
  -> My suggestion and David's
agree  British Diana: Helen is right, but the German is equally pretentious
