fortress
A stunning historic castle, now fully renovated into a hotel and spa, provides a sumptuous setting for this charmingly run restaurant. Diners are spread across a series of vaulted brick rooms with a romantic feel, where they can enjoy a menu mixing modern dishes with the resolutely traditional. Uniting them is a focus on bold, distinct flavours in dishes that are simple yet skilful, be that red beetroot soup with dumplings or braised wild boar neck with roast pumpkin.
WebsiteHidden away among the Owl Mountains, you’ll find this rural oasis on a former farm. The eye-catching dining room has a slightly glitzy feel, with chandeliers and large candlelit tables. The cooking packs in plenty of flavour and shows off the kitchen’s technical skill with dishes like loin of veal with a meaty, multi-layered sauce. The service team are eager to please and, if you want to stay overnight, there are cosy bedrooms and even lodges in the grounds.
