Landgasthaus Klosterhof

In the centre of Wachenheim, opposite the church, Kirche St Georg, Bettina and Benjamin Peifer present their exciting concept!

The Hegmanns run this genuinely charming restaurant that is a hit with diners. Only the best produce makes its way into the dishes, which are meticulously prepared to bring out the full flavour of the ingredients. On Fri-Sun, two four- to eight-course seasonal set menus, one of which is vegetarian, are served. On Mon, tapas menu only – to be washed down with something from the promising wine selection. Extremely friendly waitstaff. Tip: The chef's table is very close to the kitchen but sheltered from the thick of the action.

A lovely restaurant in the Old Town: the welcoming, sleek and modern setting is bound to appeal, and the atmosphere is pleasantly intimate, the service is attentive and well trained.

The terrace in front of the house is also a pleasant place to sit.
