The location on the promenade is fabulous – in summer, tables on the terrace overlooking Egerner Bucht (Egern Bay) are in great demand! But you can also take in the vista from indoors – the window seats in this cosy modern restaurant are popular, too. The kitchen draws its inspiration from Euro-Asian cuisine.
