Die Bruckmühle

You enter this fine dining restaurant either through the side entrance or via the lobby of the luxurious Parkhotel Egerner Höfe, just beyond the elegant bar and decorative glassed-in wine cabinets. The setting is upmarket, slick and modern, with three Japanese holly trees housed in eye-catching glass cubes. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford views onto the grounds and sculptures outside. Traditional French cuisine meets modern innovation in this kitchen, where dishes are expertly crafted with particular emphasis on regional produce. A good example of the harmonious combinations that showcase the

This typical regional inn proposes two separate culinary concepts: The fine dining restaurant is open Fri to Sun evenings, and the more rustic Hirsch & Jägerstüberl is open Wed to Fri from 6pm and Sat to Sun 12-2.30pm and 6-9.30pm. The emphasis is on produce from the region, and the dishes take their cue from the changing seasons. The fine dining restaurant also serves set menus. Attentive service. In summer, tables on the lovely terrace overlooking the garden are much in demand.

Cornelia Fischer, who heads up the kitchen at the fine dining restaurant of the splendid Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt, is by no means a rookie when it comes to running a kitchen. Most recently head chef at Zur Schwane in Volkach, she is now showcasing her contemporary take on classic cuisine here at Überfahrt. Excellent ingredients go into the two four-course set menus, one of which is vegetarian. The fresh, tenderly cooked Breton langoustine with delicious braised fennel and a classic shellfish and orange sauce is one outstanding example.

The fabulous lakeside location and wonderful terrace are certainly part of the appeal here, but this restaurant has plenty more to recommend it. Dedicated chef-patron Alois Neuschmid, who earned a MICHELIN star years ago at Lois, his previous restaurant here in the same town, cooks up a storm for his guests. At lunchtime, the menu features simpler daily specials, such as fried black pudding, pasta or Wiener schnitzel; in the evening, fine dining is the name of the game, with a four-course surprise menu. In the contemporary, seasonally inspired dishes, the main ingredient is often presented in

With its cosy rustic-style interior, charming service and down-to-earth yet flavoursome cuisine centred on freshness, quality produce and sound craftsmanship, this is the archetypal Bavarian inn at its best. The chefs make a point of sourcing their ingredients locally and work with trusted producers. Alongside the standard menu, there is a menu of the day plus a weekly special. Popular grilled veal and pork hock dishes, as well as duck, are also available if ordered in advance. Martin Rank represents the fifth generation of the family to manage this time-honoured establishment. The countryside

This lakeside inn overlooking Tegernsee is picture perfect; in summer, the terrace is nothing short of sensational! The interior is especially inviting, with cosy dining spaces done out in warm wood. The delicious food is inspired by the seasons and often showcases locally sourced ingredients. The menu features regional classics such as roast pork or duck as a speciality, alongside internationally influenced dishes. The charming front-of-house team work well together. This is also a wonderful venue for special occasions. Tip: For overnight stays, there is a gorgeous suite on the top floor.

Two concepts under one roof. Menue is the cosy, modern little locale serving a six-course set menu that changes monthly, plus finger food to start and petits fours to finish. The delicious food is creative and ingredient-led – seasonal produce and a penchant for regional ingredients. You can also plump for the "sharing" format of the set menu. Service is friendly and attentive – the chef, too, serves up dishes himself. The second eatery is the Bistro, which delivers a slightly simpler culinary offering.
