Hotel VIVO

This townhouse in the heart of Regensburg has a long history behind it. It was an inn for centuries, with the earliest written record of it dating back to the 13C. Maximilian Schmidt now represents the third generation of the family to take the helm. In a pleasingly informal atmosphere, they serve up modern cuisine shaped by international influences, embracing a "casual dining" approach. The menu includes appealing dishes such as "ox cheek, shiitake, pak choi, sweetcorn cream, kampot pepper" and "pike-perch from Marco, yuzu kosho beurre blanc, Swiss chard, potato". There are also steaks and ve

It's not just the name that's Swedish (storstad, meaning "big city", is a reference to the head chef's time in Stockholm); Nordic accents can also be detected in the design of the urban-chic restaurant on the fifth floor of the Turmtheater. Up here in the historical Goliath House, you can also make the most of the wonderful terrace with its views of the cathedral. Chef-patron Anton Schmaus can depend on his dedicated and talented kitchen team. Under the direction of head chef Josef Weig, the two set menus – one conventional and one vegetarian – each comprise five to seven courses, with a three

Two restaurants with Swedish names under one roof. In contrast to the original restaurant (Storstad), Aska is a compact sushi restaurant with a decidedly personal touch. The name translates as "ash", and the interior is accordingly dark in hue. Diners sit at the counter or one of the few booth tables to enjoy authentic sushi served just the way it is in Japan. You can choose between an eight- or 10-course set menu – with the option of additional courses. Having learned his craft in his hometown of Osaka, sushi master Atsushi Sugimoto now transforms premium ingredients into the best classic sus

The intriguing international menu features flavoursome options including "Sticky's Breakfast, Imperial Caviar, vodka shot" or "flamed salmon, ponzu, sushi rice, spicy radish, ginger". Alternatively, you could opt for the three-course "Sticky Styled" surprise menu – for the whole table – with dessert available as an optional extra. Friendly service. As well as wines, there is an extensive selectio

An elegant affair: clean lines, lovely natural materials and a palette of pale, warm tones make for a modern yet cosy atmosphere in the fine dining restaurant of the century-old Gasthaus Hummel. On entering the restaurant you can sneak a peek into the kitchen, where a seasonal five-course menu is put together under the supervision of chef-patron Stefan Hummel. Whenever possible, select ingredients for the very precisely prepared dishes are sourced from the region. You can look forward to finesse and an abundance of flavour – and great value for money. The dedication of the Hummel family is als

Here, you can really switch off and focus on enjoying yourself and soaking up the atmosphere, because no mobile phone signals can penetrate the thick walls of this 16C manor. The estate has been in the family since 1882, and chef Mathias Achatz represents the fifth generation at the helm. His dishes draw on modern and classical influences; sometimes complex, sometimes more pared down, they always involve extremely accurate craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients. In an inviting, traditional-looking setting, you are treated to charming and attentive service – this is the domain of the chef's

Run with great dedication, this restaurant is located by a small stream – tables on the terrace overlooking the water are in great demand!
