• Intense★★ Michelin In the centre of Wachenheim, opposite the church, Kirche St Georg, Bettina and Benjamin Peifer present their exciting concept! After welcome drinks and appetisers in Gud Stubb (the former vicarage), you are introduced to their culinary philosophy in the pantry; you then take a seat in the minimalist, urban-style restaurant area, either at the counter with a direct view into the kitchen – a special experience – or at one of the small tables or in a koshitsu (a separate nook). A special fusion of the cuisines of the Palatinate and Japan is served. Think "izakaya- style" pigeon: juicy, grilled pi3.1km

• Schwarzer Hahn★ Michelin n institution with a long tradition and a reputation that extends beyond the region for good reason. Here at Hotel Deidesheimer Hof, the dedication of the Hahn family is plain to see, including when it comes to the restaurant. In this beautiful historical building, the contrast between the old cross vault and the modern table settings and colourful decor is spot on. Prepared using select produce, the dishes can be ordered as a set menu or à la carte. It goes without saying that they have the regional classic Saumagen (stuffed pig's stomach) on the menu. Stefan Neugebauer and Felix Jarzina are 6.5km
• Schwarz Gourmet★ Michelin The Schwarz family has been running its two restaurants in this pretty red-sandstone building since 2017. One is the chic Schwarz Gourmet, where the chef – who is no stranger to the fine dining scene – proposes a set menu (four to six courses) in which he likes to combine international ingredients with others from the local region. One standout dish brings together a slice of delightfully soft braised Duroc pork belly infused with deep roasted notes, a super-fresh and perfectly seared Breton scallop, and a crisp, fresh salad of diced radish and apple. A rich reduced teriyaki sauce with bold se8.1km
• Gasthaus zur KanneBib "The oldest inn in the Palatinate" has been around since 1160 – as it says on the façade.

The restaurant is divided into different rooms, which creates a certain intimacy. Historical and modern details have been successfully combined, including eye-catching features such as wonderful old tiled stoves and a brick fountain. Regional cuisine with international influences is served in the form of a lovely, seasonal à6.5km

• WEINreich A modern take on the traditional wine tavern in a tranquil little village.
