It's no surprise that this restaurant, run with dedication for over 30 years, is so popular! Diners are won over by both the cosy space that is beautifully done out to exude rustic charm and chef Astrid Hilse's fresh cuisine, which takes the form of a menu that changes on a daily basis. Top-notch produce goes into seasonal dishes with a definite wow factor, such as braised lemon chicken with roasted vegetables and garlic potatoes, or local lamb prepared two ways and served with olive confit and green beans. The service is friendly – and the chef, too, gets in on the act. Attractive tree-shaded

What is it that draws regulars and day trippers here in equal numbers? The richly decorated space is wonderfully rustic and the remarkable collection of farm machinery is well worth seeing.

Three individually decorated double rooms can be booked for overnight stays in the building next door.

The restaurant is part of the picture-perfect Brauereigasthof Hotel Aying is a family-run establishment steeped in tradition and now run by the seventh generation. Diners are treated to warm hospitality in an upscale yet cosy setting. The terrace to the rear of the building is delightful in summer.

In addition to the selection of fine wines, there are of course Ayinger beer
