Rossbarth

★ Michelin€€€€regional

Modern, concise and pared-back – the description of the stylish restaurant design could also be applied to the set menu devised by the chef-patron pair Marco Barth and Sebastian Rossbach. When it comes to the ingredients, the focus is on all that the region has to offer, with a particular insistence on organic produce; the saltwater fish they serve is caught in the wild. Their thoughtful creations yield interesting subtle contrasts – for instance, their maple syrup-glazed shiitake mushrooms served on beautifully seasoned braised leeks, and lent a refreshing fruitiness by an apple brunoise.

In his idyllically secluded little restaurant, he draws his inspiration entirely from his natural surroundings, which makes for a unique and exciting set menu. For his seasonal concept he uses the best the market has to offer, forages some items himself in the forest, grows vegetables and herbs in his garden, ferments and pickles. One example featuring a captivating interplay of flavours is the combination of oysters, sauerkraut juice, horseradish cream and parsley oil. The minimalist ethos of his "nature-based cuisine" is reflected in the up
