Wirtshaus Meyers Keller

★ Michelin€€€Farm to table, Country cooking

This place is something special. Joachim (also known as Jockl) Kaiser and his wife are the third generation to run this appealingly rustic and trendy restaurant. The kitchen concept is intriguing: In addition to the regular Wirtshauskarte, with a selection that balances hearty traditional fare and more ambitious dishes – mouthwatering options include lamb lights or skrei with fennel and white wine sauce – they propose a seasonal set menu consisting of a "starter", "centrepiece" and "finale". A nice idea: You are free to choose one or more of the "centrepiece" dishes – which include a vegetaria

The experience and ideas of two generations are brought together in the Wolf family establishment. This is also true of the food in this restaurant, which has held a MICHELIN star since 1997.

A standout example is the pan-seared half lobster tail on a Jerusalem artichoke and tomato ragout, accompanied by a wonderfully robust lobster bisque, which showcases select ingredients, delicate aromatics and intense flavour.
