Gasthaus Jakob

★ Michelin€€€€Classic Cuisine, Modern Cuisine

You'll need to look up the way to this old country inn located in the middle of the Bavarian Forest. But it's well worth heading off the beaten path for the excellent food, which takes the form of two set menus, dubbed "Classic" and "Inspiration". Chef-patron Michael Klaus Ammon showcases precise craftsmanship, bold flavours and a knack for balancing aromas and textures in dishes such as his variations on duck liver – consisting of fried liver, terrine and ice cream – with the fruity kick of pineapple, dark chocolate and toasted brioche with truffle. The refined interior done out in plenty of

This small restaurant may be a little off the beaten track, but it's well worth coming here for the regional cuisine. Quality ingredients are skilfully prepared to impart plenty of flavour.

TripAdvisor review sample · 3.5/5 · 80 reviews

Located within the Pilsner Brewery, Na Spilce serves traditional Czech cuisine and fresh draft beer. Food quality is generally praised, with dishes described as delicious and the beer, particularly the unfiltered Urquell, highly rated. Service experiences vary significantly; while some find staff friendly and efficient, others report rudeness and operational issues. The ambiance features a spacious, windowless basement that feels modern yet sterile, lacking the cozy charm of a traditional cellar. It is suitable for travelers seeking authentic local beer and hearty meals, though visitors should manage expectations regarding the minimalist atmosphere and inconsistent service.

Ideal for beer enthusiasts visiting the brewery, but maintain realistic expectations regarding service consistency and the sterile basement atmosphere.
