Gasthof Widmann specializes in seasonal international cuisine, with many guests praising the excellent food quality, beautiful presentation, and perfect taste of its 6-to-7-course menus. Service is generally friendly and professional, though isolated incidents of rude or slow staff have negatively impacted some experiences. Ambiance receives mixed reviews; while some find it cozy and pleasant, others note a lack of tablecloths and floral decorations, feeling the atmosphere falls short. The overall value for money is considered reasonable. This restaurant suits travelers seeking high-quality culinary experiences, but those prioritizing consistent service and refined decor may want to manage expectations.
Ideal for food-focused diners; verify service arrangements in advance.

Not only does this place promise good food, but the setting is also inviting: the restaurant is located in a lovely winegrower's house (named after the vineyards below). Built in 1542, it stands directly on the historical estate of Schloss Leitheim. Season-driven cuisine is served in a lovely, cosy interior. On Sundays and Mondays there is a more limited offering in the form of the Azubi-Menü devised by the trainee chefs. Tip: The wine list includes a number of South African vintages. Should you wish to stay overnight, the Schloss Leitheim hotel has inviting guestrooms.

€€Bavarian, Seasonal Cuisine
This is how you imagine a historical Bavarian restaurant: wooden beams on the ceiling, floorboards, tiled stove – rustic, inviting and wonderfully cosy (or "zünftig" as they say in these parts). There is also a wonderful terrace. The cuisine is classic, regional and seasonal – served à la carte or in three set menus, one of which is vegetarian. There is a good selection of wines to choose from. Tip: well-priced lunch menu with two or three courses (Tues. to Fri., except public holidays). You can also visit the Baroque Münster Heilig Kreuz in Bergen.

This delightfully chic and modern restaurant is to be found at the foot of the hill on which Andechs's famous abbey stands. The Holzinger family used to run a farm here, but nowadays they welcome diners with warmth and dedication. While the father handles the service, the son runs the kitchen with his mother's assistance, preparing delicious dishes using fresh ingredients and drawing on regional and international influences. Think sous-vide neck of Bavarian free-range pork with mashed potatoes, Dijon mustard, onion and pork jus, or roasted root chervil, peanut curry crunch, black cumin mayonna

This delightful restaurant with a cosy atmosphere, Jugendstil decor and charming service has been around since 1999. It brings not only Italian joie de vivre but also Italian cuisine to the table – try the sheep's-cheese ravioli!

Incidentally, you also have the opportunity to purchase the aged balsamic vinegar after which this place is named. In summer, head for the shady terrace. The location by the Nymp
