Marcel von Winckelmann

Restaurant Michelin€€€€2.3 km

Armed with valuable experience gained in top establishments, Marcel von Winckelmann has struck out on his own with this restaurant with an open and friendly vibe. The centrepiece is the horseshoe-shaped chef's table wrapped around the visible kitchen, where you are right in the middle of the action. You can really sense the young team's enthusiasm for interacting with diners – this creates a personalised and authentic atmosphere. The seasonal cooking uses selected ingredients.

Zwo20

Restaurant€€6.3 km

The name of this restaurant refers to the year 2020, in which Andrea von Csiszer (head chef) and Sophie Herzog (the cordial and highly adept maître d') set up shop. Diners are drawn here not only by the somewhat unusual setting in a historical chapel with striking features such as vaults and ceiling paintings, but also the trendy and laid-back atmosphere, as well as the intriguing culinary concept: Asian sharing cuisine with a European twist. You can put together an assortment of several small, cleverly devised dishes to share, such as "Peking pork 24hr sous vide" with fried onion, soya and ho
