Gourmetrestaurant Dichter

★★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Creative French

You enter this fine dining restaurant either through the side entrance or via the lobby of the luxurious Parkhotel Egerner Höfe, just beyond the elegant bar and decorative glassed-in wine cabinets. The setting is upmarket, slick and modern, with three Japanese holly trees housed in eye-catching glass cubes. Floor-to-ceiling windows afford views onto the grounds and sculptures outside. Traditional French cuisine meets modern innovation in this kitchen, where dishes are expertly crafted with particular emphasis on regional produce. A good example of the harmonious combinations that showcase the

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.7/5 · 97 reviews

Gourmetrestaurant Dichter, led by Thomas Kellermann, offers creative French cuisine praised for its balanced flavors and artistic presentation. Guests frequently highlight the warm, elegant atmosphere and attentive service. However, some reviewers note the slow pacing, with meals lasting up to five hours, and strict cancellation fees. A minority find the portion sizes small relative to expectations or describe the style as polarizing. While generally acclaimed for culinary craftsmanship, visitors should anticipate a lengthy dining experience and be aware of rigid booking policies. It suits those seeking a refined, immersive gastronomic journey rather than quick service.

Ideal for diners seeking an artistic, immersive culinary experience; plan for a long meal and adhere strictly to cancellation policies.

Restaurant Überfahrt

★ Michelin€€€€Classic Cuisine, Farm to table

Cornelia Fischer, who heads up the kitchen at the fine dining restaurant of the splendid Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt, is by no means a rookie when it comes to running a kitchen. Most recently head chef at Zur Schwane in Volkach, she is now showcasing her contemporary take on classic cuisine here at Überfahrt. Excellent ingredients go into the two four-course set menus, one of which is vegetarian. The fresh, tenderly cooked Breton langoustine with delicious braised fennel and a classic shellfish and orange sauce is one outstanding example. Additional dishes can be swapped in or out to tailor you

Haubentaucher

★ Michelin€€€€Farm to table, Creative

The fabulous lakeside location and wonderful terrace are certainly part of the appeal here, but this restaurant has plenty more to recommend it. Dedicated chef-patron Alois Neuschmid, who earned a MICHELIN star years ago at Lois, his previous restaurant here in the same town, cooks up a storm for his guests. At lunchtime, the menu features simpler daily specials, such as fried black pudding, pasta or Wiener schnitzel; in the evening, fine dining is the name of the game, with a four-course surprise menu. In the contemporary, seasonally inspired dishes, the main ingredient is often presented in

Alois-Anton Kaminrestaurant

€€€Country cooking, Farm to table

A good alternative to the fine dining restaurant of the Park-Hotel Egerner Höfe. The choice is yours: dine in the cosy Bavarian-style dining rooms dubbed "Alois" and "Anton" or in the more upmarket Kaminrestaurant. Just as charming is the terrace, which is sheltered from the wind and has a view of the pastures and mountains. Either way, you can enjoy cordial service and regional and seasonal dishes in a pleasantly laid-back atmosphere.
