Diners can choose a six- or seven-course set menu, and a vegetarian version is available upon prior request. The fabulous cheese trolley is curated by famous affineur Antony,

Rustic wood features and original decorative touches combine to create an upscale, minimalist setting. Beautifully situated in the Bayerwaldhof spa hotel, which overlooks the village of Liebenstein, Leos is a modern take on a traditional Stube – a small, cosy dining space – with just four tables.

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

Schwingshackl ESSKULTUR

His dishes draw on modern and classical influences; sometimes complex, sometimes more pared down, they always involve extremely accurate craftsmanship and high-quality ingredients.

Storstad

★ Michelin€€€€international

It's not just the name that's Swedish (storstad, meaning "big city", is a reference to the head chef's time in Stockholm); Nordic accents can also be detected in the design of the urban-chic restaurant on the fifth floor of the Turmtheater. Up here in the historical Goliath House, you can also make the most of the wonderful terrace with its views of the cathedral. Chef-patron Anton Schmaus can depend on his dedicated and talented kitchen team. Under the direction of head chef Josef Weig, the two set menus – one conventional and one vegetarian – each comprise five to seven courses, with a three

Aska

★ Michelin€€€€japanese, sushi

Two restaurants with Swedish names under one roof. In contrast to the original restaurant (Storstad), Aska is a compact sushi restaurant with a decidedly personal touch. The name translates as "ash", and the interior is accordingly dark in hue. Diners sit at the counter or one of the few booth tables to enjoy authentic sushi served just the way it is in Japan. You can choose between an eight- or 10-course set menu – with the option of additional courses. Having learned his craft in his hometown of Osaka, sushi master Atsushi Sugimoto now transforms premium ingredients into the best classic sus

Wirtsstube im Hotel Burkhard

Bib Gourmand€€Country cooking, Home Cooking

In the second restaurant of the hotel Landgasthof Burkhard, the cuisine is somewhat simpler, which does not detract from the quality. Dishes range from cordon bleu to sea bream with lemon. The dining areas are cosy and prettily done out – you can choose to enjoy your meal in the Wirtsstube or the Esszimmer. The inner courtyard terrace, which is shared with the Kaminstube, is also very appealing.

Kuhlemann

€€€€Creative, Seasonal Cuisine

In his restaurant in the family-run Grader hotel, Adrian Kuhlemann cooks up creative modern cuisine rooted in regional, seasonal produce. His personal culinary style is showcased in interesting dishes – names such as "Salmon Trout Kimchi" or "Egg and Spinach" offer little hint of the inventiveness behind the succinct descriptions. From 7pm – and by prior reservation only – a six-course set menu is served. The well-curated wine list features appealing labels from Germany, France and Italy. Alternatively, guests can opt for harmonious wine pairings served by the glass. The attractive setting ble

U Štěpána

€€Czech, Beef

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. The restaurant rears its own cattle, hence the focus on beef – delicious dishes include beef tongue with celeriac purée and horseradish foam, or beef ribs with coleslaw and bread. The interior has a charmingly rustic quality; in summer, dine out on the terrace, which is surrounded by greenery. Should you wish to soak up this rural idyll a little longer, there is also a campsite.
