Kloster Obermarchtal

This fantastic restaurant is actually housed in what was once a piggery. The attractive modern dining area features high ceilings (the hanging herb boxes are an original detail) and an open kitchen. Here, the chefs whip up a vegetarian set menu, which can be extended to include a meat option if desired. Accompanying the dishes (eg "pumpkin & mirabelle" or "celery & beetroot"), small cards provide information about the ingredients, all of which (except for the salt) are sourced within a 25km radius. Far from run-of-the-mill, this is cuisine driven by original ideas, and consistently ecological
