Here, diners can look forward to really good food which is both fresh and seasonal, as well as cordial service. Everything is pleasantly down-to-earth – just as you would expect in a wine tavern. The wine and game, like most of the produce, come from the region. Whether you opt for the classic rump steak, one of the daily specials or a vegetarian dish, be sure to leave room for the molten chocolate cake – just heavenly! Delightful courtyard terrace. In short: a fun dining experience!

Having worked at Lilly in Neupotz, Stefan Echle (service) and Matthis Nowak (kitchen) have found their new vocation – in the vaulted cellar of the separately run Villa Königsgarten hotel (formerly Weingut Diehl). A few steps lead down from the courtyard to the restaurant. As you make your way to the dining area, you can take a peek into the glass-paned kitchen, while the modern, seasonal set menu, which offers a choice of options for each course, is being prepared. The three-course surprise menu on Wednesdays and Thursdays is also worth a look. Named after a fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm (T

Remaining true to the Südliche Weinstraße, Sandra Bernhard and Jochen Sitter moved from Birkweiler to this 300 year-old former coaching house, which they run with great dedication and charm. The chef cooks traditional and modern, but above all, flavoursome fare. Dishes include classics such as pan-friend black pudding and Saumagen (stuffed pig’s stomach). The interior courtyard is gorgeous.

Seasonal Cuisine, Farm to table

In the centre of this village right on the German Wine Route, this traditional inn at the foot of Landeck Castle is now run by the fifth generation of the same family, with two sisters breathing new life into the place. Christine Baumann presides in the kitchen, putting a Latin-American spin on Palatinate cuisine; Franziska Baumann provides friendly service. There is a short à la carte menu, from which you can also put together a three- or four-course meal. Regional wines accompany the seasonal cuisine. The appealingly modern, minimalist design successfully incorporates exposed old sandstone w
