Zur Glashütte Landpension

The first floor of the long-established Zur Schwane hotel is home to a wonderfully chic restaurant, whose decor embodies a harmonious blend of old and new. A highly adept kitchen team creates modern dishes with classical foundations, homing in on the essentials: ingredients and flavours. The carefully selected produce is sourced locally if possible, and some even comes from the hotel's garden. The chefs also have a penchant for herbs. Only German wines are served, including some from the restaurant's estate (they are all available by the glass, too). It's definitely worth opting for the sugges

Surrounded by venerable old trees, this listed manor house has been owned by the same family since 1839. It boasts a delightful beer garden overlooking a small lake. Your hosts put everything they have into providing friendly service and fresh, seasonal regional cuisine.

Should you wish to stay the night in this lovely, quiet spot, there are two flats in the former brewery, chic, modern double rooms in the coach hous

What an incredible spot! Guests cross a bridge to reach the lavishly restored Schloss Frankenberg, which enjoys a beautiful elevated location. As well as incorporating a hotel and vineyard, this grand estate is home to Le Frankenberg, whose stylish and elegant interior exudes historical charm. Guided by the theme "French. Franconian. Fine.", the kitchen presents the five- to seven-course set menu "Innovative Klassik by Sascha Bungeroth", with vegetarian and vegan versions available on request with at least two weeks' notice.

For more than 20 years, Heike and Michael Philipp have been dedicated to keeping their guests happy. The very popular "Classique" set menu showcases a modern take on classic cuisine in four or six courses.

A standout example is the house-made agnolotti with lightly smoked mushrooms, miso and Périgord truffle. The carte blanche surprise menu is available as an alternative on Sat and Sun lunchtime and Sun evening. When it comes to wine, you can rely entirely on the recommendations of your extrem

In keeping with the rest of Laudensacks Parkhotel & Retreat, the fine dining restaurant is a vision of tasteful elegance. The kitchen here has retained its Michelin star since 1994. For many years now, this has been the domain of Frederik Desch, whose cooking style successfully blends classic culinary tradition and modern innovation. He makes good use of first-rate produce such as Rhön salmon trout or local venison, showcasing his ability to bring their individual flavours to the fore. The wine list features Franconian, regional and international labels. In summer, you can enjoy the fine food

This really lovely restaurant in the centre of the Baroque city has a long tradition dating back to 1408. Kuno von Rebstock is said to have been one of the first owners of the Zum Rebstock estate at that time – hence the name. Today, diners can look forward to the ingredient-led cuisine of chef duo Robin Hofmann and Patrick Grieshaber. Creative modern dishes such as "pike-perch, tomato, spinach, black pearl caviar" or "carrot, cauliflower, ponzu, lion's mane mushroom" are served as part of a four- to six-course set menu by a professional yet friendly and relaxed front-of-house team, who give e

In April 2024, Konstantin Kuntzsch – formerly of the restaurant Speiseberg in Halle an der Saale – opened his own place here near the Main River and the old town. His business partner and co-founder Florian Mack is your sommelier and host, heading up the friendly front-of-house team. Ambitious chef Konstantin Kuntzsch conjures up a creative seasonal seven-course set menu. The perfectly pink roasted saddle of Bavarian fawn with a mild hazelnut crust, for example, makes an impression in terms of both technique and flavour. The meat pairs beautifully with the celery and apple flavours and the sil
