Zum waldfrieden

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

Previously chef at Kuno 1408 in Würzburg, Daniel Schröder is already a familiar name in the region, and he is now at the helm of the small-format fine dining restaurant at this charming hotel. In the kitchen, the chef-owner draws inspiration from French cuisine and uses top-notch ingredients to craft dishes that emanate finesse. His "kohlrabi, pear, pecan", for example, proves to be a particularly successful combination of textures and flavours. The five- or six-course set menu is based on the seasons and complemented by a well-curated wine list dominated by regional labels. The tastefully mod

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

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

First things first: be sure to make a reservation, because this place is in high demand! This isn't surprising given the fantastic eight-course set menu that the kitchen team around Christian Steska and Jansen Schouten proposes in this smart townhouse situated in the beautiful old town. For those who prefer a lighter option, an attractively priced four-course set menu is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The restaurant comprises both Christian & Friends and the adjoining wine bar Bordeaux & Friends with its distinctive wine rack – it has an excellent selection of wines with many top label

This really lovely restaurant is deservedly popular. Accommodated in a converted 500-year-old farmhouse, it boasts a charming dining area with a cosy atmosphere, and an eye-catching old Swiss church window. In the small open kitchen, chef-patron Thomas Hausin conjures up fresh, regional dishes that are rife with robust flavours and won't break the bank. Attentive service courtesy of the friendly hostess. N.B. Different opening hours in summer.

This long-established family business is a well-run affair, with diners settling into the cosy dining rooms to enjoy regional fare. On the menu, tasty dishes such as roast venison with red cabbage and dumplings will whet your appetite. You can stay overnight in the inn or in the guesthouse located 300m away.
