The Meier family also runs the gorgeous HILZHOF, a hotel with chic guestrooms, and the compact fine dining restaurant HIO. At MEIER, the really delicious cuisine perfectly reflects a house motto that translates as "the field cooks". They make use of organic produce sourced from the region or even from their own vegetable field or herb garden. Charming front-of-house team.

Review summary

Located in Hilzhofen, MEIER offers country cuisine set against the scenic backdrop of the Upper Palatinate Jura. Reviews highlight its tranquil atmosphere, traditional decor, and high-quality rooms, with many praising the owner’s personal hospitality and the staff’s friendliness towards families and motorhome travelers. However, criticisms point to inconsistent food quality, such as tough meat or bland flavors, alongside issues with service pacing and occasional unfriendliness. While the ambiance is widely regarded as unique and noble, some guests feel the experience does not justify the cost, noting that culinary execution sometimes falls short of expectations despite the appealing setting.

Best for

Suitable for families or self-drive tourists seeking a tranquil rural atmosphere and quality accommodation, though those demanding consistent culinary excellence should proceed with caution.
