科堡旅馆

This appealing country house lies above a small lake, in the town's Schönstädt neighbourhood. Hannes Scammell shows his culinary mettle, cooking up fresh and tasty seasonal dishes. In addition to the appetising à la carte menu, there is a four-course set menu (the "Genuss-Menü") in the evening. The outside tables are perfect for al fresco meals. The good food is complemented by friendly service courtesy of the owner. If you love a barbecue, look out for their regular evening "Smoker Events" dedicated to grilled meats.

This stunning castle, which is mentioned in written records as early as the 14C, boasts an idyllic location in beautiful grounds. In addition to their tastefully decorated hotel, Alexandra and Andreas Rehberger run this appealing restaurant with a winter garden overlooking the castle courtyard. The chef-patron – no stranger to the restaurant scene – turns his hand to cooking contemporary seasonal cuisine with ingredients from the region; the proprietress delivers Austrian charm and good wine recommendations.

This friendly, well-run restaurant with its appealingly pared-back style adjoins the historical building of a grain mill, which has been converted into guest accommodation. Service is provided by attentive and professional staff, as you tuck into Mediterranean, regional and seasonal cuisine. In addition to à la carte dishes, a set menu is also available.
