Fine dining in stately surroundings! As befits an elegant castle, you first have to cross the moat and walk through the inner courtyard (home to what must be the finest terrace in Bavaria!), before entering the attractive minimalist-style restaurant room with a decorative white vault. Florian Vogel (previously of Kastell in Wernberg-Köblitz and Dallmayr in Munich) proposes modern cuisine that draws on classical, Mediterranean and Asian influences. The culinary concept could be described as a "round-the-world trip that starts and ends in Bavaria". Only top-notch ingredients are used, many of them sourced from the nearby Eichethof estate. You will be well looked after by the charming and professional service team, who are also on hand for interesting wine recommendations. The guestrooms in the adjoining hotel are done out in an appealingly clean design.
