The picturesque location on the Obersalzberg affords a fantastic mountain panorama for diners to take in. But the fine dining restaurant of the luxurious Kempinski Hotel Berchtesgaden has plenty more to offer than the view. First, the chic interior with its elegantly pared-down and modern design draws on a colour palette of soothing dark tones. Then there are the culinary creations of Ulrich Heimann, who proposes a harmoniously balanced tasting menu comprising five or seven courses. His dishes are cleverly structured, never cluttered, and they showcase impressively high-quality ingredients. The sauces are the crowning glory – a shining example is the extremely flavoursome jus that elevates the Challens duck breast with celery, truffle and quince to new heights. Not only is the food excellent, but the service is very friendly and obliging. On warm summer days, you can make the most of the wonderful terrace.
