Not only is Schloss Filseck a museum, cultural centre and venue for events, it is also a hotspot for foodies! The decor is classic in style, incorporating modern touches, A wooden ceiling and quarry-stone walls add an old-fashioned, rustic charm to proceedings. There is also a wonderful terrace in the interior courtyard. Head chef Daniele Corona clearly draws much of his inspiration from Italy and elsewhere in the Mediterranean, creating highly ambitious and multi-faceted dishes such as "Toscana" (Chianina beef, rocket, bagnetto verde). In the evening, the fine dining set menu also comes in a vegetarian version. There is a well-stocked wine list, and the staff provide astute recommendations. The concept is completely different at lunchtime: the "mezzogiorno" lunch deal is simpler and inexpensive. The ree shuttle service within a 20km radius of the castle is really handy.
