It is not for nothing that Elmar and Laura Simon have long proved popular with diners: Balthasar has held a Michelin star continuously since 1999! Chef-patron Elmar Simon originally set up shop here in 1996. His right-hand woman is his charming wife Laura, a sommelier by profession, who, together with her front-of-house team, takes a pleasingly relaxed yet professional approach to her guests. On the way into the elegant restaurant, the porthole in the entrance area affords a sneak peek into the heart of the operation – the kitchen –, increasing your anticipation of their modern take on classic cuisine all the more. Vegetarians are catered for with the "Grüner Garten" ("Green Garden") set menu.
