This U-shaped property is set in a quiet and secluded location in the Königsdorf mountains, surrounded by meadows, forests and greenery – the perfect backdrop for Cathrin Maric and Philipp Kroboth to live out their concept of sustainability and self-sufficiency. On their organic farm, they grow vegetables, fruit and herbs, keep goats and chickens, and harvest honey from their own bees. Everything else is sourced from like-minded producers in the immediate vicinity. Diners are served a seasonal surprise menu featuring flavoursome, ingredient-led dishes. The proprietor himself recommends the wines and gladly shares insights into his organic ethos. Housed in the former stables of the farm, the space is attractive: modern design, wood and stone, and floor-to-ceiling windows with an unobstructed view of the outside. Up to 16 people can be seated at four tables in front of the open kitchen. This creates a personal and intimate atmosphere, which is enhanced by your two hosts' warm and natural presence – it feels a bit like dining with friends. The owner also runs her veterinary practice next to the restaurant.
