The Experience
From Michelin Guide
A place that lives, sleeps and breathes art! Not only is there the special cachet of the listed Haag Villa (1877), there is also Christian Grünwald's cooking, the likes of which you would be hard pressed to find anywhere else. We are in the company of an extremely creative chef who stands out for having his own distinctive signature. This he showcases in a seasonal set menu – the various appetisers are a fantastic introduction! He draws inspiration from nature and uses ingredients of excellent quality. For example, the local venison, Butter von 4 Hölzern, spruce needle powder, roasted macaroni almond, sour cherry, parsley root exudes a wonderful forest aroma. The food is served on illuminated display window tables, with decorative and edible items on show under their glass tops. The space is extremely stylish, the atmosphere is pleasingly relaxed, inviting and familiar – Christian Grünwald himself is also on hand to shed light on his creations. Practical tip: You will find parking on the villa's premises.
