Dermbach, Germany
From Michelin Guide
Björn Leist proposes a single-menu concept that expresses his affinity with his homeland of the Rhön Mountains. Using first-rate ingredients from the region, he concocts a creative set menu comprising eight courses. It is divided into four themed sections: LeistStyle, Homeland, Rhön and Tradition. Rhön, for example, features a deluxe version of the humble Thuringian dumpling, which is served with a sauce and elevated with the addition of truffle. Fans of high-quality meat will be pleased to know that the restaurant proudly serves meat from its own pasture-raised oxen. This is a dining experience worth allowing plenty of time for! The wine list is principally devoted to German vintners. Diners are seated in a quaint little dining space; the wood panelling and timberwork lend it a wonderfully cosy atmosphere, along with the banquette seating on all sides and snug recesses. Next door, the SaxenHof hotel proposes cheerful modern guestrooms; WohnZimmer serves alternative culinary options.
