The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Since returning from his travels, which included stops at renowned restaurants such as Traube Tonbach in Baiersbronn and Söl'ring Hof on Sylt, Julius Reisch has been running his parents' business with unwavering dedication, and his wife Anna-Marie as maître d' and sommelier. The chef-patron creates ambitious fine dining experiences in the form of two set menus, one of them vegetarian. Built on classic foundations with a modern twist, his dishes are bold and flavoursome. The wine pairings are expertly selected – there is also a range of mature wines. The waitstaff are charming and adept, and from time to time the kitchen team also serves the dishes personally. In addition to Esszimmer, Oberschwäbischer Hof hotel has a second restaurant, Lazarus Stube.
