The Experience
From Michelin Guide
This place has it all: a cosy atmosphere, extremely friendly and well-drilled service, as well as excellent food. Formerly named Gasthaus Krone, the Berlin family's restaurant has been a mecca for foodies for years ā no wonder there are so many regulars! Chef-patron Franz Berlin presides in the kitchen, overseeing a successful fusion of classic cuisine and modern influences. The four to seven courses of his seasonally inspired set menu are harmoniously composed and presented with a refreshing clarity, a case in point being the cod, pan-seared with the skin on, with veal head ragout, pak choi and a horseradish and blood orange foam. A vegetarian set menu is also available by prior arrangement. When it comes to wine recommendations, you can certainly put your faith in the sommelier ā he has a story to tell about pretty much every wine in his collection. For overnight stays there are comfortable guestrooms and decent spa facilities.
