KARRisma
Lindau, Germany



The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Part of the Adara hotel, this is an elegant little restaurant with a modern and inviting interior – the eye-catching decor includes numerous mirrors on the wall. The management is cordial and personable: chef Julian Karr not only cooks, he is also involved in the service. His cuisine is creative and seasonal, and the quality of the ingredients is second to none. A nice example: Lake Constance pikeperch, spinach leaves, Jerusalem artichokes as foam and vegetables. Tip: The restaurant offers its own wine to accompany the set menu, which changes on a regular basis. Set in the old town, the terrace is lovely. Tip: Leave your car in P4 multi-storey car park, just a short walk away.
