Leos by Stephan Brandl

Rustic wood features and original decorative touches combine to create a high-end, minimalist decor. Beautifully situated in the Bayerwaldhof spa hotel, which overlooks the village Liebenstein, Leos is a modern take on a small Stube (akin to a parlour), with just four tables available. The chic look and pleasantly informal atmosphere are complemented by the relaxed yet highly efficient service and carefully considered, clearly structured dishes that come courtesy of chef Stephan Brandl. Outstanding ingredients are prepared with the utmost precision and creativity, resulting in exciting combinations such as perfectly cooked and tender Vendée sole on a pleasingly salty bacon foam with a dollop of spicy, aromatic onion marmalade. A five- or seven-course set menu is served, with a choice of starter, main course and dessert. There is also a decent selection of wines that can be ordered by the glass. Nice to know: If you dine here as a hotel guest, you pay a much lower price for the set menu.
