Obendorfers Eisvogel

Sebastian Obendorfer truly has a talent for bringing excellent products to the plate with finesse and expression. His unique tasting menu gives the classical repertoire a creative twist and draws inspiration from international cuisines. The fabulous cheese trolley is curated by famous Alsace affineur Antony! Decent wine pairings, with non-alcoholic alternatives available. The interior is modern, elegant and comfortable; the oval-shaped wine cabinet in the middle of the room is bound to catch your eye. The hilltop location and large windows mean diners can enjoy unobstructed views of the undulating landscape of the Upper Palatinate – magnificent sunsets included! Cordial and highly experienced waitstaff. Tip: Stay overnight at Der Birkenhof hotel.

• Two-star cooking in a spa resort: A destination dining room inside Der Birkenhof, built for dinner plus an overnight stay.
• Japanese detail on a classical frame: Precise, high-contrast plates that splice Japanese technique into French structure.
• Cheese as a finale: A serious trolley, curated by affineur Antony, treated as part of the menu, not an afterthought.
