The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Hidden in the basement of Landromantik Wellness Hotel Oswald is an upscale fine dining restaurant that seems improbable in Kaikenried, a Bavarian Forest village with a population of about 550 people. The space is expansive, supremely chic and sophisticated, verging on the luxurious! With experience at top-flight establishments under his belt, head chef Thomas Gerber creates a four- to eight-course set menu, drawing on contemporary influences. Classic in their foundations crafted with the utmost precision, the dishes are pleasingly pared down to the essentials and highlight the intense flavours of first-rate ingredients. Choose a bottle from the nicely curated wine list (around 350 labels) and enjoy the attentive, ultra-friendly service.
