Schwarz Gourmet

The Schwarz family has been running its two restaurants in this pretty red sandstone building since 2017. One is the chic Schwarz Gourmet, where the chef – who is no stranger to the fine dining scene – proposes a set menu (up to six courses) in which he happily combines international ingredients with those from the local region. The focus lies squarely on the produce, which is of exceptional quality. Fun fact: Manfred Schwarz has already played host to many a celebrity, as you can see from the numerous photos. His friendly wife Angelika takes good care of the guests.
