The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Take in the view of the lake as you enjoy an outstanding set menu – it doesn't get much better than this! Diners in Hotel Lago's fine dining restaurant are bowled over not only by the view but also by the interior with its warm wood and maritime colours, high-quality furnishings and elegant Nordic design. In summer, guests can make the most of the terrace with its lounge and small sandy beach; in winter, the wood-burning stove makes for a cosy atmosphere. The focus lies squarely on the modern culinary creations of owner Klaus Buderath (he was responsible for the MICHELIN-starred cuisine at Landgasthof Adler in Rammingen and also won a star for the restaurant Lago) and Benedikt Wittek - both form the double helm in the kitchen. Using top-quality ingredients, the dishes are meticulously prepared with a real eye for detail. Top tip: Try the non-alcoholic drink pairings!
