St. Andreas

The long-established Hotel Blauer Engel is home to this small restaurant run by the dedicated and highly skilled Unger brothers. Claudius manages the restaurant floor while head chef Benjamin crafts a creative seasonal menu featuring three to seven meticulously presented courses, including dishes such as veal with beech mushrooms, gooseberry and parsley root. The kitchen team – including the head chef – join in serving and explain. The modern decor with a minimalist feel makes for an elegant and very inviting setting.

• 16 seat room inside the long established Hotel Blauer Engel, built for a slow, candlelit evening service.
• Brother led operation, with Claudius on the floor and chef Benjamin Unger in the kitchen, keeping the experience personal and tightly run.
• A chef and kitchen team that step into the dining room to present and explain courses, turning the tasting into a guided meal rather than silent plate drops.

• Veal and other carefully sourced meats treated with modern restraint, often anchoring the main courses.
• Woodland mushrooms, including beech mushrooms when in season, used for deep umami and gentle texture.
• Sharp, clean fruit acidity, gooseberry shows up as a counterpoint to richer sauces.
• Parsley root and other winter roots that bring sweetness, earth, and structure to the plate.

A small, Michelin starred dining room inside Hotel Blauer Engel, built around a seasonal multi course menu served Wednesday to Saturday evenings. The kitchen runs modern German cooking with a Saxon accent, typically 3 to 7 courses, with dishes that lean on pristine proteins, roots, woodland mushrooms, and bright fruit notes. Parties of six or more are asked to pre arrange the menu.
