MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
Björn Leist proposes a single-menu concept that expresses his affinity with his homeland of the Rhön Mountains. Using first-rate ingredients from the region, he concocts a creative set menu comprising eight courses. It is divided into four themed sections: "LeistStyle", "Homeland", "Rhön" and "Tradition". "Rhön", for example, features a deluxe version of the humble Thuringian dumpling, which is served with a sauce and elevated with the addition of truffle. Fans of high-quality meat will be pleased to know that the restaurant proudly serves meat from its own pasture-raised oxen. This is a dining experience worth allowing plenty of time for! The wine list is principally devoted to German vintners. Diners are seated in a quaint little dining space; the wood panelling and timberwork lend it a wonderfully cosy atmosphere, along with the banquette seating on all sides and snug recesses. Next door, the SaxenHof hotel proposes cheerful modern guestrooms; WohnZimmer serves alternative culinary options.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
MICHELIN Green Star
"The question of sustainability is very important to us and in this respect rearing our own grass-fed oxen ("Rhöner WeideOxen") is a great asset. We work with regional produce and save resources wherever possible, use district heating, train our staff and have electric car charging points for our clients."
