We have rarely eaten so well here. Great cuisine, herbs and fish from our own garden, and there is a great playground for children. We were definitely not here for the last time

We were in this restaurant for the first time today. We saw it while driving past last year and, according to the website, we decided to definitely stop by here this year. We really liked the atmosphere. It's quite large, but still cozy thanks to the different rooms. The service was very friendly. Our food tasted quite good, but a large piece of my husband's roast pork was not edible because it took a long time to chew. Unfortunately, my zander fillet and salmon fillet each had to die twice. Way too well done and therefore too dry. The salmon fillet also tasted very fishy. Some would say that it's a fish too! Yes, but it shouldn't taste that much like it. A few days ago I had a wonderfully glazed and tasty salmon at another place.Paying then turned out to be very difficult! We basically had to ask for it three times!A no go!!!Based on a card left on the table about the house's specially produced products, we might have been interested in one or the other (mustard, jam). But unfortunately we stopped eating after eating. The risk of paper being patient here too was too great for us.Maybe our demands are too high. Maybe, but it still has to be right for us.Good luck anyway!We're out!

We were 2 couples and were there on Tuesday for the buffet in the hotel restaurant from 6-8 p.m. for €35 per person. We really liked it there, the ambience was right, the buffet was well stocked with 2 different starters, a salad buffet, 3 main courses with 3 different side dishes andVegetables. Finally, 2 different desserts. The drinks were served. The wine list is extremely well sorted. The Bärenhof has its own herb garden with the rarest herbs, you walk right through it when you go to the hotel entrance. Unique! All herbs are added fresh to the dishes.We recommend the kitchen, everything tasted wonderful!

We probably had a bad day. The service in the restaurant was excellent, but the chef's performance left a lot to be desired. The price/performance ratio was completely undermined. It's a shame, because the reviews suggested otherwise. Perhaps once the renovation is completed, the owners will also be able to improve the performance of the kitchen.

We always come here for dinner several times when we are on vacation (at least once a year). Always consistently high-quality dishes, fresh, in-house ingredients and super-friendly staff. There are now even some herbs and mints from the bear garden growing in our garden at home. Thank you for being able to rely on you.Update 2024: Everything written so far is still valid. In addition, there has been a successful renovation of the (previously beautiful) guest rooms. Fresh and bright. We can't judge the rooms (yet).

I only know the restaurant and the fantastic herb and vegetable garden. Me and my friends couldn't stop raving about the dishes!😋 I had vegetarian zucchini spaghetti and was simply thrilled by the delicious composition of the dish. My companion was also very satisfied with her roast dishes.And the Riesling as a glass of house wine was a poem.Only here would I deduct one point for the uncooled wine carafe. I expect a little more from a restaurant of this class 🙏💖
