Storchen Schmidhofen - Restaurant Hotel

Unpretentious, delicious star cuisine for years. Little chi-chi, but taste. Hotel perfect.

When I'm in the "Ländle", a stay in the "Storchen" is mandatory. Michelin-starred cuisine and beautiful, quiet rooms - and a good starting point for exploring the surrounding area!

We ate the 5-course menu for lunch. The quality was excellent, cozy atmosphere, very good wine recommendations.

Yesterday we reserved a table for two people in the evening. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old renovated building. Unfortunately it has been renovated somewhat. High-gloss laminate floors, white dividers between the tables with some pretty creepy “art” that’s more reminiscent of an Italian pizzeria.It was a cool autumnal evening and so the “baked autumnal vegetables with peppered aubergine” and the “half duck” really appealed to me. The autumnal vegetable with the eggplant turned out to be a sliced ​​spring roll. There was nothing autumnal about it and only the pastry shell was baked. Conclusion: creative formulations are nice, but they should also deliver what they promise.The duck, on the other hand, was very well prepared, the red cabbage was still crisp and very fine. The bread dumpling came as a fried triangle.For dessert we chose the cheese plate with homemade fruit bread and were a bit surprised when the waiter asked twice. Okay - the plate came fresh from the fridge. All 6 (very good!) cheeses fridge cold. The fact that the accompanying fruit bread was also cold and quite soggy confirmed our suspicion that the entire plate had spent the last few hours in the refrigerator under foil. That shouldn't happen in a house like this. In response to our complaint there was an apology and an espresso and a glass of wine from the house. It's nice, but it doesn't make up for itWhat particularly bothered us - the service was nice and courteous. Nevertheless, the plate of bread served before the meal, along with the bowl of butter and quark, remained on our table until the bill was paid.And we certainly didn't have the best day, because the restaurant was only occupied by 3 tables. Unfortunately, the whole house exudes a cold 80s-90s atmosphere. We might try again in the summer with the really beautiful garden.

absolute top in every respect. Great room, great food. We felt comfortable

We were there for lunch. A really very fine 5-course menu with excellent quality. I really liked the fact that the vegetables come from regional solidarity farming, which you can definitely taste. The service was impeccable and in a good mood, which is what you want everywhere.

The reception from the senior manager was very unfriendly and not very professional.Clearly our appearance did not meet their requirements. We could tell this from other guests and their reception.The kitchen was very good. Very creative, tasty and regional.Unfortunately we had a bit of bad luck with the monkfish. The hosts' response to the critical comment about the dish was appropriate and professional.The male host, whose name I unfortunately didn't ask for, was extremely friendly, very professional and very pleasant and knowledgeable. He knows the large wine list very well. I really liked this advice.The menu was a bit quick.We ordered a 7-course menu and were unfortunately full after the 5th course.We had shared this comment with the male host. His reaction was very straightforward and extremely professional.Then the senior manager came to the table and was very abrupt. Her comment was that you should think about what you want and can eat beforehand! What should we do now that everything is ordered?I said it was no problem and we would pay for it.I was really amazed! Above all, the tone of voice and facial expression were very inappropriate.I criticized this way after paying. On the bill there was a 5 course menu with water and wine.I thanked the male host very much.On the way out I asked the senior manager if she could give me my criticism. While I was speaking and explaining, she interrupted me.I didn't expect such a harsh manner and unprofessionalism.Instructive, lacking insight and extremely unfriendly.A real shame and extremely inappropriate for such a high quality and delicious cuisine and creative chef.Kitchen 4/5Male host service 5/5Senior boss 1/5.Very, very unfortunate.

Once again a great experience. Fantastic menu, excellent wine pairing.

As always, a special treat!This time again an excellent menu!

We spent two wonderful days there. Everything perfect and exceptional and surprising menu.
