Altes Fahrhaus

Description:

• This is a restaurant avec chambres where the pleasant overnight accommodations are less significant than the restaurant. Three kilometers (1 3/4 miles) south of the resort's center, adjacent to the right bank of the Isar River, it's in a 75-hectare (185-acre) compound. The owner is Ely Reiser, who closely supervises (or prepares herself) everything coming out of her kitchens. The food is the best in the region, and Munich-based gastronomes often come here just to have a meal. Menu items change with the seasons but might include a salad of green asparagus with strips of braised gooseliver; bouillon of venison with ravioli or a filet of venison baked in herbs with a pepper-flavored cream sauce; filet of turbot in champagne sauce; or filet of veal with red-wine sauce, noodles, and exotic mushrooms. Because the menu changes almost every day, even the owner is reluctant to name a particular house specialty, although one superb dish that's usually available is a well-seasoned rack of lamb served with eggplant, gratin of potatoes, and zucchini in a mustard sauce. Dessert might be a Grand Marnier soufflé with rhubarb.

  On the premises are five bedrooms, each with its own terrace overlooking the river. With breakfast included, doubles cost 100€ to 118€ ($160-$189).
