The story
Restaurant im Hofgut in Bad Waldsee approaches Mediterranean cuisine with a strict commitment to local sourcing. The kitchen team gathers vegetables from nearby fields, fish from the Fürstlichen Gewässer, and game directly from the Waldseer Forst. They operate under a single principle. The better always beats the good. Sommelier Martin Wochner complements these regional finds from a cellar holding more than one thousand bottles, ensuring every pour aligns with the day’s harvest.
Diners often begin with the See Perle, a raw salmon trout served with pumpernickel and wild herb salad, reflecting a broader Mediterranean flavor profile that respects Alpine seasons. The main courses rotate frequently, yet the grilled beef fillet with its Pinot Noir reduction stays a steady favorite alongside the spiced corn chicken with gorgonzola gnocchi. Sweet endings shift between house-made sorbets and the blueberry impression, which layers frozen custard with melissa and walnuts. A curated cheese plate from Hoflieferant Eberle rounds out the table.
Modern design sits comfortably inside the preserved masonry of the original farmstead. Guests settle into large windows during summer months or drift toward the crackling fireplace when autumn arrives. The two-spoon recognition from the Schlemmer Atlas highlights this balance of refined service and grounded comfort. Evening walks along the seven princely routes offer a quiet conclusion before returning to the terrace.
