The story
Brasserie Tafern in Aschau im Chiemgau approaches French and Mediterranean cooking with a deliberately unpretentious hand. The menu stays intentionally small, focusing on precise techniques rather than sprawling lists. Diners encounter a straightforward layout where quality ingredients carry the full weight. This restrained philosophy earned the venue two and a half ladles from the Schlemmer Atlas, a recognition that highlights the balance between casual comfort and fine execution.
The Mediterranean kitchen builds its selections around a few reliable pillars. Creamy risotto forms a steady foundation for richer toppings, while delicate fish fillets arrive prepared with careful attention to texture. Maize poullarde rounds out the offerings, showcasing how poultry is treated with restraint rather than heavy sauces. French cooking principles guide the plating, keeping the focus on ingredient integrity.
Situated as the secondary dining room within a local boutique hotel, the space maintains an easygoing brasserie rhythm. Large windows frame the Kampenwand mountain, turning the Bavarian landscape into a constant backdrop for evening meals. Guests settle into familiar brasserie seating while watching the daylight fade over the peaks. The environment favors conversation and unhurried service over formal ceremony.
