The story
Restaurant Mohren in Oberstdorf serves refined regional cooking from Chef Daniel Höfling, where centuries of hospitality meet contemporary techniques. The establishment occupies a historic structure on the Marktplatz that dates back to 1478, originally known as "Taferne beyr Kirchen". Kitchen chief Daniel Höfling leads the team, focusing on fresh local products while incorporating international influences. Guests choose between the sun-drenched terrace overlooking the pedestrian zone and the elegant interior spaces that blend traditional charm with modern comfort.
The menu bridges gutbürgerlich comfort with elevated presentation, earning a 1.5 ladle recognition from the Schlemmer Atlas. Signature preparations include rose-pink roasted lamb hip and braised ox cheeks alongside classics like Wiener Kalbsschnitzel. Seafood offerings feature monkfish and lobster, while vegetarian options highlight herb risotto and cauliflower falafel. The Allgäuer Vitello Tonnato from beef brisket illustrates the kitchen's focus on fresh interpretations of regional dishes.
The 500-year-old vaulted wine cellar provides a romantic setting for multi-course menus and gala dinners. The team recommends pairings from a list of quality open bottles and curated selections from around the world. After dinner, guests can finish with crème brûlée or Baileys parfait while enjoying the atmosphere of the ancient stone arches. The café area also offers British tea time upon request, extending the culinary experience beyond the main service hours.
