The story

Restaurant Berwanger Hof in Sonthofen: A Family Run Bavarian Kitchen

Roots in the Allgäu countryside

Restaurant Berwanger Hof in Sonthofen anchors its Bavarian cooking lineage to a former dairy farm established in the mid nineteenth century. Great grandparents Kathi and Franz Fidel opened the first guest rooms seventy five years ago. Conny Berwanger now guides the fourth generation through daily operations while preserving the original farmhouse character. A complete kitchen overhaul in 2023 equipped modern appliances to handle busy dinner services efficiently.

Seasonal mountain cooking

The kitchen prepares a rotating half board menu built around fresh regional produce from the surrounding pastures. Diners frequently encounter slow roasted lamb shoulder followed by glazed Barbary duck breast during cooler months. Chefs balance traditional cooking methods with precise plating to meet the exacting standards praised by the Schlemmer Atlas guide. Every plate reflects the quiet rhythm of Alpine agriculture rather than fleeting trends.

Cozy dining rooms for everyone

The Sonnenstube sunroom and adjacent wooden halls welcome both overnight visitors and independent travelers throughout the week. Warm lighting and sturdy furniture create a setting where conversation flows easily between courses. The Schlemmer Atlas award recognizes this consistent quality for outside guests who seek honest Bavarian cuisine without hotel obligations. Tables fill quickly when the kitchen shifts from morning bread service to evening wine pairings.
