Restaurant Hirsch

Recognised by Der Feinschmecker 2026

Great news at the Romantik® Hotel | Restaurant Hirsch on the Swabian Alb: the renowned gourmet magazine DER FEINSCHMECKER has once again included us in its exclusive list of “The best restaurants in Germany 2026”. This award is one of the most important benchmarks of German fine dining and confirms once more the exceptional quality and consistency of our cuisine.

Fine dining with heart and roots

For decades, our Michelin-starred restaurant has stood for culinary excellence and authentic flavour. Under Michelin-starred chef Gerd Windhösel, the kitchen creates an “Alb cuisine” deeply rooted in its home region. The philosophy is as clear as the air on the Alb: high-quality produce, precise craftsmanship and pure flavour come first.

Whether it is the famous Alb lamb, fresh freshwater fish or seasonal vegetables from regional growers, Gerd Windhösel draws on a strong network of local producers to combine tradition and modern fine dining at the highest level.

 

A tradition of excellence

This renewed recommendation from DER FEINSCHMECKER underlines our place as a fixture of Germany’s gourmet scene. We are particularly proud of the remarkable continuity of our house: Restaurant Hirsch has held a Michelin star without interruption since 1994. This passion for quality is reflected not only on the plate but in the entire experience.

Together with hostess Silke Windhösel, our team creates a family atmosphere in which first-class hospitality and fine dining come together perfectly. The 2026 award is both recognition and motivation for us – and above all an invitation to you to experience the culinary richness of the Swabian Alb with all your senses.

 

Our invitation to you

For us, this award is both an incentive and a promise. We remain committed – with creativity, authenticity and passion. We want you not just to dine with us but to experience pleasure with all your senses: flavour, atmosphere and hospitality as one complete experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to Restaurant Hirsch soon.
