"Siblings Jakob, Theresa, and Xaver Portenlänger were all under 30 in 2018 when they bought a pub and spruced it up into Xaver’s, updating both the food and the culture of the traditional Bavarian style. The trio, whose family has run the Alter Wirt hotel in the Bavarian countryside since 1919, built on their long history in local gastronomy to create an exciting menu and vibe. Surrounded by dark green walls and velvet upholstery, guests can tuck into dishes such as lamb shank with parsnips and charred leeks, as well as a number of vegetarian and vegan options." - Kate Mann
