Berchtesgadener Esszimmer

Fantastic evening of five, vegetarian courses. All courses were amazing and had deep flavour and original presentation. Wines were also very well paired, bringing a sophistication to the whole evening. The restaurant is very small and had no more than six tables, meaning the service was very attentive with being over the top. We would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends and family visiting Berchtesgaden.

All dishes were elegantly and beautifully displayed on decorative and special plates and the taste was divine. The wines were great and service was wonderful. The owners Maximilian and Roxana have a green Michelin star for sustainability but they deserve a regular Michelin star for taste and presentation.

A lovely and most memorable dining experience provided by the Kuhbecks. A husband and wife duo that serve beautiful food using local suppliers and producers. Food was outstanding and we got matching non alcoholic pairings which enhanced the flavours of each course. We got the tasting menu which also included home made bread, a delicious amuse Bouché and a second dessert. Thank you for the most amazing experience

Delightful little restaurant that has the makings of becoming one of the best in the region. After a bumpy start to our night, we absolutely fell in love with the place. Initially, we were not met with any real greeting or welcome and had to stand by the entrance awkwardly as the hostess/server walked by us a few times before we were acknowledged and shown our table. My husband’s jacket was collected and hung but mine was not (not a big deal, but the inconsistency made me feel disregarded). A beautiful amuse-bouche came out, but we had to sit around wondering when our bottle of wine was coming. I think it was just forgotten, and we had to remind her, but in all fairness she quickly obliged and wonderfully decanted it for us. After those few first hiccups, her service became professional, smooth and friendly so that is all that matters. The whole culinary experience was masterful from start to end. Every plate, utensil, and dish was beautiful to look at, carefully presented, and delicious to eat. I always judge a restaurant based on its bread and olive oil, and theirs was top tier. I was pleased that they offer a set course option along side an à la cart one. It was very evident that all ingredients were exquisitely fresh and local. The small touches and play on colors, textures, and visuals were meticulously thought out and crafted. The indoor area is within a rustic tavern full of character and charm but only holds four tables, so definitely make a reservation. I believe there may be a courtyard that can accommodate more patrons in favorable weather. Our initial (somewhat) cold reception was more than made up for when the chef came out to ask us how everything was and sent us off very warmly at the end of the night. The food was utterly incredible from start to finish, and I cannot wait to go back again. I truly believe if they refine the initial reception to be more warm and acknowledging, they could very well be tapped on the shoulder with a Michelin star in the near future. Bravo to this gem!

The hospitality was exceptional from start to finish. Each dish and paired wine delivered a new memorable experience. Very special to spend an evening in a small restaurant run by such a highly skilled couple.

If you have 3 hours do it! We lucked out and hit them on a quiet weeknight in May which allowed for much interaction with Chef/owner Maximilian who turned out to be an NBA fan and delightful conversationalist. Oh AND THE food. I won’t post more pictures of the food but see the menu photo. All locally foraged, caught and sourced. Last suggestion don’t ask Max if he is German….ok…. just do it.

Absolutely wonderful little place, a true hidden gem. The food was really, really great and inventive - clearly a talented chef who wanted to run his own place. The place was small and for most of the dinner we were the only customers, I hope more people start coming here and the place stays open for our next visit!

Was thoroughly impressed by the presentation, service, and overall attentiveness but the entire staff. Can say that this may have been the best experience I have ever had in a restaurant and that the corn ceviche is the best thing I have ever tasted in my life. Bravo!

Tonight we enjoyed an incredible meal in a wonderful ambiance! This family, man and wife, offers extremely fresh and expertly crafted menus that I dare say will delight any diner. Esszimmer is convenient, and there's off street parking (paid) a one minute walk away. I ordered the Starter of consumme with ravioli of red beet, beech nuts and kumquats. So refined, petite and delicious. Maximillian (Chef and Owner) knows precisely how to mix delicate flavors into a symphony! For my Entrée, I ordered roasted quail, presented with asparagus, morels, pumpkin cream and potatoes. All seasoned to delight my taste buds. Preceding it all was a special bite I can't truly describe other than delicious, along with a variety of fine sliced breads. An extensive wine list is offered, along with spirits. I didn't have room for dessert, however I'm certain it's of the same high quality. Our server turned out to be the wife, Roxana, who is a co-owner. This young couple is clearly doing their best to delight their customers. If we lived nearby, we'd be regulars beyond a doubt. The experience deserves a full 5!

This is the type of restaurant that my wife and I are always looking for: Friendly atmosphere, fantastic food, and interesting people. We ordered the two tasting menus (meat and vegetarian) and the two drink pairings (alcohol and nonalcoholic). We've never had multiple options for the pairings anywhere else. This allowed us, since we share, to taste the entire menu Esszimmer offers. We can honestly say that EVERYTHING is fantastic.
