Locally sourced food is one of the big trends in fine dining. Alte Schule walks this path as well and offers variations of traditional, not to say old-school, German food. They don't offer a fixed menu and use what had been delivered on the day by local farmers and hunters. This adds an element of surprise, and so far, I had never a dish twice at any visit, but there is risk that one day's offering is better or worse than usual.
My best experience was an evening where the chef prepared a menu with many dishes which are traditional in my family and each of them he did more refined as we do them at home.
Service by the owners is flawless. The younger team members lack experience but make up for this with friendliness and dedication.
The only downside is the wine pairing. While not particularly bad, it is just not as exciting as in other restaurants of this quality, though their wine menu has improved over the years.
Alte Schule is located in the middle of nowhere. To ease the burden of getting there, they also offer a B&B. The Maisonette rooms are spacious. You will spot deers from the balcony. Just don't expect service and amenities here like in a star hotel, this is not the intention of the team, though, Breakfast is on-par with star hotels.
Overall, the combo of fine dining Restaurant, B&B and beautiful landscape justifies to stay there for more than just a dinner. It makes a great getaway for two, three days.
