"The couple who run this restaurant put everything they have into creating a warm atmosphere and serving seasonal cuisine that draws on regional and Mediterranean influences. The set menu also comes in a vegetarian version. In addition to the cosy, lovingly decorated dining area inside, there are a handful of outdoor tables affording views of the historical buildings of this charming little town. This business is a Slow Food member and is committed to sustainability." - Michelin Inspector

it's just perfect, no further comment for our 5 courses. We drove past this town on Friday night, and most of the restaurants either closed (I still dont get why they closed on such time)or fully booked. We felt so lucky that a table is free for 3 of us. The Deer & Cod main dish were amazing, also love the Ice cream +Chocolate mosse.

Who would have thought that a restaurant with a name like “old donkey” would serve such a fine cuisine!? We definitely didn’t! 😅 So when we sat down, ready for a PROPER meal after a whole day of exploring, we were a bit surprised by the multiple course menu. But as we were too hungry to turn around now, we went for it. 😁 The pumpkin soup and the two types of deer were fantastic but the bean croquettes and the cauliflower biscuits did not quite hit our favorites list tonight. “Alter Esel” is a lovely location and the staff was amazing bit it was not quite what we needed after an exhausting day like today. We take the blame for that! 😁 For your awareness: If you worked up a sweat the whole day and are ready to dig in to regain your energy this is not the ideal spot… BUT if you want to try dishes with a little twist, prepared with love for a “lighter” dinner than this is the spot for you. 👌🏼😁 ENJOY!!

We had a extraordinary meal at Alter Esel. The restaurant is owned and run by a lovely couple that takes personal pride in offering a lovely atmosphere with cuisine that you don't expect to find in such a small town. The menu changes nightly and is limited in the perfect way, do things of highest quality each night with passion and each bite is sublime. We were staying in the town of Marktbriet with our 3 kids (10, 12, 15) and all five of us went for our splurge meal at Alter Esel. All of us felt that it was the best meal of the trip and one of my husband and my favorite meals in our Culinary memory, certainly our kids top meal.

Second time we go there. Aware of the concept, kitchen rhythm however should be improved, specially when it's a fixed menu.

Sensationell lecker! Wir haben das 4-Gang-Menü mit Weinbegleitung genossen und sind immer noch hin und weg... Das Essen war ein Gedicht - sehr vielseitig und aromenreich. Vom charmanten Service wunderbar serviert und durch interessante Informationen unaufdringlich bereichert. Absolutes Highlight war die wunderbare Sauce und das butterzarte Fleisch im Hauptgang sowie die fantastische Nougat-Creme-Brulee zum Dessert. Auch die Weine waren sehr passend zum Menü und wir haben in einem davon wohl unseren neuen Lieblingswein gefunden... Die Räumlichkeiten sind gemütlich, man fühlt sich wohl und muss keine Sorge haben ohne Anzug underdressed zu sein... Die Preise sind absolut fair gewesen. Das Restaurant liegt zentral im Innenort und ist leicht zu erreichen, wenn man am Main parkt. Das Menü wechselt, sodass es immer wieder einen guten Grund gibt, erneut auf ein Entdeckungsreise der Aromen zu gehen....

Sehr gutes Restaurant mit super Service und hervorragendem Essen. Tolles Ambiente und auserlesene Weine runden den angenehmen Aufenthalt ab. 100% Weiterempfehlung. Alles einfach top! Kleines up-date am 25.04 2025: wir haben wieder ein hervorragendes Menü genossen. Herzlichen Dank an das gesamte Team vom Alten Esel!
