Fresh, regional and healthy cuisine

Endless silence, pure nature and fresh forest air are companions of our regional & seasonal, down-to-earth and daily fresh cuisine according to grandmother’s and mother’s recipes, which stand for a no-frills and honest enjoyment.

 

We cook every dish fresh for you after your order and use neither additives nor dyes or flavor enhancers. We prepare our soups and sauces for you using only the finest ingredients. Our jus consists exclusively of veal bones. Our spaetzle are pressed through by hand. You will look in vain for ready-made products and convenience.

 

Our cakes are all homemade, using only the finest butter shortbread and fresh ingredients.

If we take so much time and effort in preparing your dishes, it would be the greatest praise for us if you would also honor this with a perhaps somewhat longer waiting time.

 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change your order on Sundays and holidays, as this would considerably increase the waiting time for you and the other guests.

 

Treat yourself to a break from everyday stress – the time with us at the Scherrhof can be enjoyed so wonderfully …
