Gault&Millau's review 2025

Since starting his own business in 2021, Domenik Alex has been consistently developing his own signature - and he is succeeding increasingly successfully. Well trained in Saarbrücken's Le Noir, Victor's Fine Dining by Christian Bau and the Wald- & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe, he is now back in the family business in Weißenbrunn, Upper Franconia, which has been a rural, hospitable business since 1886. At bare wooden tables in the simple yet cosy dining room, guests can expect sophisticated miniatures of modern design based on the best craftsmanship and with the same ingredients (Loch Duart salmon, Miéral chicken). Wednesdays to Saturdays start together punctually at 6:30 p.m., there is a binding, seasonally changing six-course menu on fine porcelain. The courses are highly precisely crafted and served with high aesthetics, but also know how to convince in terms of taste with intense aromas and textural contrasts as well as regional references, such as the Bamberger Hörnle in quark cream in whey-parsley oil broth with crunchy, tender potato chips and pickled onions. A pleasure!
