Gault&Millau's review 2025

The restaurant "Leos by Stephan Brandl" in the wellness hotel Bayerwaldhof, picturesquely located in the Upper Bavarian Forest and not far from the border with the Czech Republic, combines tradition and innovation. Upon entering the modern interpretation of the "Stube", a stylish stage for culinary highlights unfolds. The courteous and competent service rounds off the ambience perfectly. Chef Stephan Brandl, who was successful at a young age with Jean-Claude Bourgueil and Heinz Winkler, brings his talent and experience to full advantage at the Bayerwaldhof. His dishes are characterised by precise craftsmanship and classic combinations, whereby Brandl's French cuisine is enriched quite independently. The leafy, juicy Breton turbot was able to convince by unfolding its delicate, buttery aroma in harmonious interplay with porcini mushrooms and kohlrabi. The first-class cheese trolley convinces just like the perfect apple tart for dessert. If you plan to use the well-kept wine list more intensively, you should book a room before the menu starts, because that saves a whopping fifty euros on the bill.
