Much to the delight of his guests, Andreas Hillejan, originally from the Lower Rhine, moved to Upper Bavaria some years ago. Here in the beautiful village of Mittenwald, at the foot of the Karwendel Mountains, he offers his own refined take on traditional pub cuisine, resulting in some really crowd-pleasing dishes. Take a seat in the pleasingly informal, simple dining room and opt for the "Wirtshaus mal anders" set menu or one of the appealing à la carte dishes. Before or after your meal, you might like to take a walk through the colourfully painted houses of this pretty historical town, which is renowned for its violin makers and climatic health resort – you won't have far to go, as the restaurant is very close to the pedestrianised zone.
