Enjoyment in Franconia – land of enjoyment
Franconia has a lot to offer gourmets – that makes the land of indulgence a wonderful holiday experience for all the senses. We recommend the restaurants that have been crowned with a toque or a star, as well as the hosts who have the “Excellent Bavarian Cuisine” seal of approval. A culinary journey of discovery through Franconia – the “land of enjoyment” is a warm invitation to enjoy. In every season, nature sets the table for gourmets in its own way. Fresh fish from ponds and streams, sweet temptations from Franconian bakeries, tender asparagus, pasture cattle and pasture lamb – there are many reasons why gourmets love Franconia. The Franconian culinary art also inspires the strict judges of the great restaurant guides: over 50 restaurants in the holiday region have been awarded a toque from the “Gault Mileau” or one of the coveted “Michelin” stars. The demanding testers were particularly impressed by the creativity of the top cuisine, which conjures up unforgettable culinary experiences from simple, traditional Franconian ingredients such as asparagus, black salsify or kohlrabi. The Franconian passion for regional and seasonal cuisine, the quality and the deep connection to traditional kitchens and pub culture is also the reason why numerous hosts carry the “Excellent Bavarian Cuisine” seal of approval.
