The story

Esszimmer in Biberach an der Riß: Swabian Seasonal Cooking, 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand

Esszimmer sits at Ziegeleistraße 37 in Mittelbiberach, near Biberach an der Riß, where the kitchen cooks a seasonal Swabian menu and earned a 2026 Michelin Bib Gourmand for good quality, good value cooking. The restaurant has worked with regional produce and the Slow Food idea since 2013.

Cooking and sharing plates

Simon Kaiser, a Swabian, trained under Rolf Straubinger at Burg Staufeneck and later cooked with Johannes King on Sylt. The menu comes as small bowls in tapas style, though the restaurant is clear that the format has nothing to do with Spanish cooking. Guests usually order three to four bowls each, and fish, meat or vegetarian mains can be ordered as larger plates.

Room and hospitality

Sarah Kaiser runs the service and shapes the decor, drawing on her training as an art therapist. The Schlemmer Atlas awards the restaurant 2,5 Kochlöffel, notes vegetarian options and optional wine pairing for up to six courses, and says the living room can be rented for celebrations. Catering for events at home is also available.
