Michaels Leitenberg

High quality cooking

A modern and stylish restaurant on the outskirts of the Chiemgau. Head chef Michael Schlaipfer has transformed his parents' and grandparents' traditional country inn into an upscale restaurant.

Concept At the family's former traditional inn, Michael Schlaipfer offers a tasting menu (5–8 courses), which can be reduced to 3–4 courses on Sunday lunch. Culinary Style Rooted in French cuisine with explorations into Japanese ingredients and flavor profiles, it follows contemporary culinary trends. The pantry features an international selection ranging from octopus and Sobrasada sausage to Limousin lamb, all presented with creative flair. Dishes like spiny dogfish with verjus and pumpkin seed oil play with acidity and dark, earthy notes, while lobster with apple, leek, and cress strikes a perfect balance between freshness and spice. Wine A selection of 150 wines from renowned producers, with some ambitious pricing. An exceptional wine journey complemented by interesting non-alcoholic alternatives. Atmosphere The dining room glows in shades of white and aquamarine, featuring reflective spherical pendant lights and classically set tables—a touch of modern Chiemgau that proudly embraces its rural roots. Verdict Refined dining experience within a stylishly updated setting.
