The story
Gourmetrestaurant Dichter is at Aribostraße 19 in Rottach-Egern, inside the Parkhotel Egerner Höfe. The restaurant serves modern French cooking, and the Michelin Guide awarded it two stars in 2026 for excellent cooking.
Thomas Kellermann has run the kitchen as Küchendirektor since 2018. His career includes stints at the Tantris in Munich and the Ritz-Carlton Berlin. His cooking pairs classical roots with a lighter modern touch, and the menus change with the seasons and with the produce of the Tegernsee valley.
Der Feinschmecker describes dishes such as Tegernsee trout with smoked almonds, cauliflower and nutmeg blossom, and sweetbreads with dried apricot and thyme. Menus run from five to nine courses, and the five-course menu is listed at 218 euros on the current card. Each course is built around texture and temperature, with the kitchen aiming for a calm, focused balance on the plate.
Wood and stone give the dining room its warmth, and large windows open onto the park and the mountains. Marianne Wiedemann leads the service team, which stays attentive without hovering. The cellar holds an extensive selection of German and international wines, and a non-alcoholic pairing is available. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the restaurant five Kochlöffel for 2026.
