The story
Haubentaucher, at Seestraße 30 in Rottach-Egern, is a European bistro directly on the Tegernsee, and it holds one Michelin Star for 2026.
Alois (Lois) Neuschmid makes everything himself, from bread and pasta to cakes, pastries and jam. Der Feinschmecker gave the restaurant 2.5 in 2026 and called the concept no-frills, executed by a true master.
Dinner is a four-course surprise menu, so the choices are the chef's. One version offered zander as a starter split across two courses. The main was flank steak and ox cheek, each shown in two parts, with bean cassoulet beside the steak and potato foam with the cheek. The team likes to finish plates at the table, which often starts a conversation. Wine pairing is available, and the list suits beginners and connoisseurs.
By day the plates change daily, usually a fish or meat dish, plus soups, salads and pasta. From 14:00 the kitchen turns to savory plates built on homemade bread, such as roast beef, fennel salami, or cheese and hummus. Cake and pastry can be taken away, and the coffee is hand-brewed highland coffee.
The bistro is bright, with large windows and simple seating. The terrace extends right into the water, which makes it a fine place in summer, and the lake views last all year. Astrid Weinberger leads the warm, attentive service.

Concept Evening surprise menu (4 courses) in a dream location directly by the lake, alongside a daytime lunch table and coffee and cake. Kitchen Style Alois (Lois) Neuschmid makes everything himself in his kitchen: from bread and pasta to cakes, pastries, and jam. In the evening, you have to embrace the chef’s choices – and you won’t be disappointed, for example with zander as an appetizer served in two courses, flank steak and ox cheek as the main course, also presented in two parts. Bean cassoulet accompanies the steak, potato foam accompanies the ox cheek. The chefs prefer to finish the dishes tableside – which often provides an opportunity for conversation. Wine A lovely selection for beginners and connoisseurs alike, with frequent new discoveries. Atmosphere Astrid Weinberger leads the warm, attentive service in the bright bistro. A fantastic terrace for summer, with excellent views all year round. Conclusion A no-frills concept executed by a true master.
Maritime gourmet bistro located directly on the lake, featuring simple seating, large windows, and a terrace that extends right into the water. 4-course surprise menu in the evening and daily lunch menu.
