The story

Ristorante da Mimmo in Rottach-Egern: Italian Cuisine at Gasthaus Zum Hirschberg

Ristorante da Mimmo in Rottach-Egern serves Italian cooking at Nördliche Hauptstr. 89, 83708, Kreuth, inside the guesthouse Gasthaus Zum Hirschberg. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the restaurant 2,5 Kochlöffel in 2026.

Chef and cooking style

Mimmo Lapenna grew up near Bari in Puglia and has cooked on Lake Tegernsee for more than 30 years. His first restaurant was in Bad Wiessee, and he moved to the Hirschberg in 2021. The menu changes every four weeks and follows the season, so asparagus, game and truffle show up as they become available.

Dishes on the menu

The Mimmo & Team selection has included tuna sashimi carpaccio with honey, lime and caper jus, and roast young chicken with pea purée and baby carrots. The three-course menu offers beef fillet with pesto jus, lamb with a herb crust and chard cannelloni, and ossobuco milanese with saffron risotto. Dessert options range from a gingerbread soufflé with warm chocolate sauce to beetroot crème brûlée with champagne sorbet. The kitchen notes that some dishes may be unavailable, since it buys only fresh produce.

Room and wine

The dining room seats 40 indoors, and in summer about 30 more places open outside with a view of the countryside. Tables can be arranged for groups, and the restaurant hosts birthdays, weddings and Christmas parties. The wine list leans on small estates, and the regular wine tastings with matching menus fill quickly. The venue is wheelchair accessible.
