Restaurant in Bad Tölz, Germany
Michelin-recognised country cooking, €€ prices.
Jägerwirt holds the Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2024 and 2025, making it the most credentialled restaurant in Bad Tölz at the €€ price point. Run by Sabine and Alexander Springenschmidt, it delivers Bavarian country cooking with consistent quality confirmed by a 4.7 Google score from over 550 reviews. Book it as the centrepiece of any food-focused trip to the Isarwinkel region.
Yes, and the Michelin Bib Gourmand tells you exactly why. Jägerwirt has held the award in both 2024 and 2025, which in Michelin's own framing means exceptional cooking at a price that doesn't require an expense account. At €€ pricing in a Bavarian market town, this is the kind of restaurant that rewards the food enthusiast who has done their homework. If you're visiting the Isarwinkel region and want a meal that punches well above the usual alpine-inn standard, Jägerwirt is the place to book.
Jägerwirt sits at Nikolaus-Rank-Straße 1 in Bad Tölz, a spa town on the Isar river about 50 kilometres south of Munich. Visually, expect a Bavarian country inn setting: the kind of room where wood panelling, checked tablecloths, and practical furniture signal that the kitchen is the point, not the décor. This is not a design-forward dining room. If you arrive looking for minimalist plating on slate and a curated soundtrack, you are in the wrong place. What you get instead is a room that signals genuine hospitality without theatrical staging — and in the context of the €€ price band, that restraint is the right call. The experience is warm, grounded, and clearly built around the cooking of Sabine and Alexander Springenschmidt.
Country cooking at this level in Bavaria is a specific proposition. The Bib Gourmand is not awarded to restaurants that serve competent schnitzel at fair prices; it goes to kitchens that show genuine technical commitment and ingredient quality relative to their position. At Jägerwirt, the cuisine type is listed as country cooking, and Sabine and Alexander Springenschmidt are the chefs running the kitchen. Two consecutive Bib Gourmand awards suggest consistency, not a one-season flash. That matters for the food-focused traveller: you can plan a trip to Bad Tölz with Jägerwirt as an anchor booking and trust the standard will hold.
The €€ price range positions this restaurant clearly in the accessible tier. For context within the German Bib Gourmand set, this is the value proposition that makes the Michelin guide useful beyond its starred listings: real cooking, real generosity, without the four-figure bill. If you are travelling from Munich for a day in the foothills and want a lunch or dinner that will be the high point of the trip rather than a footnote, Jägerwirt earns that role.

The service philosophy at a Bavarian Gasthof at this price point is worth setting expectations for. You will not get sommelier tableside consultations or choreographed amuse-bouche presentations. What you get — and what the Bib Gourmand implicitly validates , is attentive, direct, and unpretentious service that keeps pace with the kitchen. In country cooking contexts, service that oversells itself undermines the proposition. Here, the format works because the room, the price, and the hospitality style are all calibrated to the same register. A 4.7 Google rating from 553 reviews is a meaningful corroboration: at that volume and score, guests are consistently finding the experience matches or exceeds the expectation. That is harder to sustain than a handful of five-star reviews on a quiet launch week.
If your measure of a good dinner is white-glove formality, Jägerwirt is not the right booking. If your measure is being looked after well, fed properly, and charged fairly, the evidence points strongly in its favour. For visitors wanting to understand the broader dining and leisure picture in the area, the Bad Tölz experiences guide and the Bad Tölz hotels guide are useful starting points.
Booking at Jägerwirt is rated Easy, which in the Bad Tölz context means you are not competing with the kind of demand that surrounds Munich's starred restaurants. That said, a Bib Gourmand listing in a town of this size does draw destination diners, particularly on weekends and during the Bavarian holiday calendar. Book ahead if you are planning around a specific date , a few days' notice should be sufficient on weekdays, but a week or more is sensible for weekend evenings in peak summer or the autumn season. No website or phone number is held in the Pearl database at this time; contact details are leading confirmed via a current search before your visit. For a broader sense of the town's bar and wine scene, see the Bad Tölz bars guide and the Bad Tölz wineries guide.
Two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards, a 4.7 Google score across 553 reviews, and a €€ price point in a Bavarian market town with easy access from Munich. Jägerwirt is the kind of restaurant that makes a regional food trip worth planning. Book it as your main dining event in Bad Tölz, not as an afterthought. The cooking is the reason to go; the price and the hospitality mean there is no reason not to.
Yes, clearly. The €€ pricing combined with two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) makes this one of the stronger value propositions in the Bad Tölz area. You are paying mid-range prices for cooking that Michelin has independently verified as punching above that level. The 4.7 Google score across 553 reviews reinforces that this is not a one-off good experience but a consistent standard. For the price, it is difficult to find a comparable level of culinary credibility in this part of Bavaria.
The database does not confirm whether Jägerwirt offers a formal tasting menu, so we cannot make a specific call on format. What the Bib Gourmand does confirm is that the kitchen operates at a level where a structured menu, if offered, would likely reflect that quality. For the €€ price tier, even an à la carte meal here carries Michelin-validated value. Check directly with the restaurant when booking to confirm current menu formats.
Specific dishes are not confirmed in our database, so we cannot recommend named plates without the risk of steering you wrong. What the Bib Gourmand award signals is a kitchen committed to country cooking done well: expect regional Bavarian ingredients, honest preparation, and food that reflects the season. Asking the staff for their current recommendations is the most reliable approach, and at a restaurant of this profile, the service should be well-placed to guide you.
No dietary policy is confirmed in our database. Given the country cooking format and the Bavarian regional context, the menu is likely protein and dairy-forward, which means plant-based or strict dietary requirements may need advance discussion. Contact the restaurant directly before booking if dietary restrictions are a factor. This is worth doing regardless of venue category when the cuisine type involves traditional regional cooking.
We do not have confirmed seating configuration data for Jägerwirt. In a traditional Bavarian Gasthof format, informal bar or counter seating can sometimes be available, but this is not something we can confirm for this specific restaurant. If a casual drop-in option matters to you, it is worth calling ahead or checking on arrival. As a Bib Gourmand venue in a modest-sized town, demand is predictable enough that a table booking is the safer approach.
It depends on what the occasion calls for. If you want a celebratory meal that is warm, personal, and backed by genuine cooking credentials without the formality of a starred restaurant, Jägerwirt is a strong choice. The Bib Gourmand positioning means you get quality and care without ceremony. If the occasion requires a very formal room or an extensive wine programme, a starred restaurant in Munich or the broader Bavaria region would be a better fit. For a birthday dinner, an anniversary in a regional setting, or a meaningful meal with close company, Jägerwirt earns the booking.
Group capacity is not confirmed in our database. In a traditional Bavarian inn format, private room or larger table options can sometimes be arranged, but this requires direct confirmation with the restaurant. If you are planning for a party of six or more, contact Jägerwirt well in advance. Groups visiting Bad Tölz for a broader trip should also check our Bad Tölz restaurants guide for alternative options that may have confirmed group facilities.
Bad Tölz is a small market town rather than a major dining destination, so direct local competitors at Bib Gourmand level are limited. Within the broader region, ES:SENZ in Grassau offers a step up in format if you want starred cooking in the Bavarian foothills. For Munich options at higher price points, JAN in Munich is a relevant comparison. If you are specifically looking for country cooking at a similar price tier, the Bad Tölz restaurants guide covers the full local picture.

Side-by-side comparison to help you decide where to book.
Jägerwirt's kitchen runs traditional Bavarian country cooking, which is meat and dairy-forward by nature. Vegetarian options are generally available at this style of Gasthof, but the menu is not structured around dietary flexibility. If you have strict requirements, call ahead — the Springenschmidts run the kitchen directly, so a brief conversation before booking will give you a clearer picture than any online source.
There is no confirmed bar-seating dining option in the venue record. Traditional Bavarian Gasthöfe at the €€ price point typically offer table service throughout, so your best approach is to book a table rather than assume informal counter availability. For solo diners, a standard table booking is the reliable route here.
Specific dishes are not documented in available venue data, so ordering specifics should be confirmed on arrival or by contacting the restaurant. What the Michelin Bib Gourmand signals — two consecutive years, 2024 and 2025 — is that the kitchen delivers cooking that punches above its €€ price point. At a Bavarian country kitchen of this standard, the seasonal and regionally-sourced plates are generally the ones worth prioritising over any fixed perennial.
Bad Tölz is a small spa town, so the dining scene is limited compared to Munich 50 kilometres north. Within the same country-cooking register and price range, Jägerwirt is the standout Michelin-recognised option in the area. If you are willing to travel, Munich offers a broader range including Tantris and Michelin-starred venues, but for value-focused Bavarian cooking in the region, Jägerwirt is the most credentialled option currently documented.
No tasting menu format is confirmed in the venue record. Jägerwirt operates as a country-cooking Gasthof at €€ pricing, which typically means an à la carte or daily-menu format rather than a structured tasting progression. The Bib Gourmand award validates value at that format — if you are specifically seeking a multi-course tasting experience, look at Munich's starred restaurants instead.
Yes. Two consecutive Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) at a €€ price point in a Bavarian market town is a straightforwardly strong value proposition. The Bib Gourmand is Michelin's explicit marker for good cooking at accessible prices, so the credential here directly answers the value question. For €€ Bavarian cooking with independent verification, Jägerwirt clears the bar.
It depends on what kind of occasion. Jägerwirt is a Michelin-recognised Bavarian Gasthof — the warmth and quality are there, but this is not a formal celebration restaurant with white-glove service or elaborate tasting menus. For a relaxed, meaningful meal with genuine cooking credentials behind it, it works well. For a milestone occasion requiring ceremony, Munich's starred restaurants will better fit that brief.
