Restaurant in Feldkirchen-Westerham, Germany
Rural Bib Gourmand. Book before the drive.
Aschbacher Hof in Feldkirchen-Westerham holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025) and a 4.7 Google rating across 1,300 reviews, making it one of Bavaria's clearest farm-to-table value propositions. Chef Lis Hernandez delivers Michelin-validated quality at a €€ price point, and booking is easy — a rare combination at this recognition level.
The common assumption about farm-to-table dining in rural Bavaria is that it skews rustic to the point of roughness — hearty but unrefined, charming but not worth a special trip. Aschbacher Hof in Feldkirchen-Westerham corrects that assumption directly. Chef Lis Hernandez has earned back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025, and with a €€ price point and a 4.7 Google rating across 1,300 reviews, this is one of the clearest value propositions in the Bavarian dining scene. The question isn't whether Aschbacher Hof is good. It is: does farm-to-table cooking at this level, in this setting, match what you're actually looking for?
Aschbacher Hof sits at Aschbach 3, Feldkirchen-Westerham , a rural address that tells you immediately this is not a city restaurant with countryside branding. It is an actual farm property, and the kitchen operates from that premise rather than performing it. For food and travel enthusiasts who seek depth over theatre, that distinction matters. Farm-to-table as a concept has been diluted in urban markets to the point where it often signals aesthetic rather than sourcing. At Aschbacher Hof, the Michelin inspectors have twice validated that the cooking holds up on its own terms.
Chef Lis Hernandez leads the kitchen, and the consecutive Bib Gourmand awards in 2024 and 2025 signal consistency rather than a one-time surge of form. The Bib Gourmand designation is Michelin's specific recognition for meals that deliver high quality at moderate prices , it is not a consolation prize for restaurants that fell short of a star. At the €€ tier, Aschbacher Hof sits comfortably below the price level of Bavaria's starred kitchens, which makes the Michelin-backed credibility here genuinely significant for anyone doing the value calculation.
The 4.7 rating across more than 1,300 Google reviews is a volume-at-quality signal that most small farm dining operations don't achieve. A high score across a small sample is easy; maintaining it across 1,300 data points in a category where service consistency is often the weak link suggests that Aschbacher Hof has found a stable operating rhythm. For the explorer-type diner who wants both depth and reliability, that combination of a critic credential and a broad public record is a stronger signal than either one alone.
Service is worth addressing directly given the price tier and setting. Farm restaurants in this category sometimes lean into informality as a brand choice, which can read as warmth or as inattentiveness depending on execution. The sustained Google rating and repeat Michelin recognition together suggest the service here earns the price rather than undermining it , the Bib Gourmand is awarded to the full experience, not just the plate. At €€, expectations should be calibrated accordingly: this is not tableside theatre, but the evidence points to a kitchen and front-of-house that take the guest experience seriously at every service point. That alignment between price tier and service delivery is exactly what makes Aschbacher Hof a sensible booking rather than a gamble.
Timing and planning matter here. Feldkirchen-Westerham is in the Bavarian foothills southeast of Munich, making it a reasonable day-trip or weekend extension from the city. The rural location means this works leading as a deliberate destination rather than a spontaneous stop. Booking is rated as easy, which is a genuine advantage over comparable Michelin-recognised operations in Bavaria where lead times of several weeks are standard. If you're in Munich and considering a day out to eat well without the friction of a hard-to-secure reservation, Aschbacher Hof fits that brief better than most alternatives at this recognition level.
For context against the broader farm-to-table category in Germany, two useful comparisons are Au Gré du Vent in Seneffe and BOK Restaurant Brust oder Keule in Münster. Aschbacher Hof's dual Bib Gourmand sets it apart as the most formally credentialed of the three in current Michelin cycles. Within the Bavarian region, ES:SENZ in Grassau and JAN in Munich represent the step up in price and formality if the meal occasion calls for it.

For anything beyond eating, the Feldkirchen-Westerham experiences guide, bars guide, and wineries guide round out the picture.
The bottom line: Aschbacher Hof is a Michelin-validated, high-volume-reviewed farm-to-table operation at a price point that makes it one of the lower-risk bookings among Bavaria's recognised dining destinations. Book it when you want quality without a full-evening commitment to a multi-course tasting format, or when the starred options in Munich feel like more ceremony than the occasion warrants.
Quick reference: Farm-to-table, Feldkirchen-Westerham | Chef Lis Hernandez | €€ | Michelin Bib Gourmand 2024 & 2025 | Google 4.7 (1,300 reviews) | Booking difficulty: Easy.
Yes, a farm-to-table setting with an easy booking situation and an approachable €€ price range works well for solo diners. You're not committing to an expensive multi-course format or fighting a difficult reservation window. The high review volume (1,300 Google ratings at 4.7) suggests the experience is consistent enough that the risk of a poor solo visit is low. If you're in Munich solo and want a Michelin-recognised meal without the formality of a starred restaurant, this is a practical option.
Specific bar or counter seating details are not confirmed in available data for Aschbacher Hof. Given the farm property setting and the €€ price tier, the dining format is likely table-based rather than counter-forward. Contact the venue directly to confirm seating options. If bar dining is a priority in the Bavarian region, JAN in Munich or urban Munich options may offer more flexibility.
Specific dish information is not available in the confirmed data, so recommending particular plates by name would be speculative. What the Michelin Bib Gourmand tells you is that the kitchen delivers quality at a fair price, and in a farm-to-table context, that typically means the menu is driven by seasonal and local produce. Ask the team what is in season or what arrived that week , in this format, that question will get you the most current and relevant answer. Chef Lis Hernandez's consecutive Bib Gourmand recognition from 2024 into 2025 suggests the kitchen's output is consistent rather than dependent on one signature dish.
At €€ with back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards and a 4.7 score across 1,300 reviews, yes. The Bib Gourmand is Michelin's explicit marker for good food at moderate prices, so the credential aligns directly with the value question. For comparison, the starred restaurants in Bavaria , including ES:SENZ in Grassau , operate at significantly higher price tiers. Aschbacher Hof delivers Michelin-validated quality at a fraction of that cost. The value case is strong.
Menu format details are not confirmed in available data, so it's not possible to confirm whether a tasting menu is offered or at what price. In general, farm-to-table operations at the €€ tier in Germany tend to offer either a short set menu or an à la carte selection rather than a long-form tasting format. If a tasting menu is available, the Bib Gourmand recognition and consistent guest ratings suggest it would represent sound value at this price tier. Confirm the current menu structure directly with the venue before booking for a specific format.

What to weigh when choosing between Aschbacher Hof and alternatives.
Yes, and the farm-to-table format at €€ pricing makes it a low-risk solo bet. A Michelin Bib Gourmand two years running signals consistent quality without the commitment of a high-stakes tasting menu. The rural Feldkirchen-Westerham setting means the crowd skews local rather than tourist-heavy, which tends to suit solo diners who want food over atmosphere theatre.
Bar seating details are not confirmed in the available venue data. Given that Aschbacher Hof operates as a farm-to-table property at Aschbach 3, it functions more as a destination restaurant than a bar-dining venue. check the venue's official channels before assuming bar access — this is not a drop-in drinks-and-small-plates format.
Specific menu items are not listed in the venue data, so ordering recommendations would be guesswork. What the Bib Gourmand recognition does confirm is that the kitchen under chef Lis Hernandez delivers farm-to-table cooking at €€ pricing that Michelin inspectors found worth flagging two consecutive years. Order whatever reflects the current season — that is where farm-driven kitchens earn their keep.
At €€ with back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand awards (2024 and 2025), the value case is clear: this is Michelin-recognised cooking without the three-figure-per-head commitment. The Bib Gourmand designation exists precisely to flag good food at moderate prices, so yes — for farm-to-table in rural Bavaria, the price-to-quality ratio holds up.
Tasting menu availability and pricing are not confirmed in the venue data. At €€ and with a farm-to-table kitchen, the format may lean toward a shorter set menu rather than a full multi-course progression. If a tasting format is available, the Bib Gourmand recognition two years running is a reasonable signal that it delivers — but verify the format and price directly before booking a special occasion around it.
