Restaurant in Hauzenberg, Germany
Michelin-recognised country cooking, easy to book.
Anetseder holds back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmands (2024–2025) for country cooking in Hauzenberg, Bavaria, with a 4.8 Google rating across 287 reviews. At the €€ price point, it overdelivers relative to most Michelin-recognised addresses in the region. Easy to book and worth the trip if you are within range of the Bavarian Forest.
If you are choosing between a polished €€€€ tasting menu somewhere in Bavaria and a Michelin Bib Gourmand meal at Anetseder in Hauzenberg, the decision hinges on what you value more: ceremony or substance. Anetseder holds back-to-back Bib Gourmands for 2024 and 2025, which is Michelin's signal that the kitchen delivers cooking worth seeking out at a price that does not punish your wallet. For country cooking done seriously in a small Lower Bavarian town, this is where you should eat.
Anetseder sits on Lindenstraße in Hauzenberg, a compact town in the Bavarian Forest close to the Austrian border. The address itself tells you something: this is not a venue that relies on a city dining scene to fill seats. It draws on its own reputation, sustained now across two consecutive Michelin recognition cycles. Country cooking at this level, in a setting this far from a major urban centre, requires a kitchen that earns its guests rather than inheriting them from foot traffic.
The visual register here is what you would expect from a serious Bavarian gasthaus that has earned recognition without losing its character. Think grounded, room-forward dining rather than the kind of architectural theatre that justifies a €€€€ price tag elsewhere. The setting communicates that the food is the main event. For a special occasion in the region, that clarity of purpose is a point in Anetseder's favour: the room does not compete with the plate.
The cuisine is listed as country cooking, which at Bib Gourmand level means something more precise than rustic. Michelin awards the Bib to restaurants that offer quality above what the price would suggest. Two consecutive years of that recognition confirms the kitchen has not coasted. Whether you are planning a celebration dinner, a meaningful date, or a business meal where the food should do the talking without the invoice becoming a distraction, Anetseder is a credible choice at the €€ price point.
For a venue like Anetseder, the multi-visit case is more interesting than it might initially appear. On a first visit, the priority is reading the room: understanding what the kitchen does with regional produce, how the service handles pacing, and whether the Bib Gourmand recognition translates into something that feels earned rather than historical. Country cooking menus at this tier tend to shift with seasons and supplier availability, which gives a second visit genuine reason to exist rather than just repetition.
A second visit is worth planning around a different season. Bavarian Forest country cooking draws on produce that changes meaningfully between summer and autumn, and again between winter and spring. What the kitchen does with game, root vegetables, and preserved or fermented ingredients in the colder months is likely to be a different expression from the lighter produce of late spring. If the first meal persuades you, the second visit should be timed to explore that contrast.
A third visit, for the committed regular, is about depth: testing the edges of the menu, exploring the wine list or regional drink options more thoroughly, and treating the venue as a known quantity rather than a discovery. At €€ pricing, three visits to Anetseder cost less than a single cover at a comparable Michelin-recognised €€€€ address in Munich or elsewhere in Bavaria. That value calculation makes the repeat-visit strategy genuinely practical, not just aspirational.
For special occasions specifically, Anetseder offers the kind of experience where the meal itself is the centrepiece rather than a backdrop to a grander venue production. A celebration dinner here will be remembered for what was on the plate. If your group expects a certain level of formal service theatre, that expectation may need managing. If you want serious food at a fair price in a setting that takes its cooking seriously, this is a strong call for the Lower Bavaria region.
A 4.8 Google rating across 287 reviews is a meaningful signal at a venue of this size in a town of this scale. It reflects consistent satisfaction across a broad cross-section of guests, not just specialist diners seeking Michelin credentials. The alignment between the Michelin Bib and the Google score suggests the kitchen performs reliably rather than in occasional peaks.
Booking at Anetseder is rated easy. The venue is in Hauzenberg rather than a high-demand urban market, which means you are unlikely to face the multi-week lead times common at Bib Gourmand addresses in larger German cities. For a weekend dinner, a week's notice should suffice in most cases. For a specific date tied to a celebration or public holiday period, two weeks ahead is a sensible buffer. Walk-in prospects at lunch on quieter weekdays are plausible, but calling ahead removes the risk.

Anetseder belongs to a small category of German country cooking addresses that hold Michelin recognition outside the major dining cities. For context on what that recognition looks like across different formats and price points, JAN in Munich, ES:SENZ in Grassau, and Schanz in Piesport each represent different expressions of serious regional German cooking at different price tiers. For country cooking in a comparable rural European setting, 21.9 in Piobesi d'Alba and Andrea Monesi - Locanda di Orta in Orta San Giulio offer useful points of comparison for what the format can achieve at its most ambitious. At the leading end of the German fine dining spectrum, Aqua in Wolfsburg, Schwarzwaldstube in Baiersbronn, Vendôme in Bergisch Gladbach, Restaurant Haerlin in Hamburg, Victor's Fine Dining by Christian Bau in Perl, Waldhotel Sonnora in Dreis, and CODA Dessert Dining in Berlin show how far the category stretches in price and ambition. Anetseder sits at the other end of that spectrum deliberately, and the Bib Gourmand says the trade-off is worth it.

A quick look at how Anetseder measures up.
A few days to a week ahead is likely enough. Anetseder is in Hauzenberg rather than Munich or Nuremberg, so you are not competing with a high-demand urban reservation pool. That said, a two-time Bib Gourmand holder at €€ pricing does attract regulars, so booking ahead for weekend tables is sensible.
Country cooking at €€ pricing in a small Bavarian town points toward relaxed, tidy dress rather than formal attire. Arrive comfortable and presentable — this is not a white-tablecloth tasting menu venue. Think clean casual: jeans and a collar work fine.
Hauzenberg is a small town, so direct in-town alternatives are limited. For other Michelin-recognised country cooking in the broader Bavarian Forest and Lower Bavaria region, check the current Bib Gourmand list for nearby addresses. If you are willing to extend to Munich, Tantris offers a very different register at a significantly higher price point.
Group suitability is not documented in available venue data, so call ahead before organising a party. For a €€ country cooking address in a compact town, larger groups should confirm capacity and any set-menu requirements directly with the restaurant.
Yes, at €€ with back-to-back Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition in 2024 and 2025, Anetseder clears the value bar clearly. The Bib Gourmand is specifically awarded for good cooking at moderate prices, so this is exactly the kind of meal it is designed to flag. If you are in the Bavarian Forest region and want a meal with independent validation behind it, this is the booking to make.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
