A farmhouse restaurant outside Pilsen that raises its own cattle, which means the beef on your plate was living nearby not long ago. The menu leans into that fact with dishes like beef ribs and braised tongue, all done in a straightforward Czech style. The room is properly rustic, the terrace in summer is surrounded by greenery, and there is a campsite if you decide the rural quiet suits you for longer than one meal.

A family-run country inn in rural Bavaria where the cooking follows the seasons and the host makes you feel like a known quantity from the first minute.

Two set menus anchor the kitchen, but individual courses can be ordered à la carte.

A Michelin-starred restaurant on the second floor of a department store is a sentence that takes some getting used to, but here we are.

The terrace adds sweeping views of the region, and the set lunch keeps things approachable.

A two-Michelin-starred fine dining room tucked into the basement of a wellness hotel in a Bavarian Forest village of a few hundred people, which is either wonderfully absurd or quietly brilliant. The chef runs a four-to-eight course set menu built on classical French technique, precise enough that every glaze and purée feels considered rather than fussed over. The wine list is well chosen, and the service is the warm kind, not the stiff kind.

The staff are the sort who seem to know everyone. Come summer, the covered terrace out front fills fast.

A fish restaurant inside the grounds of Třeboň's castle, where some of what ends up on the plate was recently swimming in the lake you can see from the terrace. The Michelin Bib Gourmand-listed menu leans heavily into carp, the regional staple, alongside lamb and game for anyone who needs convincing. Two linked rooms trade off by season: the elegant indoor Šupinka in winter, the simpler open-air Šupina when the weather allows.
