The best Alpine food in Germany, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide has weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Gasthaus Waltz comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Munich and Frasdorf.

Landhaus Tanner and Brasserie Cuvilliés hold the next two places.

Rank 1. Gasthaus Waltz
Modern Alpine
Serviettenknödel alongside cordon bleu tells you what this place is doing: Alpine cooking that keeps one boot in tradition and lets the other wander. It's a lively, casual restaurant in the Glockenbackviertel, run by a young team with a Michelin Bib Gourmand and a wine list longer than you'd expect. The summer terrace fills up fast. Leave the car at home, because parking in the neighborhood is an exercise in optimism.

Rank 1. Landhaus Tanner
Modern Alpine
A farmhouse restaurant outside Waging am See where almost everything on the plate was grown, raised, or foraged nearby, and the kitchen leans hard into the seasons. The room has a lounge feel that sits somewhere between cozy inn and quietly stylish, and the Slow Food membership is not just a wall plaque. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand. Hours shift with the calendar, so check before you go.

Rank 3. Brasserie Cuvilliés
Bavarian Alpine Bistro
A ceramic piece by Angelika Maria Stiegler catches your eye before the open kitchen does, which is a good trick for a hotel brasserie. This is the dining room of the Rosewood Munich, doing Alpine-inflected fare in a chic, unhurried space, with Wiener schnitzel as a permanent fixture and a lunch menu that changes daily. The Theatinerstraße is steps away, so the after-shopping crowd fills the room at noon.

Rank 3. Schlossanger Alp
Alpine
The terrace looks straight out at the Allgäu Alps, and in summer it's reason enough to plan your day around lunch. Inside, the restaurant at this Alpine hotel balances lodge-cozy with properly laid tables, serving country-inflected contemporary cooking that moves from pan-fried potatoes and braised ravioli through to venison and lobster depending on how ambitious you feel. The wine list is long and taken seriously.

Rank 3. STUBN in der Frasdorfer Hütte
Modern Alpine
A former hiking lodge on a wooded mountain top you reach by a 50-minute walk or a shuttle bus, which tells you something about the commitment level required before dinner. The open kitchen grills over an open fire, and the menu is short, either à la carte or a surprise tasting. Simple guestrooms mean you can skip the hike home entirely. The Michelin Guide lists it among its selected restaurants.
