Vogelsburg - Escherndorf

Sensational view, great hotel, super nice and qualified staff who do their job with passion. Rooms are excellent, modern furnishings. A visit is obligatory in the own restaurant. Will definitely arrive in the summer with a bike and explore the area. A visit to this beautiful house is simply recommended! Oh, jaaa, there is also one or the other wine... what can be more beautiful?!

Very helpful staff. We tried several wines from the region and had this great chocolate cake desert to go with the wine . Now I need to figure which wine I will bring home for my wife to try. They grow the grapes here ...it is turned into wine in Wurzburg.

We arrived in the evening to the stunning former monastery/ work house completely restored to its former glory. We had a table outside over looking the fabulous views of the Franconian vineyards. We were lucky to be in asparagus season spargel) so went for...the local dishes and a 5 course wine tasting. The local wine soup was outstanding and all the food was truly first class. The staff were professional, friendly and attentive and were clearly proud of their restaurant hotel. Highly recommended if your in this area it's definitely logged as a souvenir

We visited soon after the restaurant reopened. Hopefully our disappointment was a result of reopening pains. On the positive side, the restaurant has probably the best view of the Main Valley. As before the renovation, it is always filled to capacity. The redesigned outdoor seating...area has several safety hazards that could lead to serious falls. These are so obvious that it is hard to understand why they are still there. The wait staff was the usual mixed bag. Some employees are eager to please while others seem permanently annoyed by customers. They employed new electronic devices to take and manage the orders. Perhaps it was the lack of experience with them, but the order taking took about double the time that paper and pencil would. The menu is surprisingly limited despite the enlarged dining area and kitchen. Prices are somewhat higher than merited by the quality and service. Four of us met there to eat and each tried a different dish. While all were satisfactory, none stood out as anything out of the ordinary for Gasthaus fare. Portion sizes were adequate. I am reluctant to blame next-day digestive disturbances to a specific meal or place. Often there is no provable link. Let me just say that each of the four of us had the same unpleasant digestive symptoms the next day and the Vogelsburg meal was the only meal we took in common. Despite the splendid view and generally pleasant facilities, there were so many problems that I cannot rate this restaurant as even average.

In addition to the fantastic views, the food should also be mentioned. It is made from local cuisine and that in the highest quality. It is very nice to see how well the bond between gastronomy and local production can be implemented and what is created for great end products! The new concept facilitates the process enormously during the day, with consistent quality. (Have eaten several times there and will do it again. The speed has increased in my mind, the pommes for my daughter were at the place before I could sort the wine glitters and bring them to our table. [TOP] I can only recommend visiting the critical reviews here, in my opinion, seem to represent individual cases that I cannot understand as a regular guest (despite student budgets). Keep going!
