Chiemgauhof features a gourmet restaurant, late night beach bar and hotel…read more The restaurant: Especially outside in the Biergarten, the atmosphere is awesome. Underneath big trees you are invited to enjoy a panoramic view on lake Chiemsee with the alpine foothills in the background. While enjoying the fantastic view, you may want to have a look at the menu. It's quite big, so I'm sure you'll find something that fits your taste. They serve mainly bavarian food and - most importantly - fish that comes directly out of lake Chiemsee! The food I've had over the course of my many visits was always great. One important thing though: It's pricey. Actually, it's quite expensive. Maybe a little too expensive, even considering the great quality. It's nice to go there, but I would only recommend for a special occasion. You could leave quite some cash there if you spend a long evening. I will give a special recommendation to the blueberry pancakes with vanilla ice cream. They are Chiemgauhof's signature dessert dish and absolutely phenomenal. The bar: The "sundownder" Bar is an outside beach bar with many couches and some fire places. Again, the atmosphere is awesome when you're going there on a lush summer evening, sit by the fire as you watch it get dark on the lake. It's remarkable. The prices of beverages (alcoholic & non-alcoholic) still aren't exactly cheap, but definitely more reasonable than in the restaurant. Besides typical bar-beverages, they occasionally serve new, small brands of special kinds which are almost always worth a try. Because I live nearby, I haven't had the opportunity to spend some nights in a room of theirs. What I'm being told repeatedly, though, is that the rooms are quite expensive and service is actually not that great... But again, that's just what I'm told. I'll leave the hotel part to somebody who has actually stayed with them.

Fabulous concept of getting everything locally or, growing it themselves. Menu good and seasonal…read morebut, flavour leaves a lot to be desired. Five stars for service and being accommodating but, food itself is three stars for me. Went here with some friends and we had high expectations but in the flavour department it was lacking. Mixing flavours like sweet, savory and sour is an art and unfortunately for me, this artist missed the mark on bringing all the fabulous ingredients in a cohesive meal. Quality of ingredients is exceptional but, blending of flavours not so much. My main course was a bit too salty and apple salad with a heavy steak just did not go together. The hosts were excellent and very friendly and we loved that. Perfection is possible with some adjustments here. High quality ingredients don't need too much added to them, simpler but intense flavours is better in my opinion.

It's a shame we only found this place at the end of our vacation, we would have gone to eat here every day. We've eaten at 7+ restaurants during our vacation, this one was the best by far.

Restaurant 5/5- The portions here are insane! I would recommend sharing plates (seriously!)…read moreeverything we ordered was great! And service was very attentive and helpful. You cannot go wrong here. Hotel 3/5 - we are staying here as well and I would say the hotel is just okay. The hallway smells a but like old cooking oil and grease. The rooms are not vented very well and even with the windows open it gets very warm. We are here in June. The rooms are clean so no complaints there.
