The Michelin Guide's review
Dating back to the 16C, Löwen is a lovely traditional inn that has been run by Tanja and Franco Körperich since 2019. She takes care of the service in the charming and elegant wood-panelled dining space on the first floor, and Franco is at the helm in the kitchen. Diners sit at elegantly laid tables to savour a surprise menu comprising four to eight courses, with vegetarian options available if pre-ordered. Top-quality ingredients go into classic dishes that draw on modern and international influences. A shining example is the gently barbecued and mildly spiced king prawn, accompanied by lightly sautéed buck's horn plantain and fine baby peas, all complemented by a tom kha gai beurre blanc with a wonderful aroma and texture. The chef-patron makes a point of offering guidance and presenting his dishes himself. In summer, you can dine al fresco in the pretty Steingarten on the opposite side of the street.
