The story
For over a century, Gasthaus Landbrecht in Haindlfing near Freising has been a place where Bavarian hospitality meets serious cooking. What began as a village inn is now a destination for fine dining, run by the Landbrecht family in its fifth generation. Chef Maximilian Landbrecht combines his Bavarian roots with influences from Swiss, French, and Italian kitchens, resulting in a cuisine that is both grounded and inventive.
The restaurant’s philosophy is simple: quality, freshness, and regionality. Seasonal ingredients from Bavaria are the foundation of every dish, whether it’s a reinterpreted classic or a creative composition. On weekends, the kitchen switches to “Wirtshausküche mit Pfiff” – hearty pub fare with a clever twist, served in a warm, unpretentious atmosphere.
Dining here means choosing your setting. The rustic Gaststube offers a traditional inn feel, while the stylish Esszimmer with its fireplace invites a more refined evening. In warmer months, the sunny terrace extends the experience outdoors. For larger celebrations, the restaurant’s Almhütte event space – a heated alpine-style hut – provides a uniquely cozy backdrop for weddings, Christmas parties, or corporate events, complete with a covered terrace and a crackling fire pit.
The Michelin Guide’s recommendation for 2026 recognizes the consistent quality that has made Gasthaus Landbrecht a local landmark. The 2026 Falstaff Guide also lists the restaurant, confirming its place among Bavaria’s notable addresses.
There is no menu trickery here. The kitchen’s commitment to regional and seasonal produce is evident in every course, from the spring asparagus weeks to the Easter and Mother’s Day specials. The restaurant’s “After Work” menu offers a relaxed way to enjoy the same quality in a more casual format. Whether you come for a romantic dinner, a family meal, or a festive gathering, the experience is defined by genuine hospitality and food that tastes of its place.
Gasthaus Landbrecht is a reminder that the best Bavarian cuisine doesn’t need to shout – it simply needs to be made with care, served with warmth, and shared with people you care about.
