The story
Waldwirtschaft Großhesselohe sits in Pullach im Isartal, offering a focused approach to Bavarian cooking just outside Munich. The Krätz and La Rocca families manage the kitchen, preparing daily house specialties that balance rustic roots with refined technique. Guests frequently order the signature Kaiserschmarrn or share a well-curated Speckbrettl, both noted by the Schlemmer Atlas for their consistent execution. The menu also features roasted duck from Hofgut Schwaige and tender calf schnitzel, showing how careful sourcing defines their approach to Bavarian cuisine.
Situated on the high bank of the Isar river, the property offers distinct dining environments for every mood. The self-service beer garden provides casual seating under mature chestnut trees, while the adjacent jazz garden transforms the space into a relaxed evening venue. Summer evenings feature live bands playing authentic jazz alongside local beverages. Families appreciate the dedicated playground area, allowing parents to enjoy the riverside breeze without leaving children behind.
The restaurant maintains several private rooms designed to host everything from quiet birthday dinners to large corporate celebrations. Organizers work directly with the staff to tailor event menus and arrange seating layouts that suit the occasion. Whether planning a baptism, wedding reception, or annual company dinner, guests receive personalized coordination from start to finish. The dedicated banquet planners handle table settings and service pacing so hosts can simply enjoy the gathering.
