The story
In the heart of Passau, just steps from the cathedral and the old town hall, Zwo20 occupies historic walls with a unique atmosphere. Here, the team—Andrea v. Csiszer, Sophie Herzog, and Tamara Schmid—welcomes guests with a relaxed, high-standard approach to dining. The restaurant opened in October 2020, a brave launch just before a seven-month lockdown that the team met with creative takeaway concepts and a weekly "flight plan" of international cuisine. Today, their perseverance has earned them a Michelin recommendation.
The kitchen focuses on international modern cuisine with a fine selection of meat and fish dishes, alongside options for vegetarians and vegans. Standouts from the menu include the signature vegan Blumenkohl-Wings (cauliflower wings with red cabbage, fennel, sweet chili, and potato), Cordon Bleu, and a Yellowfin Tuna Steak served bleu—seared on the outside, nearly raw within. On Mondays and Thursdays, guests can explore the kitchen through a tapas-sharing concept, offering a selection of typical Zwo20 dishes in small bowls at a special price.
The space also hosts private events for up to 50 people, from birthdays to business dinners, and regular themed evenings like Truffle Nights and Gold & Glitzer Gala dinners. At Zwo20, the promise is simple: relaxed, high-level enjoyment in the center of Passau.
