The story

Aschbacher Hof: Bavarian Bib Gourmand in Feldkirchen-Westerham

Genuss mit Weitblick

The Aschbacher Hof sits in the Bavarian Voralpenland, surrounded by the kind of nature that feels almost too perfect – lakes, rolling hills, and the Alps on the horizon. For the Lechner family, who have run this house for five generations, this landscape is both a gift and a responsibility. They describe their home as a feeling of lightness and connection, and that sense of place runs through everything they do. Sustainability isn't a buzzword here; it's second nature, woven into every corner of the operation.

That commitment to quality and value has earned the Aschbacher Hof a Michelin Bib Gourmand for 2026, a recognition that rewards hearty, well-crafted cooking at fair prices. The Bib Gourmand is a perfect fit for a kitchen that draws deeply on Bavarian traditions while keeping things fresh and seasonal.

Bavarian Classics, Carefully Made

Under chef Heiko Obermaier, the menu changes with the seasons. In autumn and winter, you might find a slow-braised beef shoulder with Madeira jus and potato-chive purée, or a portion of Bavarian duck from the Lugeder Gutshof, served with apple red cabbage and potato dumplings. Game is a highlight: steaks from the roe deer leg come with juniper cream sauce, broccoli, and quark spaetzle. There are also lighter options, like a delicate trout tartare with ginger and soy, or a winter salad with roasted mushrooms, speck, and walnut dressing.

Every meal starts with two kinds of baguette, herb quark, and apple-grieben schmalz – a small touch that sets the tone. The wine list is equally thoughtful, with a strong selection of Franconian and Palatinate whites, plus champagnes and sparkling wines. The Aschbacher Hof proves that honest, region-rooted cooking – what the Bib Gourmand calls "good quality, good value" – is something to celebrate.
