The story
Restaurant Scheune in Hammelburg anchors the culinary program of the Neumühle resort with a focus on refined Franconian cuisine. Awarded three spoons by the Schlemmer Atlas, the kitchen operates under chefs Dirk Abel and Michael Hübl. They draw inspiration from the nearby Saale river valley, relying on technical precision while letting seasonal ingredients stand alone without heavy sauces.
Diners at this regional table encounter carefully structured tasting menus, including the six-course gourmet journey offered for focused gastronomic visits. The kitchen sources local produce to craft dishes that mirror the immediate countryside. Guests navigate these preparations alongside one of the resort's extensive cellar, which stores over three thousand bottles of wine to accompany every course.
The dining areas occupy a lovingly renovated half-timbered ensemble situated directly beside the Franconian Saale. Patrons choose between the cozy Stube, the central Scheune hall, or the Ofenzimmer, where wood-fired accents support the afternoon coffee and cake program. Broad windows invite daylight into the space, maintaining a relaxed pace for guests enjoying extended meals.
