The story
Restaurant Grüner Baum in Hersbruck anchors its regional German cuisine in the quiet Sittenbachtal valley. The property operates as a family run gasthof. Local traditions blend with everyday comfort across several wooden lounges. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the establishment two spoons in 2026 for maintaining that balance between rustic charm and reliable cooking. Guests move through the interior seating areas or step onto a terrace overlooking the farmland.
The kitchen shifts its focus with the calendar. Fresh white asparagus arrives in spring and pairs easily with a crisp Scheurebe from Sommeracher Katzenkopf. Winter brings an oven fresh goose served with potato dumplings during the first Sunday of Advent. Every plate reflects the standard of a traditional Bavarian kitchen that prioritizes seasonal produce. Mussel evenings in January continue that same straightforward approach to shellfish preparation.
Thick timber beams create a steady backdrop inside the main building. Large windows frame the garden path and lead to an extendable sunshade over the outdoor terrace. Sommelier Simone Eberhard curates the wine list from Regensburg, recommending bottles that complement heavier meat plates. Children’s menus feature breaded cutlets at a flat rate, keeping the space relaxed for families exploring the local cuisine.
