The story
In Künzelsau, the gourmet restaurant handicap. is part of a larger idea – the Hotel Anne-Sophie, founded by Carmen Würth. Here, people with and without disabilities work hand in hand, a principle that shapes every detail. The restaurant’s name is both a statement and an invitation: what others might see as a limitation is here the source of something extraordinary.
The kitchen focuses on Modern Cuisine, drawing on the best seasonal ingredients. The restaurant’s farm-to-table ethos ensures that produce is sourced with care and prepared with precision. The result is a menu that changes with the seasons, offering dishes that are both refined and honest. Every plate reflects a commitment to quality that goes beyond technique – it is an expression of the team’s shared dedication.
In 2026, handicap. earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a nod to the kitchen’s consistency and the dining experience it delivers. The award sits naturally alongside the restaurant’s broader purpose: to prove that high gastronomy and social responsibility are not opposites, but partners.
The dining room is welcoming, with a calm elegance that puts guests at ease. The service is attentive and genuine, carried out by a team that works as one. Whether you come for a full tasting menu or a simpler meal, the feeling is the same – you are cared for by people who take pride in what they do.
Note: During 2026, the restaurant’s regular gourmet service is temporarily paused due to renovations at the hotel. A transitional menu is offered in the same space under the name “Restaurant Würzburger Bau.” The full handicap. experience will return upon completion.
