The story

Feilmeiers Landleben in Vilshofen – Country Cooking with a Michelin Bib Gourmand

A Family Affair in Schwarzhöring

Just outside Vilshofen, in the quiet village of Schwarzhöring, Feilmeiers Landleben has been a destination for honest, thoughtful cooking since 2011. Küchenmeister Hans Feilmeier runs the kitchen with his wife Katrin, supported by their family and a close-knit team. The atmosphere is intentionally unhurried: a place to settle into a comfortable chair, let the conversation flow, and trust the chef’s instincts.

That trust is well placed. In 2026, Michelin awarded the restaurant a Bib Gourmand, recognising its consistent ability to deliver “good quality, good value cooking.” It’s a fitting nod to a kitchen that values substance and seasonality over flash.

Seasonal, Self-Made, and Rooted in the Region

The menu changes every three to four weeks, following what’s ripe and ready. Hans Feilmeier’s cooking is grounded in country cuisine but never predictable – he respects tradition while leaving room for modern touches. Everything possible is made in house: from the pasta rolled through their own machine to the marmalades, pralines, and Griebenschmalz sold in their Feinkost shop.

A recent five-course menu – priced at €92 – gives a sense of the kitchen’s range. It opens with a rosy slice of sous-vide veal steak, dressed with Parmesan-truffle sauce and crisp butter-toast crumb. Then come house-made asparagus ravioli in a spring herb foam. A palate-cleansing Senga strawberry granité leads into a duo of Black Angus – a tender fillet and a slow-braised backerl in Burgundy jus, served with hand-rolled basil gnocchi. The meal closes with a playful “Toffifee” of Piedmont hazelnut mousse, dark chocolate, and passion fruit.

For those who prefer fish, there is a dedicated three-course fish menu (€61), and a lighter three-course Landleben menu (€47) that includes a Bärlauch soup, braised Simmental beef, and a homemade Topfenstrudel with berry compote.

A Wine List to Match

The wine list holds around 160 bottles, mixing classics with trendier finds, and the team offers a curated wine pairing for each menu (from €39 per person). The approach is generous but never fussy – the goal is to help guests discover something they’ll enjoy.

More Than a Meal

Feilmeiers Landleben also caters private events, hosts seasonal dinners (including a 15th anniversary menu in March 2026), and offers a handful of arrangements like the “Almzauber-Menü” for groups or a romantic dinner for two. For those who want to linger, the adjacent Schwarzkobel Privatlodge provides overnight stays.

But the heart of the place remains the dining room: warm, personal, and quietly confident. Hans Feilmeier puts it simply: “Our claim in the kitchen and service is to give our best every day.” That consistency, backed by a Michelin Bib Gourmand, makes this a restaurant worth seeking out.
