Our seasonal menu reflects the course of the year:

Spring starts with young wild garlic and delicate asparagus – the queen of vegetables – served classically with ham or combined with grilled salmon.

Summer brings light, refreshing flavours to the plate: gazpacho, colourful salads, bowls with prawns and the first chanterelles, heralding the transition to late summer. 

In autumn, pumpkin, mushrooms and game from the region find their way onto our menu, providing hearty warmth on cooler days. 

Winter brings festive classics with a sophisticated new twist. Look forward to crispy goose with baked apple, pink duck breast, chestnuts and braised ox cheeks. Of course, this is only an excerpt from our seasonal menu. Discover new moments of pleasure with each season and let our fresh creations surprise you.

What would a successful meal be without a fitting finale? Our dessert creations are the crowning glory of your culinary experience at Birkenhof. Whether melt-in-the-mouth, fruity and fresh or elegantly caramelised, sometimes light and airy, sometimes intense and aromatic, but always finely balanced. This makes dessert more than just a dessert.

And if you wish, a fine digestif from our selection will round off the evening perfectly.
