Chiemgauhof features a gourmet restaurant, late night beach bar and hotel…read more
The restaurant:
Especially outside in the Biergarten, the atmosphere is awesome. Underneath big trees you are invited to enjoy a panoramic view on lake Chiemsee with the alpine foothills in the background. While enjoying the fantastic view, you may want to have a look at the menu. It's quite big, so I'm sure you'll find something that fits your taste. They serve mainly bavarian food and - most importantly - fish that comes directly out of lake Chiemsee! The food I've had over the course of my many visits was always great. One important thing though: It's pricey. Actually, it's quite expensive. Maybe a little too expensive, even considering the great quality. It's nice to go there, but I would only recommend for a special occasion. You could leave quite some cash there if you spend a long evening. I will give a special recommendation to the blueberry pancakes with vanilla ice cream. They are Chiemgauhof's signature dessert dish and absolutely phenomenal.
The bar:
The "sundownder" Bar is an outside beach bar with many couches and some fire places. Again, the atmosphere is awesome when you're going there on a lush summer evening, sit by the fire as you watch it get dark on the lake. It's remarkable. The prices of beverages (alcoholic & non-alcoholic) still aren't exactly cheap, but definitely more reasonable than in the restaurant. Besides typical bar-beverages, they occasionally serve new, small brands of special kinds which are almost always worth a try.
Because I live nearby, I haven't had the opportunity to spend some nights in a room of theirs. What I'm being told repeatedly, though, is that the rooms are quite expensive and service is actually not that great... But again, that's just what I'm told. I'll leave the hotel part to somebody who has actually stayed with them.
