Portions just right and service very forthcoming. And, medium rare is really medium rare just as rare was correctly served rare. Even in good kitchens, this isn’t always a given. Next time we visit family nearby, we will certainly return!

The village itself is worth visiting, I´ve promised myself to come back and do sightseeing. Apart from the scenic and charming Franconian settlement, Restaurant Rocus is THE magnet which draws those who love good food to Baunach time and again. Located in the tastefully converted building of the old station one finds a quiet and welcoming atmosphere. We came back to celebrate yet another birthday. The menu we had was Tatar vom Gelbflossenthunfisch mit Belugalinsen (Tartar of yellowfin tuna with beluga lentils) Schaumsuppe von der Petersilienwurzel mit Avocado und gebratener Wachtelbrust (Cream soup of parsley root with avocado and fried quail breast) Gebratenen Gänsestopfleber mit Aprikose an Membrillo und Joghurtschwamm (Fried foie gras with apricot on Membrillo and yogurt sponge) Mangosorbet mit Estragon und Cava (Mango sorbet with tarragon and Cava) Filet vom iberischen Eichelschwein auf Petersilienwurzelpüree and Trüffelrahmsauce und grünem Spargel (Fillet of Iberian acorn pork on parsley root puree and truffle cream and green asparagus) zwei Kugeln im Obstbeet (two spheres on a bed of berries) The pricing was more than appropriate. We chose the spanish red wine upon recommendation and our trust was well placed. A superbe choice at (again) a reasonable price. The spacing of the courses was delightful. Neither did one feel rushed, nor did hunger pangs make one pray for a hastening in the kitchen. In short words... impeccable service. The composition of the menu was great. Nothing to add. Do go and enjoy your visit. We intend to come back for the next celebration.
