Zur Schoenen Aussicht Gaststaette

We were touring Germany and Austria on motorcycles and stopped here first after landing in Frankfurt. The landlord makes his own delicious beer and also cooks beautifully. Rooms were fine but stairs made bringing the motorcycle gear up and down a little tedious. Outside spaces for dining and drinking beer were very nice and this location is in the countryside which makes it quiet and peaceful.

Definitely the place in the Odenwald to go to and relax with family. Rooms are great and convenient and the food is fabulous. Special thanks to Peter and Birgit who run the place. I will definitely recommend.

I went to 'Landgasthof Zur schonen Aussicht ' for a family lunch on Christmas day and we were all very disappointed. We arrived quite early and not many other guests had already arrived. Our table was in the middle of the room, on the way to another room, so not very comfortable as people would keep passing around us. When we asked to have another table by the window, we were told that all other tables were booked. I understand that the restaurant was fully booked, but had ALL other guests requested the tables by the window? Usually restaurants give more choice to customers who arrive earlier... Then we were told that, contrary to what they had told us when we booked, there was no 'a la carte menu ', only a buffet. Who would want a buffet as a special treat on Christmas day? If we had wanted that, we would have gone to a hotel. Unfortunately, the restaurant staff had failed to contact us in advance to let us know they had changed their minds and would only do a buffet. The food was ok, but nothing spectacular. Service was also ok, although we hardly had an apologise from the restaurant, saying that indeed they could have contacted us in advance for letting us know of this change. Also, the buffet amounted at €38 per person, which seemed way too much for the service and food we had. The only positive thing is that the atmosphere and decorations was nice and cozy. I would not recommend this restaurant, there are lots of other nice places with great food in the region.
