You can’t beat a quaint homely restaurant in a charming rural hotel. The Landhotel Grischäfer is set in the accommodation of the same name, a rustic beauty just 20km or so west of Kassel that has accessed all the medieval wonder of its building and created something truly impressive in a modern context. This is gourmet cuisine at its most down to earth, although those looking for something a little more down to earth absolutely must try the medieval eating option — costume included. A special experience this.
