Gaststube

The Krone in Hetschbach champions a creative "kitchen workshop" philosophy and presents a focused wine programme under Iris Wölfelschneider-Daab that highlights a dry Odenwälder Riesling, a red Burgunder and fruit brandies from the family's own harvest. The house holds a BIB GOURMAND distinction. Family-run and informal, the restaurant sits in an idyllic rural setting and pairs a cozy, welcoming dining room with attentive, professional service. Guests are invited to make table reservations. The kitchen works with carefully selected seasonal, regional produce prepared in a creative manner with clear French and Mediterranean influences. Menus comprise composed multi-course offerings and tasting menus at set prices that showcase fresh and sometimes unusual local ingredients, and the team can supply matching wine recommendations. Karl-Ludwig Wölfelschneider is the hands-on, ambitious and creative chef who still cooks himself. Specialties include seasonal tasting menus; saibling on bean and Grünkern salad with thyme cream; Rosa Kalbstafelspitz with asparagus, polenta and mushrooms; risotto with chestnuts, egg yolk and truffle; and lobster with avocado, coconut and curry.
