The partner's word

Alter Esel is a family-run restaurant in the historic centre of Marktbreit, operated by Ramona and Markus Söder and housed in a restored 18th‑century listed building renovated in 1999. The team follows regional sourcing and Slow Food principles, naming local suppliers for bread, vegetables, bio‑lamb and poultry, fresh fish and cheeses, while Ramona curates a carefully chosen selection of Franconian and European wines. The house holds a Michelin Guide distinction (BIB Gourmand) and appears in Slow Food and the Varta guide; it provides tailored wine recommendations and private-event support that blend convivial, wine-led hospitality with seasonal, market-focused cuisine. A cosy ground-floor dining room and an upper dining room for private functions create a warm, informal atmosphere designed for relaxed enjoyment of food and wine. Cooking is market-driven and seasonal, concentrating on regional produce with modern, sometimes worldly presentations; guests choose the number of courses from a changing menu prepared fresh by the host, and wine pairings from Franconian and wider European producers are offered.

Specialties include Alblinsen tartare (Tatar von Alblinsen), Potato soup (Kartoffelsuppe), Halibut with gremolata crust (Heilbutt mit Gremolatakruste), Free-range chicken (Zweierlei vom Freilandhähnchen), Warm chocolate fondant (Warmes Schokoladenküchlein) and a cheese trolley (Käse vom Wagen).
