Waldhotel Sonnora, Dries, Germany- September 2022. Probably the best meal I’ve had in Germany, and definitely in my top 10 in Europe. Fish dishes were slightly stronger than meat, and I know you can ask for an all fish menu, where scallop tartare replaces the iconic beef. Will revisit whenever I have the chance. I still dream of the rum baba. If I recall correctly, the menu was €258 plus a supplement of €46 for the beef tartare.
