The short version

Kitchen verdict

Book Restaurant Überfahrt or Dichter for the big night, and use Il Barcaiolo and Egerner Bucht for everything else.

All three starred kitchens, Dichter (two stars), Restaurant Überfahrt and Haubentaucher (one star each), serve Wednesday to Saturday, so a Sunday to Tuesday stay relies on the hotel's other restaurants. Several are closed this autumn: the Bayernstube until 20 December, Restaurant Überfahrt on 8–17 November and Fährhütte14 on 12 November – 6 December. We could not read the casino's own menu, so the casino is not covered below.

At the Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt

Überfahrtstraße 10, Rottach-Egern, +49 8022 6690. Dress code is smart casual where stated, and dogs are not admitted to the restaurants.

Fine dining

Restaurant Überfahrt

1 Michelin starChef Cornelia Fischer

Cornelia Fischer has led the kitchen since the autumn 2024 relaunch. The restaurant won its star in 2025, retained it at the Michelin ceremony on 23 June 2026 and was named Feinschmecker "Restaurant des Jahres 2026". It reopened on 4 March 2026 after the renovation. The menus are "Die Reise" and "Spaziergang durch den Garten", changing with the season; Michelin describes two four-course menus, one vegetarian, plus à la carte, and names Breton langoustine with braised fennel. The official menu PDF is unreadable, so no prices are printed. The sommelier is Marie Christin Baunach and the manager Johannes Gahberger.

The Chef's Table takes place in the kitchen on the first Thursday of each month from 19:00: four courses for €198 per person including an aperitif, water and coffee, with a minimum of four guests.
