They hang in the vaults two floors below the dining room, patron Jockl Kaiser's cuatellos: the finest in-house cured ham made from the best Swabian-Hallard pork, Kaiser's pride and joy. They are stored here for 30 months until they are allowed upstairs, in the room with the wood-fired oven and the view down to Nördlingen. You are then presented with a distillate, with the invitation to smell: fresh, woody, stimulating - rosemary. It is the non-alcoholic accompaniment that Kaiser himself produced with a distillery friend. In "Meyers Keller", things are done in the traditional way. It is both a gourmet restaurant and a pub at the same time - in the building of a former brewery that Kaiser's mother once ran. The cuisine offered by Jockl Kaiser plays with these two poles, aiming to challenge guests who have come for Maultäschle and show those who have made the journey to Swabia for the delicious Carabinero with peaches and buttermilk where every idea is rooted: in upscale home cooking. And it works. Also because Jockl's wife, Evelin Kaiser, is an outstanding hostess who, with as much cordiality as knowledge, shows the way between pub and gourmet cuisine right from the service stage. Of course, tavern delicacies are an absolute must, just like the homemade ham. But a real highlight comes inconspicuously disguised as a pre-dessert: the jamei cheese as a cream and sliced with a rice chip on a delicious elderflower granité. Here, flavors and textures mingle to create what a menu on the table predicts: fireworks.
Tisane is fine dining in a communicative way. When René Stein names a beef tea made from dry-aged bones as his favorite "drink", you can't help but look forward to surprises from the open kitchen.

The bar is the best place to sit. You can see the agile movements of the waiters, see the bottles and hear the ice cracking in the drinks. You're right up close. Maybe that's why Dominik Wachter made the bar a concept. Sitting on high bar stools, you can enjoy the snacks, as the amuse-gueule are called here. Right from the start, a bold interplay of textures awaits, such as the cabonico, the black walnut and the truffle, which have been artfully transformed into the shape of a walnut. With a slight crunch, it melts in the mouth in wonderful, woody flavors. Then comes the sourdough bread - the sourdough is eight years old. Salt, juiciness and roasted onions, a fitting combination. Winter is taken seriously here. This is Chiemgau, after all. And then it really pops. With salmon trout, of all things, which is not necessarily known for its subtle nuances. But together with Wachter's crisp quince and the fresh yuzu aromas, it takes the fish into a world in which it literally feels as comfortable as a fish in water. Sommelier Jonas Witt serves an Arinto dos Açores from 2024, which comes with a saltiness that nestles against the acidity of the dish like a pillow. Another highlight comes with the delicately cooked Chiemsee zander, which Wachter serves with pickled white asparagus on a beurre blanc with elderberries. The subtle acidity plays wonderfully with the fullness of the sauce. Desiree Nieder, an excellent patissière, deserves a special mention here as she turns the sweet finish into an aromatic firework.
