Gently cooked char with cream jus, colorful cauliflower and cauliflower puree

Recipe
Fish

The Allgäu has more to offer than just Käsespätzle and Kaiserschmarren: This dish symbolizes the creative streak that has been lived out in the family business of the “Burghotel Falkenstein” for 100 years. Easy to prepare and wonderfully light, it makes the summer perfect.
