To get to "Zum Blauen Engel", you pass through a pretty little garden and head straight for a historic wooden bar. If you look into the kitchen on the right, you will see Martin Krebs and his team at work, while the restaurant's dining room is on the left. You can't expect clean lines and modern design here, but it is romantically furnished in a brocante style. We order a veggie and a meat menu. Martin Krebs greets us from the kitchen with a brioche with waxed egg and truffle. We greet him back, the start is successful. For the vegetarians, we continue with smoked burrata and tartare. The meat eater gets a pink taco with an Alpine pike-perch tartare. The kitchen brigade is straightforward, many of the numerous components are the same in both menus: roasted endive, figs, diced kohlrabi, sea asparagus, blood orange and herb sorbet and a decorative flower. The starters are not only fireworks in terms of color, but also in the mouth. The vegetarian main course consists of a duo of purple cauliflower, roasted porcini mushrooms and a sophisticated leek and parmesan flan with verbena foam. The whole thing is topped with deep-fried angel hair, every bite crunchy. Meanwhile, only sighs can be heard from the meat eater: He eats venison in the form of crépinette and chamois pepper, accompanied by chestnuts, spaetzli and numerous vegetable variations. The playful menu continues with cheese and chocolate mousse with pumpkin seed oil and pretzels. We only share a cheese course with hyper-regional varieties and fruit bread. The atmosphere in the restaurant is now lively, even at our table. Pretty much everything is right here, we conclude.
