Hotel Schloss Matzen

This is not really a fully braided restaurant for hotel guests. The hotel has only a small number of rooms and the restaurant is mainly for guests to have breakfast. We stayed three nights at the hotel. Breakfast was rich in meat, cheese, fruit, cereals and bread. You can also have fried eggs or simple eggs. Very nice.

An incredible place to stay. Original old castle completely renovated. Only twelve rooms. It seems that the owner operates this more than a hobby. 30 rooms are its private domain. It is the most luxurious and interesting place where I stayed. If you have a chance, do it.

Food was fine. Lots of mosquitos drove us out of the place early. Food was as expected and location was great--we sat by the lake and had a great view of the castle. Convenient as we were staying at the castle.

The restaurant is very small, most likely 7-8 tables inside so a reservation in advance is advised. The menu offers a variety from local to international dishes. While we were studying the menu the chef visited our table and suggested to try the tapas menu which was a 7 course menu of smaller versions of the main dishes including a selection of the desserts. We tried the tapas menu and can recommend it without hesitation. Both waiter and chef were very charming, helpful and provided us information for each dish that we got. An advantage when having a small restaurant is that the staff really cares about every guest. The atmosphere is awesome, sitting in a 1000 year old castle, nice music and lovely decoration. Inside the castle is also a Boutique Hotel.

After the latest renovation, the restaurant offers a new A la Carte from its super chef. This time we tasted Tatar, various types of grilled meat with good French wine. Everything was perfect! The boss came to us to know our opinion, we were appreciated for it. The only message (as a suggestion for improvement) about the service in such high-profile waiters must be in uniform and offer guests “a level”. Anyway, we can recommend Matzen for everyone to have their perfect dinner.
