Restaurant Überfahrt

Restaurant Überfahrt at the Überfahrtstraße lakeside hotel in Rottach-Egern on the Tegernsee is a three Michelin-starred restaurant led by chef Christian Jürgens. The Tegernsee is a pristine mountain lake in the Bavarian Alps, approximately an hour south of Munich, and the restaurant commands direct views across the water toward the surrounding peaks. The setting combines Alpine grandeur with the intimacy of a lakeside hotel dining room: floor-to-ceiling glass walls, natural materials, and a view that changes with the light throughout the evening. Jürgens has held three Michelin stars since 2013 and has developed a cuisine that draws deeply on the Alpine region's ingredients — freshwater fish from the Tegernsee, game from surrounding forests, Alpine dairy, wild mushrooms, and mountain herbs — treated with extraordinary technique and creativity. The tasting menu typically runs to eight or more courses and changes seasonally. Vegetarian menus are available. Wine pairings are comprehensive and feature exceptional Austrian and German producers alongside Burgundy. Service is impeccable — warm, knowledgeable, and perfectly timed. Reservations must be made months in advance, particularly for weekend dinner. The restaurant is open Wednesday through Sunday for dinner.
