Die Speiserei im Maier

Speiserei im Maier is the restaurant of the family-run Hotel Maier in Fischbach, just a few steps from the shores of Lake Constance. Head chef Philipp Heid cooks to a clear, principled idea: a sustainability-driven approach that brings together regional and local producers, certified organic ingredients and Slow Food Ark of Taste products in a single, coherent menu.

The kitchen draws on the culinary worlds that circle the lake – recipes from Swabia, the Allgäu, Baden, the Bregenz Forest and the Appenzell region, reinterpreted through a contemporary lens. Whether it's a weekday lunch, a four-course dinner or a private celebration, the team works with craft, seasonality and a consistent point of view. Every dish has a name, a farm or a small producer behind it – and usually a story the staff are happy to share.

The dining rooms blend old character with quiet, modern comfort. Stone walls, pale wood tables and views onto the garden create a setting where good food can take its time. Voted one of Friedrichshafen's best restaurants on multiple occasions, Speiserei im Maier doesn't aim for spectacle – it aims for the kind of meal where produce, skill and hospitality do the talking.

Dine here and you get Lake Constance cuisine at its best: honest, grounded, contemporary – and always driven by the ambition to push tradition forward rather than simply preserve it.
