Restaurant Staader Faehrhaus (Konstanz, Germany)

Excellent visit to another restaurant in Konstanz - Staader Faehrhaus. https://staaderfaehrhaus.de/ Heavily focused on using local, in season ingredients and working closely with local farmers and fishermen (at this time it meant stone fruits, strawberries and mushrooms). It also reminded us how different the restaurant culture is in Europe with an emphasis on good food combined with competent, relaxed service without rushing anybody and all that at very reasonable prices. We had a 5 course tasting menu at $82 (including taxes and tips) and a 4 course prix fixe at $64 (including taxes and tips) which would have been double the amount in the US without the chance to relax for more than 3 hours (and excellent wines at <$10 per glass).
