Baiersbronn · Germany
Hotel Bareiss
Fantastic sauce, truffle as the special touch. Ham and bread fall short.
Notebook
The Eggs Benedict
Ham ordinary and gets lost. Sauce fantastic and the truffles add that special something. Bread underneath without crunch or flavour.
Translated from my German notes.
A winter visit to the Bareiss, a good year and a half before the top score of October 2026. The heart on the room door says “Herzlich willkommen”, and the breakfast menu is already on the table.
On the plate
The basic ingredients are the same as later: ham, poached egg, hollandaise, truffle slices and parsley. The sauce is fantastic, and the truffles give the plate that special something.
Two components fall short: the ham is ordinary and gets lost, and the bread underneath has neither crunch nor flavour. In a dish of so few parts, that costs two points.
And later?
On the October 2026 visit, exactly this was solved: aromatic ham that plays with the truffle, and a hollandaise that rounds everything off. Full marks. That entry is linked below.
