The Michelin Guide's review
In addition to its hotel and café, the Frankenbach family also runs Jean in this former wine bar. After working in renowned establishments such as Ikarus in Salzburg, Johannes Frankenbach (the third generation of the family) has been at the helm here since 2012. Even the name "Jean" (a French equivalent of Johannes) is a nod to his love of France, which is as much a part of his ingredient-led, Mediterranean-influenced cuisine as is his knack for creating fine aromas and flavour contrasts. This is accompanied by judicious and fairly priced wine pairings. The setting is also charming: half-height wooden panelling, elegant table settings, old photos... while outside is the pretty plane tree courtyard. The lady of the house waits on diners in a pleasingly friendly and down-to-earth fashion.
