Welcome to the vacation kitchen! The Olivenbauer invites you on a journey to the south. Enjoy the best recipes of the regional cuisine and the great magician that enchants everything: our first-class olive oil. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are specially marked! Our philosophy is to use simple, good, and natural ingredients, preferably regional and seasonal. An old house, a donkey named Olivia, and excellent olive oil... these are the ingredients and events that came together in 1998 when Rainer Jörg decided to buy the dilapidated house and turn it into an Italian restaurant in his hometown of Wertach. Shortly thereafter, the prototype of the Mediterranean transport, the donkey lady Olivia, found a new home with him. The local pizza maker also sought a new home, so it was time for the electrical engineer and entrepreneur Jörg to engage with Italian cuisine and the best ingredients for it. What would Italian cuisine be without olives and olive oil? High-quality olive oil has many positive effects on the human body and is simply good for us. The secondary plant substances in the oil help to capture and neutralize free radicals that accelerate skin aging. It also improves blood flow within the vessels, positively affecting cardiovascular diseases. The liquid gold of nature is indispensable in any good Italian kitchen. Even if Rainer Jörg cannot grow olives in beautiful Allgäu himself, the idea of good and beneficial Italian cuisine at the Olivenbauer was born. But you will also find dishes from Bavarian home cooking and vegetarian and vegan dishes in every house.
