Her impressive career includes stints in some of the best kitchens in Germany and Switzerland. She completed her training at the Romantik-Hotel Goldener Karpfen in Fulda as the best of her year at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and gained experience in renowned restaurants such as the Tigerpalast in Frankfurt am Main and the Restaurant Überfahrt on Lake Tegernsee, both of which have been awarded Michelin stars.

The hosts of the Romantik Hotel zur Schwane, Eva and Ralph Düker, are delighted to have Fischer as their new head chef. With Fischer’s professional background and her regional roots, she is a perfect addition to the concept of the hotel and its restaurants. Their approach of presenting both high-quality regional cuisine and gourmet menus fits in perfectly with the philosophy of the hotel.

Fischer’s style, which emphasizes sustainability and the processing of whole foods, is reflected in her cuisine. She attaches great importance to using and refining all parts of food, which shows her respect for nature and culinary craftsmanship.
