Country kitchen

Sehmatal

About the restaurant

Seit nun zwei Generationen bieten wir Ihnen in der Gaststub zur Bimmlbah', hausgemachte erzgebirgische Speisen mit frischen Produkten aus der Region.

Hierbei treffen Oma´s Rezepte auf junge Küche und bilden damit das Herzstück der Bimm'. Erzgebirgische Speisekultur ist uns eine Herzensangelegenheit, die wir pflegen und bewahren möchten.

Die erzgebirgische Küche kann mit vielen Spezialitäten aufwarten. Die Zubereitung von Speisen und hauseigenen Rezepten sind über Generationen hinweg erhalten geblieben. Aus der Not heraus wurden aus der vorwiegend angebauten Kartoffel die schmackhaftesten Speisen gezaubert. Kombiniert mit Pilzen aus den Wäldern und viel Speck ergab das jedoch deftige, wohlschmeckende Gerichte.

Wir freuen uns auf Ihren Besuch!
Familie Jahn und das Team der Bimmlbah'
