Zur Tini @ Oberammergau, Germany

Oberammergau is a charming Bavarian town, known for its fairy tale frescoes, woodcarvers and Passion Play productions. Even the eateries demonstrate artistic flourishes, both within and without. If you're here in the afternoon, the country-style leberkase - essentially a browned pink meatloaf made of beef and pork - at Zur Tini makes for a satisfactory lunch.
