MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
This restaurant housed in the Hotel Schwarzwälder Hof in Freiburg's old town boasts a relaxed atmosphere and food that is by no means run-of-the-mill. The seven-course set menu on offer (which can be extended by a further two courses) steers clear of luxury ingredients, focusing instead on supposedly simpler, but high-quality and strictly regional produce that clearly reflects their philosophy of sustainability. This results in a plethora of highly interesting and innovative flavour combinations, such as fermented kohlrabi that has been cooked in salt dough served on a delicate kohlrabi tartare and finished with a bay leaf and apple stock, a pleasingly tart elderberry and caper vinaigrette and a sweet apricot ragout. The chefs themselves serve the dishes, talking diners through each course and providing information about the local producers of the select ingredients.

"We believe in the power of collaboration in everything we do. Our common love for what we do and for the South Baden region unites us with its many farmers and other producers, with whom we work closely. Apart from spices, coffee and chocolates, everything is sourced locally."
