Restaurants in the Black Forest range from award-winning dining rooms to simple country inns. Old Kachelöfen (tile stoves) are still in use in many area restaurants; try to sit near one if it's cold outside.
This inviting, albeit spectacularly expensive French restaurant, whose owners are from Alsace, emphasizes elegant, imaginative dining in a modern setting with floor-to-ceiling windows and an expansive courtyard, perfect for alfresco dining in summer. Dishes combine luxurious ingredients such as scallops, lobster, pigeon, and truffles with richly flavored sauces featuring red wine, bone marrow, orange, or juniper.
About a five-minute drive from the Franz Keller winery (and owned by the same family) this charming Michelin-starred restaurant and hotel serves up a mix of luxe international ingredients (such as Canadian lobster) and more local fish, meat, and veggie choices. Try the five-course set menus with wine pairings or the signature truffled chicken for two to four people—just come with a healthy appetite as the portions are substantial.
