3 Best Restaurants in The Black Forest, Germany

Background Illustration for Restaurants

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.

Kaiserstuhler Hof

$$$ Fodor's Choice
For quality dining and impeccable service, this handsome ivy-clad inn and restaurant, an easy stroll from the port, is the place to go in Breisach. You'll feel pampered from start to finish, from the elegant wood-paneled dining room sparkling with crystal and white linen, to the gourmet menu of market-fresh dishes: housemade goose-liver pâté or creamy cauliflower and white truffle soup to start, followed by tender roast veal with spring vegetables, sautéed monkfish complimented by a buttery shallot-wine sauce, or pasta and scallops with fresh basil coulis. The expert staff is delighted help you choose just the right pairings from an extensive wine list.

EigenArt

$$$

At this elegant restaurant inside a centrally located townhouse filled with contemporary art, the short but smart menus focus on regional ingredients prepared with a contemporary flair. Depending on the season, you might find local fish, Königsberger Klopse (German meatballs in white caper sauce), or veal cheeks with mushroom ragu.
