3 Best Restaurants in Baiersbronn, The Black Forest

Chef Florian Stolte creates beautiful dishes using international ingredients with an Asian twist in this one-Michelin star restaurant in the Traube Tonbach hotel. You won’t often find creative options such as Faroe salmon with miso and myoga (Japanese ginger) and lobster with cauliflower and ponzu in these parts of Germany (vegetarian options are also available), all served up in an informal atmosphere and paired with inspired wines or non-alcoholic choices.

One of several restaurants run by the team behind the five-star Hotel Bareiss, this hiker's hut is more moderately priced than many of the town's more famous Michelin-starred gourmet restaurants, but the quality of the regional specialties served remains high. It's the perfect place for coffee and cake or a simple lunch, and it's also open for dinner on Sunday; atop a 700-meter-high (½ mile) hill near hiking trails, it has loads of outdoor seating from which to enjoy the natural surroundings.

With a log-cabin look and traditional Black Forest architecture, there's little clue this restaurant is inside a spa hotel. Moderately priced dishes focus on local ingredients, including Schwarzwälder Schinken (Black Forest ham) and Zanderfilet (pike perch filet).
