3 Best Restaurants in Breisach, The Black Forest

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.

Though panoramic views of the Black Forest and Vosges mountain range from the lovely outdoor terrace are a bonus, a pleasant ambiance, friendly service, and good food served all day long complete the package. Whether you're looking for a coffee and pastry between sightseeing or a full lunch or dinner, it's all here: from a tempting selection of French and Mediterranean-inflected light dishes—quiche Lorraine, charcuterie plates, with chorizo, salami, and pâté, Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves—to homemade pastries and a choice of coffee, tea, and the local beer and wine by the bottle or glass. A hearty breakfast is available on weekends and holidays.

The loft-like space, bright, contemporary décor, and imaginitive pizzas, salads, and light pasta dishes—like tagliatelle with shrimp, zucchini, fresh tomato, and saffron or linguini with homemade pesto and shaved parmesan—draw a lively crowd. The restaurant's location near the old town and the late hours (it's open until midnight 7 days a week), also make it a much-appreciated night spot.
