The Top 100 Restaurants Near Gasthaus

  1. Rank 1. Adler

    Modern French

    A four-generation family restaurant holding a Michelin star since 1990, the Adler sits in the Baden-Württemberg countryside serving modern French cooking with a Black Forest undertone. The room blends minimalist chic with regional warmth, and the kitchen leans hard into seasonal game when the moment calls for it. The sommelier runs a well-chosen, fairly priced list, which in a Michelin-starred room feels like its own quiet miracle.




  2. Rank 4. Mühlenhof

    Baden German

    Zwiebelrostbraten, the Baden classic of fried beef and onions in gravy, anchors a menu that reads like a very good argument for not leaving the region. This is a country restaurant doing old-school Baden cooking with care, from snail soup to pork fillet in mushroom cream, with a wine list that sticks loyally to local producers. The dining rooms mix cosy rustic with clean and modern, and there's a covered terrace when the weather cooperates.


  3. A family-run country restaurant in a village so quiet you'll recalibrate your idea of pace. The Neumaier family works both sides of the pass, with a mother running the floor and sons now cooking alongside their father. The menu leans into regional tradition with a seasonal eye, and the terrace in warm weather makes the rural setting feel almost unfairly good. Guestrooms are available next door if leaving seems like too much effort.


  4. Rank 6. Hirsch

    Regional German


  5. Rank 7. Die Reichsstadt

    Modern French

    High ceilings and period stonework set the room, though the kitchen reads thoroughly modern. This hotel restaurant in a handsome old Gengenbach property serves Baden-inflected French cooking, offered à la carte or as a multi-course set menu, with a vegetarian path through if you need one. The staff run the room without fuss. In summer, the garden fills up fast, and for once the reputation is not overblown.


  6. The dining room sits inside a lighthouse on the grounds of Europa-Park, which is either the most surprising or the most fitting setting for a two-Michelin-star restaurant, depending on your mood. Circular walls, shimmering gold organza, and deep armchairs make it feel like a very serious occasion. The chef runs two eight-course menus, one global, one vegetarian, both precise and grounded in regional produce. The service team is the kind that refills water without being asked twice.


  7. You book a ticket the way you'd book a theme park ride, choose your eight-course menu online, and arrive to be seated in a floating chair that ferries you through a sequence of theatrical rooms. Each one has its own atmosphere and matching course, and the whole choreographed procession lasts about two hours. Peter Hagen-Wiest directs the kitchen, and the cooking holds a Michelin star, so the spectacle has genuine ambition behind it.


  8. The half-timbered building beside the Brunnwasser has been growing its own vegetables and herbs for years, the kitchen garden tended by the chef and his father together. Inside, this Michelin-starred restaurant in the Alsatian countryside runs on local terroir: Rhine fish, Ried game, and whatever the garden is doing that week. The cooking follows the seasons without making a fuss about it, which is perhaps the highest calling of any Bas-Rhin kitchen.


  9. The terrace fills up fast when the weather turns, which tells you something about how Gengenbach feels about this place. A long-standing family-run restaurant, Ponyhof Stammhaus runs a menu that moves comfortably between old-school classics and more contemporary plates, with charcoal-grilled steaks holding down the anchor. The room is the kind that makes you order one more glass without quite deciding to.


  10. Rank 12. Le Pavillon

    Classic French

    Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the Black Forest like a painting you'd never hang because the original is right there. Le Pavillon is classic French fine dining inside the Dollenberg resort, where the chef builds five- to eight-course menus around exceptional ingredients handled with real restraint. Two Michelin stars. The wine list leans into the region and France, with a sommelier who steers you well through some serious rarities.



  11. A former presbytery in Endingen's Old Town, now a minimalist fine dining room where a Michelin-starred chef splits his attention evenly between Kaiserstuhl produce and a wider international pantry. The set menu runs seven or eight courses, with a vegetarian path alongside. The team tables their own food and stays to talk, which sounds like a gimmick until it isn't. House-made sauces and salts are available to take home, in case the meal wasn't enough of a souvenir.



  12. Rank 16. 1741

    Modern New American

    A Michelin-starred fine dining room sitting across from the Palais Rohan, named for the year that palace was finished. The chef trained under Robuchon, and the cooking is precise and quietly Alsatian, with the sauces doing most of the talking. A counter overlooks the kitchen if you want a closer look at how it all comes together. Hushed and polished, the kind of room where you instinctively lower your voice when you walk in.


  13. White walls hung with paintings and photography, parquet floors, wooden objects: Les Funambules is a Michelin-starred modern dining room with the calm confidence of a place that doesn't need to announce itself. The chef runs a single tasting menu built around sharp technique and exceptional ingredients, plated with the kind of clarity that makes you notice what's on the plate rather than the concept behind it.


  14. Umami is a one-Michelin-star restaurant tucked into Strasbourg's Petite France quarter, where the half-timbered scenery outside is aggressively charming. Inside, a single chef runs the kitchen alone, cooking market-driven French food laced with Asian influences, the kind of place where a Thai coconut broth or a wonton might appear mid-tasting menu without anyone making a fuss about it. A vegetarian menu is available if arranged at booking.


  15. Rank 19. Au Crocodile

    Modern French

    A stuffed crocodile in the window, a souvenir a Napoleonic soldier hauled back from Egypt, sets the tone before you're even seated. This is a fine dining room in Strasbourg with a Michelin star and a long, storied past, now thoroughly refreshed. The chef leans into classical French technique while nudging it somewhere more personal, which is easier said than done when the previous incumbent held three stars.



  16. Rank 21. Au Pont Corbeau

    Alsatian French


  17. Hand-cut alabaster lamps and upholstered chairs set the tone in this fine dining room inside Hotel Bareiss, deep in the Black Forest. The cooking holds three Michelin stars and has for decades, built on classic French technique with a quiet international drift. The pastry cart and praline trolley at the end suggest a kitchen that considers dessert a moral obligation, not an afterthought. Formal but never stiff, with service to match.


  18. Rank 23. Ondine

    Vegetarian

    A small creative restaurant tucked into the Petite France district, where the team cooks modern, mostly plant-based food in full view of the dining room. The sourcing is local and seasonal to a degree that borders on a personal philosophy, with natural wines and house-made kombuchas to match. The room is relaxed enough that nobody will make you feel underdressed for caring about what you eat.


  19. Rank 24. Schwarzer Adler

    Classic French

    A Michelin-starred restaurant in the Kaiserstuhl wine country, the Schwarzer Adler holds a wine list that ranks among Germany's finest, with a Bordeaux collection spanning decades of vintages alongside bottles from the family's own nearby vineyard. The kitchen leans classic French, with signatures like Bresse poularde en vessie for the table, while quietly letting modern instincts sharpen the edges. The room is cosy and composed, the kind of place where no one's in a hurry.


  20. A log-burning fire, wood everywhere, and seasonal vegetables arranged like a still life set the mood at this one-Michelin-star creative restaurant in Alsace. The chef, an Officer of France's Order of Agricultural Merit, builds tightly edited tasting menus around local and permaculture produce, the kind where spelt and wild sorrel do the heavy lifting. The natural wine list runs to 1,500 bottles, which is either liberating or paralyzing depending on your temperament.


  21. Alsace venison prepared two ways, finished with a grand veneur sauce, is the kind of thing that tells you exactly where you are and who's cooking. This is a two-Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant in Obernai where the kitchen works confidently within French classical tradition while quietly bending it. The petits fours alone, kugelhupf, cherry financiers, lavender honey madeleines, could close almost any meal on a high note. The service is warm enough to make the formality feel like hospitality.








  22. Rank 33. Usagiya

    Japanese



  23. Rank 35. Schäck's Adler

    Regional German


  24. A former joiner's workshop in Alsace that kept the wood and traded the sawdust for a Michelin-starred tasting counter. Chef Carole Eckert runs an open kitchen behind a long bar, cooking strictly seasonal, vegetable-forward food from the kitchen garden and local farms. The Scandinavian-spare room suits the cooking's precision, and the young team moves with the focused energy of people who mean it.


  25. Rank 37. Eichhalde

    Modern Italian

    The pasta sauce is sold by the jar, which tells you something about this Italian fine dining restaurant in a tidy Freiburg neighborhood. The chef runs a tight, ingredient-focused menu, mostly set courses leaning modern or traditional depending on your mood, with an almost entirely Italian wine list to match. The room is spare but warm, the terrace is small and lovely, and the kitchen holds a Michelin star.



  26. A village restaurant in a Kaiserstuhl wine town where the menu swings from Black Forest beef to burgers without anyone treating that as a contradiction. The kitchen leans on good regional ingredients and a weekly changing menu keeps regulars from going on autopilot. Michelin's Bib Gourmand reflects the honest value. The room has a modern-rustic feel, the service is warm, and in summer the garden pulls most of the crowd outside.


  27. Rank 40. Schwarzwaldstube

    Modern French

    Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the Black Forest valley at this three-Michelin-star fine dining restaurant inside the Traube Tonbach hotel. The kitchen, led by chef Torsten Michel, moves between classical French technique and modern invention without tipping either way, and the cheese trolley still makes its rounds, which tells you something about the room's priorities. Tasting menus run short or long, with a vegetarian option and à la carte for two.


  28. Rank 41. Hibiki

    Japanese


  29. Two rooms, one character: the Bauernstube goes rustic and the Kaminstube pulls up to a fireplace with Black Forest views framed in the windows. This is the relaxed dining room inside the Hotel Dollenberg, earning a Michelin Bib Gourmand for seasonal regional cooking that runs from local trout to a weekly set menu that regulars tend to circle straight away. The wine list is shared with the fine dining upstairs, which is either generous or a gentle temptation.


  30. The Zirbelstube takes its name from the Swiss pine paneling that lines the room, warm and faintly resinous, the kind of interior that makes you sit up a little straighter without feeling punished for it. This is a fine dining room inside the Colombi Hotel, built around French classics handled with real precision by a chef schooled in Michelin-starred kitchens, which this room now is one of. A set menu runs three to six courses, or you can order à la carte.



  31. A handsome old building in Freiburg's pedestrian zone sets the stage for classic-leaning fine dining with a Michelin star. The chef's Austrian roots show up quietly on the menu, and the game dishes, with their precise, deeply built sauces, tend to do the talking. Staff read the wine list as well as they read the room, which in a place like this is saying something. The terrace fills fast when the weather turns.


  32. A one-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant inside Freiburg's old town, where the kitchen skips truffle and foie gras in favor of strictly regional produce and makes a compelling case for it. Sourdough baked in-house, fermented notes woven through each course, and the chefs deliver the plates themselves, explaining who grew what. The combinations are genuinely odd in a way that works: venison with chervil root, quince with chocolate.


  33. Tucked opposite a tiny village train station, this Michelin-starred fine dining room runs on market inspiration and Alsatian instinct. The chef reaches for quail from the Vosges and game from the region, grounding each plate in what's nearby and seasonal. A shaded rear patio hides behind the building, doing its best to justify the name. The cooking is precise and personal, the kind of place where the menu shifts enough that regulars always find a reason to return.


  34. A half-timbered inn in a half-timbered village, which is either very on-brand or just Tuesday in the Kaiserstuhl. The family has been at this for generations, and the cooking follows the seasons and the region closely. Upstairs runs a four-course set menu with proper technique; downstairs in the vaulted cellar, flammkuchen and rump steak keep things honest. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and a pergola worth lingering in.


  35. Rank 49. Rebstock

    Regional German



  36. A winstub in the old Strasbourg sense, where the menu leans more Alsace bistro than museum piece: game terrine from the Ried, pikeperch with beurre noisette, a vol au vent that means it. The chef also runs Au Vieux Couvent in Rhinau, and the wine recommendations reflect that pedigree. Regulars have known this address for decades, and they're not sharing the secret loudly. A Michelin Bib Gourmand.


  37. Rank 52. Zum Rebstock

    Baden German

    A wood-panelled half-timbered inn in the Black Forest foothills, Zum Rebstock has been in the same family forever and feels like it. The kitchen cooks proper Baden country food, the kind where you'll want to order the "Versucherle" starters and desserts just to cover your bases. The wine list runs to around 500 labels, and the house cherry and plum brandies make a persuasive argument for buying something on the way out. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand.


  38. Ice cream made from roasted potato peel sounds like a dare, but that's exactly the kind of confident strangeness driving the seasonal tasting menu at this Michelin-starred restaurant in Freiburg. The team grows much of what lands on the plate in their own garden, and the cooking leans into honest regional ingredients without leaning on rusticity as an excuse. Cozy room, genuinely individual decor, and a quiet terrace out front. Wednesdays flip to bistro mode with a shorter, à la carte menu.


  39. Rank 54. Klösterle Hof

    Regional German


  40. Rank 55. À l'Aigle d'Or

    Classic French


  41. The fried carp fillets with horseradish cream have apparently become non-negotiable for regulars, which tells you something about the loyalty this place commands. It's a modern cuisine restaurant in a village outside Strasbourg, where the chef came up through some serious Alsatian kitchens before settling in here. Local foie gras, wild boar, and Alsace truffles sit alongside Cotentin lobster on a menu that travels without losing its footing.


  42. The Haeberlin family has been running this Alsatian inn beside the river Ill for generations, and it shows in the best possible way. A two Michelin star restaurant where the white tablecloths feel earned rather than stiff, and the welcome is warm enough to make a first-timer feel like a regular. Classic French technique is the whole point here, from foie gras terrine to salmon soufflé, rooted in Alsace and unhurried about it.



  43. Rank 59. Hirsch

    Baden German

    A warm-toned dining room with plenty of wood and a terrace that goes green in summer, Hirsch is a proper sit-down restaurant rooted in Baden cooking, the kind that keeps braised veal cheeks on the menu without apology. The kitchen leans on regional ingredients and classic technique, and the service is friendly without any performance about it. Strasbourg is just across the Rhine, so the guestrooms get their share of use too.


  44. A Czech couple who spent decades running a restaurant in Mallorca before trading the Balearic coast for the Black Forest wine country: that's the origin story behind the menu here. The dining room leans cosy and rustic, but the terrace garden is the draw in warmer months. Regional Baden cooking shows up alongside Mallorcan and Bohemian threads, a combination that sounds improbable and somehow holds together. A vegetarian set menu runs alongside the main card.




  45. Rank 63. 1789

    Modern New American

    A Michelin-starred fine dining room inside Hotel Traube Tonbach where the philosophy is restraint, not abundance. Chef Florian Stolte runs two six-course menus, one vegetarian, with a minimalist touch that lets Japanese influence drift quietly through European ingredients. The room is intimate and low-key for somewhere this serious about itself, and the front-of-house team is warm rather than stiff, which makes the whole exercise feel less like a ceremony.


  46. Rank 64. Rebstock-Stube

    Classic German

    Dark wood panelling and neatly laid tables set the tone at this family-run inn in a small Baden-Württemberg town. The Frey family has been at it long enough that the place feels inherited rather than designed, and the classic cooking follows suit: pike dumplings with lobster sauce, braised veal with house-made Maultaschen. The wine list rewards a look, the terrace rewards summer, and the local history museum next door rewards the curious.



  47. Rank 66. Gasthaus Sonne

    Regional German



  48. Tables at this Krutenau bistrot are famously hard to come by, which tells you something before you've even looked at the menu. Lunch runs as a set menu, evenings go a bit more ambitious, and the cooking leans into a quiet eclecticism that slides toward fusion without making a production of it. The dishes are fresh and sharp, the room is friendly, and the philosophers it's named for would probably have stayed for dessert.



  49. Rank 70. La Vieille Enseigne

    Alsatian French






  50. Rank 75. Gasthaus Adler

    Baden German


  51. Rank 76. Chère Amie

    Traditional French

    A grand old Prussian post office in the Neustadt quarter, now a spacious brasserie where the whole conceit, name, decor and menu card design, plays on the art of letter writing. The kitchen leans classical: sauerkraut, beef tartare, bouchée à la reine, lobster bisque. It's the kind of place where the room does half the work, and the traditional French menu handles the rest without asking too much of your wallet.


  52. Rank 77. Buerehiesel

    Modern French




  53. A spare, Scandinavian-feeling dining room near La Petite France sets the tone for what arrives on the plate: modern cuisine that leans on fermentation, smoke, and vegetable-driven sauces to coax ingredients into something quietly surprising. The chef blends Nordic and Japanese instincts with Alsatian produce in a way that feels considered rather than clever. Intimate enough that the kitchen's focus is almost palpable from any seat.


  54. Sitting on the bank of the Glotter River in the middle of a small valley village, Hirschen is a French-leaning restaurant with rustic timber rooms and a kitchen that has been cooking seasonal Baden produce for longer than anyone wants to admit. Game, asparagus, and chanterelles come and go with the calendar. The Baden wine list is long and the front-of-house team is the kind that remembers your face.


  55. The restaurant sits inside a contemporary hotel, where 18th-century walls have been fitted out in sleek lounge style by designer Jean-Philippe Nuel. The menu reads like a mood board of the current moment: sashimi, sweetbreads, sharing plates of whole fish or rib steak for groups who actually like each other. A display cabinet of pastries handles dessert for anyone who finds plated sweets a commitment.



  56. A little house next to Gundelfingen's railway station makes an unlikely home for an old-school institution, yet here the Falconnier family has been doing French and Mediterranean cooking long enough that the watercolors on the walls are by the owners' daughter. It's a proper sit-down restaurant, unfussy and warm, with a terrace that fills up in summer. Fish runs through the menu, from salmon carpaccio to grilled sea bass, and the braised beef cheeks draw the meat contingent.


  57. Rank 85. Zum Ochsen

    Regional German


  58. Rank 86. Winzerhaus Rebstock

    Regional German

    A traditional inn across the road from the family's better-known Schwarzer Adler, run by the youngest Keller son after time at Michelin-starred kitchens. The move back toward simplicity seems deliberate: regional German cooking built on quality ingredients and craft rather than elaborate flourishes. The courtyard terrace fills up on warm evenings, and the wine list leans on the family's own Franz Keller estate.



  59. Two farmhouse dining rooms dressed in old-school Black Forest detail, staff in dirndl, and a menu that runs on game from the hotel's own hunting grounds and trout from its own fish farm. This is the kind of cozy country restaurant where the beef roulade comes in Pinot Noir sauce and the apple cake is the punctuation. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, and the daily set menu is the move.


  60. Corten steel panels against a classic Alsatian façade signal that L'Imaginaire is doing something a bit different. Inside, the 1970s lean hard into thick carpet and swivel chairs, which is either kitsch or genius depending on your disposition. The chef trained at Lameloise and L'Arnsbourg, and the seasonal menus show it, running as surprise or à la carte. The front of house is sharp, and the wine list is the kind that quietly derails your budget.


  61. Rank 90. Steinbuck Stube

    Mediterranean




  62. A family-run restaurant on the Alsace wine route where choucroute shows up as a bacon-laced soup and duck gets the shepherd's pie treatment. The cooking is regional through and through, just restless enough to keep things interesting, and the wine list pulls almost entirely from local growers in the village. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand. Book ahead: the room fills with people who know the drill and wouldn't dream of looking at the menu.


  63. A country restaurant in a traditional building that has been feeding this corner of Baden-Württemberg for longer than anyone can comfortably remember. The menu follows the seasons and leans hard on regional ingredients, the wine list likewise. Homemade terrines and desserts are the things people mention when they get home. Guestrooms upstairs mean you can skip the drive back entirely, which the wine list quietly encourages.


  64. A terrace overlooking the garden sets the tone for this warmly run country restaurant in Baiersbronn, where the menu follows the seasons and occasionally wanders toward something a little less local. The kitchen table for six or more lets you watch the whole operation up close, which is either charming or terrifying depending on your party. Friendly, unfussy service and solid regional cooking make it a natural fit for a long, unhurried lunch.



  65. Rank 97. Der Engel

    Baden German


  66. Rank 98. Rössle

    Regional German


  67. Rank 99. Au Bon Pichet

    Alsatian German


  68. Rank 100. Acolytes

    Modern New American
