Badenweiler Food Guide: 10 Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Badenweiler
Badenweiler is a health resort and spa in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district of Baden-Württemberg, Germany, historically in the Markgräflerland. It is 28 kilometers by road and rail from Basel, 10 kilometers from the French border, and 20 kilometers from Mulhouse. The permanent population is about 600; the nearest big city on the German side of the border is Freiburg, about 30 kilometers away. Badenweiler lies at the western edge of the Black Forest. It is sheltered by the Blauen, 1,164 m (3,820 ft), and the climate is excellent. Its parish (Evangelical) church (1897) was built at the foot of an 11th-century castle which belonged to the margraves of Baden and was destroyed by the French during the wars of Louis XV.

Excellent and traditional kitchen with modern elements (patisserie, molecular kitchen), but just right so quality and taste do not suffer. Not cheap, but excellent products and traditional cooking with a modern twist justify it. Nice ambiente on the Terrace - quality everywhere, from the furniture over the table cloths to the gardening. The best non-Michelin-stared Restaurant I have eaten at for a long time.

We did not stay at the hotel just went there for coffee and cake. Located on a quiet street, the coffee house on the first floor overlooks the front yard and across the valley to the vineyards on the opposite slopes. The room is richly decorated with small, tasteful artifacts and local paintings, as well as a large collection of coffee and milk pots, giving it a very charming atmosphere. The service is very friendly, coffee and the home-made cakes are excellent. A delightful place, and very peaceful and quiet, as it is off the main drag and not very large.

I really want to recommend this place and get it bumped up the list of top restaurants in Badenweiler, not least because it is German in a town full of Italian restaurants (why???) Good hearty dishes, massive portions, traditional decor. They also have a menu in English which is a bonus. I am suitably embarrassed by my terrible 'O' Level German and deserve to struggle with my 'Gutedelrahmsuppe' and 'tannengerauchter schwarzwalder schinken's but it was a relief to be handed a full translation!

Restaurant is in the center of small town, has nice outside sitting area. Quite a simple place, not luxury. But we enjoyed it as simple food was good quality. In the menu you will find pizzas, soups, many salads and schnitzel. We had goulash soup and pizza that were very tasty. Simple wine was decent. You have to pay only cash. Prices are low.

If you want to be able to choose from a wide variety of local food specialties and wines, this is the place to go. Friendly, competent in every way, efficient, knowledgeable staff. They chose a perfect local rosé to go with our various dishes. Cosy, warm welcoming atmosphere. They also cater to special food desires/orders of their clients! Everything is possible. Great place, highly recommended. Thanks a lot for your kindness and understand.

We went into this restaurant to have lunch. We'd been in there before once a few years ago and had been more or less the only customers and had only had a snack. This time the place was more than half full. We were taken into a back room, which, as such, was okay. But then the table next to ours got taken by our waitress's son, husband and assorted friends, and they were extremely loud. The kid kept playing with a new electronic toy. Well, not the restaurant's fault, of course, but still ... . It then took a good while before we could even place our order ... then we waited, and waited ... and waited ... the appetizer then came together with the main course ... the food was okay, nothing at all wrong with it, but nothing special either. The serving staff were all very friendly as such, but the overall experience was not satisfactory. We won't go back there.

I stayed at this hotel with my girlfriend while walking in the Black Forest. The staff are very helpful and the hotel has a popular restaurant.
However, please be aware that there is a cattle farm adjoining the hotel. Consequently, there was a major fly problem - I imagine that the flies are less of a problem outside of the summer months.

What can be better than going for dinner on a snowy white evening to a village inn/restaurant where the food is delicious and the decor soo very cosy??!! It was a wonderful experience....the snow outside and all the Christmas lights and Christmas trees, then the warm ambience inside. It has been in the hands of the same family for 250 years and has been a restaurant all this time. How can it not be cosy?? - Low ceilings, wooden beams, an old green enamelled furnace (don't actually know what it is called), a decorated Christmas tree, wooden Seating all around and old household items used in the decor. And, above all that, we had a delicious meal. I chose the menu - soup, main course and dessert for 26E. All perfect.
I cannot recommend the Ochsen enough. If you are ever in this area of Germany, I highly recommend you to visit.
I understand it is also a guesthouse, but, we did not see the rooms so I cannot say anything, but, judging from the restaurant, it must be a very authentic and special experience to stay here.

The restaurant offers food inspired by east asian cuisine. If you like this you will be well served here. Apart from a small list most dishes are announced daily on a blackboard. Good value for money. Nice surroundings, satisfactory service. To be recommended.
