Sophie and Stéphan Bernhard have made it their mission to indulge the diners of this city since 1998. Now they operate in the Stahlbad, a beautiful 19C building and former spa hotel in the centre of Baden-Baden, and also previously home to a Michelin-starred restaurant. A delightful ground-level conservatory affords views of the verdant surroundings and converts into a covered terrace in summer. The classic French cuisine by the chef-patron, a native Frenchman, is as much in great demand as it ever was. The dishes are ingredient-led, clearly structured and wonderfully harmonious.

WebsiteThis interesting dual concept of coffee shop and restaurant is to be found in the picturesque pedestrian area. In the evening, the restaurant serves modern dishes by chef-patron Malte Kuhn and his team – prepared in the "hidden kitchen" behind a sliding wall. They skilfully pare things down to the essentials, making the ingredients the focus, as in, for example, the fantastic char poached in oil, served with a crustacean foam on leaf spinach and accompanied by fine trout caviar. You can also pick individual dishes from the three- to six-course set menu. A vegetarian variation on the set menu o

WebsiteThis restaurant boasts a fantastic location on Lichtentaler Allee, right next to the Museum Frieder Burda and Museum LA8.

Along with a relaxed atmosphere with rustic charm and friendly service, diners can look forward to an array of different flammkuchen, speciality mussel dishes and regional classics. The seasonal specials of the day are written up on a wooden board or presented verbally. The restaurant has plenty of regulars and is always busy, so it's advisable to make a reservation!
