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

WebsiteSophie 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.

WebsiteA really cosy place, where you will also eat very well: seasonal Swabian-Baden cuisine, with an emphasis on regional produce; some of the meat comes from the restaurant's own highland cattle. Some dishes are labelled ‘Naturparkwirte’ (nature park hosts). There are good wines to accompany your meal, as well as a special whisky offer. In summer, try and bag a spot on the terrace. Pleasant guestrooms also available.
WebsiteThe tastefully designed conservatory restaurant of the long-established Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa is a light and airy space with floor-to-ceiling glazing that affords a splendid view of the leafy gardens – and the terrace is, of course, especially inviting. In the evening, the classic and seasonal dishes can be enjoyed as a set menu or ordered à la carte. Vegetarian options are also available. A three-course set menu is served at lunchtime from Monday to Friday.
WebsiteThis lovely wine tavern may be somewhat hidden away in its pleasantly quiet location, but it is well worth seeking out – especially in summer, when the charming secluded courtyard terrace comes into its own. 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!
