Ammolite - House of Light

★★ Michelin€€€€fine_dining

Part of Hotel Bell Rock, this beacon of gastronomy at Europa-Park is located in a lighthouse. The decor is refined and timelessly elegant – sheer organza curtains in shimmering gold and warm tones lend the circular room an intimate feel and a sense of calm. Seated in stylish armchairs at exquisitely set tables, diners enjoy attentive and adept service provided by a well-coordinated team. Chef Peter Hagen-Wiest presents two eight-course set menus: "Around the World" and the vegetarian "Green Forest". Both reflect his cosmopolitan outlook and, at the same time, his ties to the region.

Merkles Restaurant

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, International

Thomas Merkle runs this long-established family business with his wife, upholding a tradition of refined hospitality in the picturesque Old Town. The Endingen-born chef expresses his attachment to the region through his use of outstanding local produce, though his cosmopolitan outlook shines through in his choice of international ingredients. The "Einfach Merkle" set menu has seven or eight courses, and also comes in a vegetarian version. The robust onion essence, earthy aromatic mushrooms, delicately sweet onion cream and black garlic is a particularly striking combination in terms of flavour

Scheidels Restaurant zum Kranz

Bib Gourmand€€Classic Cuisine, Home Cooking

Conscious of their long family history (the restaurant is now run by the seventh generation), the owners here are committed to maintaining their traditions yet the food remains resolutely down-to-earth. Charming historic ambience, plus warm and welcoming staff. Simple, tasty dishes take pride of place, inspired by regional and seasonal produce. A vegetarian menu is also available.

Die Pfarrwirtschaft

Bib Gourmand€€Country cooking, International

This is not just Thomas Merkle's second restaurant, but a hotspot in its own right. The tasty food is wonderfully unpretentious and based on very good ingredients. Tip: Try one of the Black Forest beef dishes. The burgers are also very popular. In addition, the restaurant proposes an interesting weekly menu. Your meal here is enhanced by friendly and attentive service, a pleasingly informal vibe and a really modern aesthetic with a rustic edge. Needless to say, guests find themselves drawn to the beautiful garden in summer. In short, a place that fosters a feeling of well-being!

Zur Krone

Bib Gourmand€€Country cooking, Classic Cuisine

Set in a spruce country house, this establishment has been run with great dedication and a sense of tradition by nine successive generations of the same family for over 200 years. Taking its cue from the seasons, the ingredient-led cuisine is flavoursome. Asparagus dishes are served in spring, game and goose in winter. For those with a sweet tooth, the meringue with cream, vanilla ice cream and egg liqueur is a must-try! Food is served in the cosy interior or out on the gorgeous terrace.

Eatrenalin

€€€€fine_dining

A unique, almost futuristic spin on the fine dining experience! Using the online ticketing system in advance, you pick one of the two eight-course set menus – "Red Dimensions" with fish and meat, or the vegetarian "Green Dimensions" – and choose your drinks. Those who want add-ons can order either menu in the variants "Exclusive Dinner", "Champagne Dinner" or "Sommelier Dinner". During the 2hr "Eatrenalin Experience", on ultra-modern "floating chairs", you are guided through rooms with differently themed worlds, where tailored appetisers and dishes are served. Renowned chef Peter Hagen-Wiest i

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.4/5 · 80 reviews

Eatrenalin offers a unique immersive dining experience, guiding guests through themed rooms via moving chairs. The atmosphere is highly praised for its visual and sensory design. Food quality is generally high with innovative menus, though some reviews note issues like excessive sauce on specific dishes or delays causing missed courses. Service is mostly professional and warm, but occasional inconsistencies occur. While the concept is novel, some customers feel the value is low, perceiving it more as an expensive show than pure gastronomy. It suits diners seeking novelty rather than traditional fine dining.

Suitable for diners seeking novelty and immersive experiences who are not price-sensitive.
