€€€Italian
With almost 200 years of gastronomic history to its name, this place has been in Italian hands for over 40 years. Following in his parents' footsteps, Franco Iaia now runs this ristorante with his wife Yvonne. With a tiled stove and warm wood, the inviting dining space is vibrant and charming. "La Piazza" is their lovely terrace shaded by mulberry trees. Highlights of the "cucina italiana strettamente classica" include homemade pasta, brasato and osso buco.

Ristorante Engel in Sölden offers Italian cuisine with generally positive feedback. Food quality is frequently praised as delicious, professional, and generous in portion size, with some calling it the best in the area. Service is mostly described as friendly and attentive, though a minority of reviews cite communication issues or less hospitable attitudes.

€€€Contemporary, Modern Cuisine
The beautiful landscape here is perfectly complemented by the elliptical shape of Luisenhöhe wellness and health resort, which gracefully blends into its surroundings. Inside, too, modern design and high-quality natural materials make for an attractive decor that pays homage to the region – that goes for the guestrooms, the spa and the restaurant. The latter has a pleasantly laid-back feel, and floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the Black Forest and the Schauinsland mountain – only the view from the fabulous terrace can beat it. Prepared in the open kitchen, the four-course vegetarian set

Kuro Mori is Japanese for"black forest", neatly capturing the "Black Forest meets Asia" concept here. In an open kitchen, modern dishes are conjured up from high-quality ingredients . Tempting examples include sea bass kinilaw with calamansi, carrot, tamarind and coconut, and veal – saddle and gyoza – with cauliflower, coriander, and pommes dauphine. The stylish urban setting is pleasingly laid-back, with striking details such as exposed brick walls and a cobblestone floor; the high ceilings towards the rear are especially impressive.

Kuro Mori offers a fusion of Asian and Black Forest flavors, featuring creative dishes like sharing menus and local wine pairings. While many praise the innovative presentation and taste highlights, reviews are mixed. Some diners report underwhelming main courses, inconsistent service due to staff shortages, and pacing issues. Although the atmosphere is generally pleasant, isolated incidents involving management behavior have negatively impacted experiences. The restaurant presents a high-risk, high-reward dining option where culinary creativity varies significantly between visits. It appeals to adventurous eaters seeking unique regional fusions, though those prioritizing consistent service and reliable flavor profiles may find the experience unpredictable.
Suitable for adventurous diners seeking Asian-Black Forest fusion, but verify service consistency beforehand.

Since chef-patron Amadeus Kura took over, this former wine tavern has had a makeover – with fantastic results. The traditional character of the historical building has been intentionally preserved, and combined with sleek, modern elements. The chef's culinary vision is just as contemporary: he primarily uses regional ingredients but also draws on international influences. Delicious dishes such as northern Black Forest salmon trout with peach, pepper and cashews, or veal loin with aubergine and polenta are available in the evening either à la carte or as part of a five-course set menu.

This charming farmhouse dating back to 1604 is truly idyllic! Set at an altitude of around 600m, it boasts a beautiful location with views of Freiburg. Inside, low ceilings, rustic wooden seats and benches, wooden floorboards and an old tiled stove make for a cosy atmosphere and tap into the character of the region. Dedicated owners Melanie and Pierre Barrel are in the thick of the action here – she heads up the friendly and professional service team; he runs the kitchen.
