Ferienwohnung Schmid

This picture-perfect Baden country inn boasts tastefully designed, inviting guestrooms and serves excellent food. The owner's son-in-law runs the kitchen, serving up regional cuisine that showcases seasonal produce – dishes such as braised beef cheeks in a Burgundy sauce or saddle of venison with cranberries and spaetzle are especially popular. Putting the emphasis on flavour and proper seasoning, only the finest and freshest ingredients are used. Charming and professional front-of-house team.

After almost 30 years in Mallorca, Czech-born Martin Sklenar and his wife Lucie swapped the Balearic island for the vineyards of Oberkirch. In their restaurant, they propose an interesting blend of regional (Baden), Mallorcan and Bohemian-inspired cuisine. This is served in a cosy interior with a slightly rustic feel, or out on the wonderful terrace known as the Weinberggarten. There is also a vegetarian/vegan set menu. The ingredient-led dishes can be accompanied by your choice of wine from a predominantly regional selection.

The sort of restaurant you would love to have in your own neighbourhood. This long-standing family-run establishment delights guests with classics like cordon bleu, as well as contemporary creations such as scallops with pumpkin, curry and lemongrass – and, of course, excellent charcoal-grilled steaks. The menu, which features plenty of comforting soul food dishes, is complemented by friendly service and an inviting setting that makes it easy to linger. In summer, the terrace is divine. Unsurprisingly, this charming spot is also a popular choice for weddings.

This is the restaurant of the chic hotel of the same name, which provides the historical backdrop for your meal. The tasteful dining area is done out with high-end furnishings and a modern eye. Staff are friendly and professional as they set about serving you fine Baden classics, modernised French dishes, which you can choose à la carte or combine into a set menu – a vegetarian version is also available. The "Taste Menu" comprising six or seven small courses is also an excellent recommendation. In summer, the garden is magical!
