Chef Florian Stolte creates beautiful dishes using international ingredients with an Asian twist in this one-Michelin star restaurant in the Traube Tonbach hotel. You won’t often find creative options such as Faroe salmon with miso and myoga (Japanese ginger) and lobster with cauliflower and ponzu in these parts of Germany, all served up in an informal atmosphere and paired with inspired wines or non-alcoholic choices.

Café Etoile

$
Though panoramic views of the Black Forest and Vosges mountain range from the lovely outdoor terrace are a bonus, a pleasant ambiance, friendly service, and good food served all day long complete the package. Whether you're looking for a coffee and pastry between sightseeing or a full lunch or dinner, it's all here: from a tempting selection of French and Mediterranean-inflected light dishes—quiche Lorraine, charcuterie plates, with chorizo, salami, and pâté, Greek salad, stuffed grape leaves—to homemade pastries and a choice of coffee, tea, and the local beer and wine by the bottle or glass. A hearty breakfast is available on weekends and holidays.
