Fine dining in the Black Forest: Restaurant Auerhahn

Restaurant Auerhahn stands for fine dining in the Black Forest with regional specialities, seasonal ingredients and compositions that change daily. Executive Chef Yann Bosshammer and his team serve an evening menu for hotel guests and – by prior reservation and subject to availability – for outside guests as well.

Instead of a permanently fixed menu, the season takes centre stage. Each visit can therefore taste different and reveal new produce, aromas and combinations.

What can guests expect at Restaurant Auerhahn?

In the morning the restaurant welcomes house guests for breakfast; in the evening it becomes a fine-dining restaurant. The kitchen team turns regional specialities and seasonal ingredients into refined courses.

The essentials at a glance:

  • Concept: a menu newly composed each day and changing with the seasons
  • Cuisine: regional influences, modern compositions and clearly recognisable produce
  • Kitchen team: Executive Chef Yann Bosshammer and his team
  • Guests: hotel guests as well as outside guests by reservation and availability
  • Vegetarian: a distinct vegetarian menu is listed on the current menu card
  • Reservation: by email to contact@auerhahn-hotel.com or by phone on +49 (0) 7656 / 1543

The menu is newly composed each day and follows the rhythm of the seasons. The kitchen thus stays close to the produce that is at its best right now.

How is the fine-dining menu composed?

At the centre is a multi-course evening menu that combines regional ingredients with modern culinary craft. Each course is part of a finely tuned sequence – from the first opening note to the sweet close.

Fish, vegetables and selected meat dishes are prepared with precision and accompanied by clear flavours. The point is not effect, but the produce, its origin and a coherent interplay on the plate.

As the menu changes daily and with the seasons, each evening may carry its own culinary signature. Which dishes are currently served, guests learn directly when reserving or on site.

Is there a vegetarian fine-dining menu?

Yes. On the published menu card a vegetarian menu sequence stands alongside the classic evening menu.

It includes, for example:

  • braised kohlrabi with ginger and sesame
  • radish tartare with tonka bean and carrot
  • confit celeriac with yeast and beurre blanc
  • glazed portobello mushroom with potato and shallot
  • lemon verbena with white chocolate and bergamot

Whether a fully vegan menu or further adaptations are possible beyond this should be agreed directly with the restaurant before reserving.

What distinguishes the restaurant from Brasserie Barbara?

Restaurant Auerhahn is designed for a planned fine-dining evening with a changing menu. Brasserie Barbara, by contrast, offers a freely chosen card by day and in the early evening, with classics, snacks, main courses and desserts.

The brasserie is open daily from 12:00 noon to 8:30 pm. Monday and Tuesday are rest days; on public holidays it is open according to the website. The card includes, among other dishes, beef tartare, mountain dumplings, celeriac steak, Backhendl and Black Forest gateau.

For a special culinary evening, Restaurant Auerhahn is the right choice. If you want to drop in spontaneously or choose individual dishes, the brasserie is the better alternative. Current information and menus are on the restaurant page.

How does the evening become a stay for pleasure?

Fine dining at the Auerhahn can be combined with a quiet day between nature and the wellness area. After a walk, time in the pool or a sauna visit, there is enough space to settle into the evening menu.

Outside guests can also dine in the restaurant. A reservation request in advance is required; confirmation depends on availability.

Frequently asked questions about Restaurant Auerhahn

No. The restaurant serves a new menu each day, whose contents also change with the seasons. The dishes shown online therefore serve as a current example and not as a permanently available card.

Yes. The published menu card includes a complete vegetarian menu sequence with several savoury courses, dessert and a closing note.

What does the fine-dining menu cost?

The fine-dining evening menu currently costs €109 per person. As prices and menu details can change, you will learn the binding menu price directly when reserving – at the same time you receive all information on the menu of the evening you wish and on possible additions.

When does the evening menu begin?

The fine-dining evening menu begins at 6:30 pm; seating is scheduled between 6:30 pm and 7:30 pm. As times can change, we ask you to have the time planned for your reservation confirmed once more before your visit.
