Our Restaurant – Black Forest Flavour with a Story

Dining Where It All Began

Our restaurant is located in the oldest part of the house – the original building that has been the foundation of today’s Hotel Engel for over 150 years. Then as now, dining is at the heart of togetherness. Anyone who takes a seat here immediately feels it: these rooms tell stories – of hospitality, tradition, and the Black Forest way of life.

The charm of the past remains, thoughtfully reimagined for the present. The result is a restaurant that feels familiar without standing still – stylish, cosy, and shaped by a genuine culture of hospitality.

Black Forest Cuisine for the Whole Family

Regional and Beyond

We cook with what our region has to offer – down-to-earth, fresh, and always with great attention to detail. Our kitchen blends traditional Black Forest dishes with a modern, lighter touch. And of course, we think of our youngest guests too: child-friendly meals and a relaxed atmosphere where families feel at home are all part of the experience.

Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner – our all-inclusive services make sure everyone is well looked after. There’s even a step at the buffet so kids can help themselves to whatever they fancy. Naturally, there's also a daily “What kids love” recommendation from Happy. And if anyone gets a sweet tooth in between, the afternoon buffet has just the thing.

Our All-Inclusive Restaurant

Take a Seat, Savour, and Feel at Home

Whether at the family table, in a cosy setting or with friends – our restaurant invites you to settle in. For parents, children, grandparents – and for anyone who appreciates good food and a touch of authenticity.

The Black Forest Gâteau

Homemade with Love

A true highlight is our in-house Black Forest gâteau – made using the original recipe, with the finest regional ingredients and lovingly crafted by hand. Once you’ve tasted it, you’ll know: this isn’t a cliché, it’s a cherished tradition.

That our Black Forest gâteau is not only delicious but also world-famous is proven by its history: in 1998, under the direction of hotelier Fredi Boch, a record-breaking cake was created from 200 individual pieces – three metres tall and three metres wide. A true piece of the Black Forest that still lives on today.
