Bottom line up front, this was a fantastic experience and the only negative note I will write…read moredoesn't take away at all from the overall rating of 5 amazing stars. This restaurant is certainly worth the Michelin Star it currently has. The castle that Röttele's is part of is a little drive outside Baden-Baden but well worth the €30 taxi ride to get there. Either take a taxi or stay at the wonderful hotel castle because you definitely should enjoy an amazing wine pairing and 6 course chef's tasting menu and no one should be driving after that much spectacular wine. We did the full 6 course but you can do less.... But why choose when you can have all six!? If we had tried to do fewer courses we wouldn't have been able to choose which to leave out. No dish was left wanting. Everything from the Asian seafood sampler to the fresh lamb was more than we could have asked for. And the pairings didn't miss a beat. Starting with a local Riesling from the backyard of the castle! Germans do know how to make great white wine. For pairings they weren't afraid to give credit where credit is due either. To match the tender lamb we got to sample an ample serving of one of the best Bordeaux I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. The menu changes daily to match what's fresh and in season so I won't go into too much detail as I'm sure the menu has already shifted with the changing weather. The only negative I have at all is the atmosphere was a little lacking at 6 PM on a weekday as they only had the back winter garden open. But within a an hour or so the place was packed and happy conversation replaced the missing music. The main takeaway is that Röttele's is an amazing experience and you should make every effort to get out there and try it.

I'm an American living in Germany. And Every time I eat here it's always a great meal. I love it!…read moreSmall in charming Kuhardt. I recommend all the meats!
