Perched high on the mountain, you're offered sweeping views of Freiburg & its surrounding Black Forest, while you get to consume the most delish German gourmet food around. ( Not sure what the other reviewer meant by French food b/c the Mr - who is German - said this was most definitely German cuisine & not French....but what do I know? You should just come here & decide for yourself ) We drove here but there is also a small gondola-type thing that will bring walkers up the hill as well - we got to see it making trips up & down throughout our evening. Also got to see people out walking or playing fetch w/ their dogs in the flowery fields below & w/ Dattler's panoramic windows granting access to the whole valley, we sure felt as if we were in a picture book Appetizers included: Consommé w/ dumplings. Extremely good & the clear meaty broth complimented the little meaty dumplings. Asparagus Mousse w/ Fried Asparagus Spears & Salad. Outstanding! The asparagus was firm & cooked perfectly so that there was still a bit of crunch & no hint of slimy or stringy. Mains included: Risotto - this version was made from white rice & was paired w/ green & white asparagus. Absolutely delish w/ its creamy Parmesan sauce & again, the asparagus was cooked just perfectly Sander (Pike) Fillets w/ Mashed Potatoes for Mom. Beef Entrecôte w/ Frites for Dad. Both said the Frites were the best they had ever had Desserts included: Sorbet Assortment for Daddy - He liked mango best. Lemon & raspberry were also part of the assortment & he liked them as well...but he loved the mango Banana split for Mom. She loved the chocolate sauce. Mr & I got the Nut Ice Cream w/ Eggnog Liquor. Super awesome - we really liked the hazelnut taste w/ the eggnog bite of the liquor Nice cognac to end the evening & see the city lights twinkle

It costs € 2.80 one-way or € 5 return, but there are also family rates.

Another Freiburg hipster cafe, this time right on the other side if the train tracks from the…read morealtstadt side. Situated in a residential area an opens at 8 already. I was there at 8.30ish and compared to cafes in Stockholm (or other large Swedish cities) it was quite empty. Giving the impression that Germans seem less keen on having breakfasts out. The different breakfasts I chose were really lovely in their own way. No1 was coffee of choice, freshly squeezed orange juice and breadroll with hummus and marinated artichokes. Lots of flavours and very very filling so lunch wasn't really an option that day. The no2 breakfast on the menu was coffee of choice, fresh juice and fruit muesli with non-dairy milk products of choice. Nice and breakfasty as expected. Unfortunately the coffee was the only negative both days, most cafes that use soy milk in Germany do it very well, Huber doesn't quite master the art and the soy cappuccino resp latte had an unfortunate soy tang. (Different baristas.) I would have loved to try their lunch options too, but time didn't permit. Also beware that the kitchen is open in the middle of the cafe and the ventilation isn't very effective. Your clothes and hair will most likely smell of fried onion and cabbage when you leave the place after breakfast. Friendly staff. Cash only.

We knew we were in for a treat! Appetizers for all included the Asparagus Soup - this was a very creamy soup w/ little hunks of asparagus. Slight spice but the cream & asparagus flavors took center stage. Delish! The Mr & I chose the Gnocchi w/ Cream Sauce & Asparagus - perfectly cooked white asparagus spears & little pillows were tender, w/ just a bit of chew but not doughy. Delish! Dad chose the Whole Baked Trout w/ mixed Salad & said it was flaky & moist & cooked just perfectly Mom chose the Veal Medallions in a creamy mushroom sauce w/ Spaetzle - she said the beef was super tender & she loved the tender spaetzle that soaked up all the sauce Desserts included the Elderberry Sorbet for Dad - very pungent & flavorful. Dad said it was completely refreshing & hit the spot Mon chose the Assorted Chocolate Mousse - white, dark & milk chocolate mousses paired w/ a raspberry coulis. She loved it & wouldn't even think to share - and this was saying something! The Mr chose the Semolina Pudding served in a small glass w/ a raspberry coulis on top - said it was custardy & delish This was a fantastic welcome to Freiburg & a perfect cap on another perfect day touring Germany

Brennessel is a student favorite in Freiburg, primarily for its EUR1.80 spaghetti bolognese,…read moreavailable at that price from 6pm to 7:30pm (it's EUR3.50 otherwise). The other dishes aren't expensive, but they don't provide great value, either. The pork chop can be somewhat overcooked and only a little cheaper than at other places. Service can be halfway decent sometimes, at other times inattentive and even a little rude. The beer on tap is, unfortunately, Ganter's various forms of slough-water, though they also have Guinness (strangely, you can't get a whole pint, though). I've never tried the Guinness here. They also serve some other beers out of bottles. It's not a bad place for a student restaurant/bar, but it's not a place to look for unless you want to spend almost nothing on a Bolognese. That's what brings most people, and that's all I'd recommend them for.
