“ We ran in out of a blustery, rainy afternoon, after taking a walk, and had a delightful quiet sit with cake and coffee. We were the only people there and I think they opened up a little early to give us somewhere to be out of the weather, which was very kind! Very friendly service and a beautiful atmosphere. Wish I could see it in summer - I'm sure it would be amazing. ”
“ A pleasant surprise... just out of the old town, slightly up the hill (don't worry, there's an elevator to bring you - and your "food baby" - down) with a splendid view in case you have a table at the window. The relaxed atmosphere (no large crowds here) and very friendly staff will make you immediately feel at ease. But the very best... is the food. Delicious! Definitely recommended! ”
“ Amazing view, nice food quality and friendly staff in a historical 'home/castle', worth the price for such experience! Note: it's not so cozy atmosphere for me, more formal/ business meal style ”
“ Absolutely top-notch experience across the board! The service was excellent — super friendly and clearly well-trained. Our server, Stefan, was especially great: attentive, kind, and professional. The food was delicious, and the portions were almost too generous for us to finish! We each had a starter and a main, then shared a dessert. Even the cappuccino and espresso at the end were really good. We sat outside with a direct view over Freiburg — just stunning (and yes we had a sun set). The restaurant is cozy without feeling cramped, so even when it’s full, the atmosphere stays relaxed and enjoyable above the city. Parking is easy in the nearby parking garage, just a 5-minute walk. Anyone visiting Freiburg should definitely stop by. They also have a lovely beer garden with smaller, local dishes — perfect for a more casual meal or smaller budget. Highly recommended! ”
“ Amazing restaurant, wonderful position ”
“ Restaurant is located at the mountain and it has terrace with a nice view to the city from it. The food is also very nice - delicious and various. We liked castanea served with meet and a kumquat as a dessert. All meals were served in a buffet and we could take whatever we like. ”
