The story

Ösch Noir – Two Michelin Stars in Donaueschingen, Germany

A Modern Classic in the Black Forest

At the Öschberghof resort in Donaueschingen, Ösch Noir has earned its place among the world’s finest restaurants. Since receiving its first Michelin star in 2020 and a second the following year, the restaurant has consistently confirmed its two-star status, most recently in the 2025 guide. This recognition places it among the top 50 restaurants in Germany.

The Kitchen and Its Philosophy

Head chef Manuel Ulrich and his team craft a cuisine rooted in excellent French cooking, brought forward with modern influences. Guests choose between two tasting journeys: the MENÜ NOIR and the vegetarian MENÜ VERT. For those new to fine dining, a smaller four-course Petit Noir menu is available on Wednesdays and Thursdays, offering a curated selection of the signature dishes with a wine pairing included.

Atmosphere and Design

The dining room interprets the Black Forest in a contemporary key – clean lines, interplay of light and shadow, and round tables for up to four guests. Curtains of glass beads create subtle light effects reminiscent of morning dew, lending the space a calm, luxurious feel.

A Destination for Wine Lovers

Sommelier and restaurant manager Michael Häni oversees a wine list of around 3,500 national and international labels. His pairings are carefully selected to complement each course, drawing on deep relationships with winemakers and a passion for sparkling wines, champagne, and still wines from diverse terroirs.
