The story
Landgasthof König von Preussen sits in Bad Herrenalb where family Rath guides the kitchen toward thoughtful regional cooking. Chef Roy Rath builds his plates around what the surrounding forests and valleys provide each season. The Schlemmer Atlas recognized this steady approach with a 2.5 spoon rating, noting how the team balances relaxed daily service with structured tasting menus. You will taste that balance in every course, which stays rooted in Baden and Württemberg traditions while leaving room for fresh ideas.
The summer menu shifts quickly toward lighter preparations that highlight locally sourced produce. Fresh chanterelles appear alongside vine tomatoes and creamy burrata, while river fish like Zander and Eyach trout arrive crisp in the pan. A modern salmon poke bowl rounds out the offerings for those who prefer brighter flavors. This grounded approach to regional cuisine rewards both regular visitors and first time guests with honest plates.
The building stands directly across from the Frauenalb monastery ruins, placing diners in a quiet valley setting far from city traffic. Interior spaces blend modern furnishings with distinct Black Forest warmth, creating a relaxed environment suitable for everything from quick lunches to weekend celebrations. Hotel rooms sit above the dining area, allowing guests to extend their stay without changing locations. Whether you join the community for an evening kitchen party or book a private table, the pacing remains unhurried and focused on genuine hospitality.
