The story

Bergfriedel in Bühl: Country Cooking with Black Forest Views – Michelin Recommended

A Family Tradition

Perched above the Bühlertal valley, Bergfriedel is a family-run establishment rooted in the Black Forest. Andreas and Marianne Schäuble welcome guests into a space that balances warmth with ambition. The restaurant has earned Michelin recognition year after year—first with a long-standing Bib Gourmand, and most recently with a Michelin Recommended award in 2026—a testament to consistent, unpretentious quality.

The Cuisine

Chef Andreas Schäuble’s cooking is grounded in craft and creativity. He works with high-quality regional ingredients: meat from the local butcher, game from the Bühlertal forests, fish from nearby waters. These are transformed into what the kitchen calls "Feinschmeckermenüs"—refined plates that stay true to their origin. The menu places Baden country cooking side by side with lobster and turbot, offering everything from regional specialties to vegetarian dishes and multi-course tasting menus with wine pairings. It is a kitchen that honors handwork and lets the product speak.

The Setting and Service

Dining at Bergfriedel means taking in a panoramic view of the valley, the vineyards, and the Black Forest. The sun terrace is sheltered and heated; the glass-fronted "Schwarzwaldstube" slides open in good weather, blurring the line between inside and out. For more intimate gatherings, the rustic Glottertäler Stüble or the seasonally decorated Vier-Jahreszeitenstube offer distinct moods. The Andreaskeller wine cellar is a destination in itself, stocked with a remarkable selection for enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike.

Beyond the restaurant, Bergfriedel also offers catering for events, private dining rooms for up to seventy guests, and cooking classes where Andreas Schäuble shares his approach to seasonal, local produce. It is a place that feels both ambitious and genuinely hospitable—a reflection of its surroundings and the hands that run it.
