The story
The Landhotel Krone in Heitersheim has been welcoming guests for over 400 years. What began as a simple inn in the 17th century has grown into a place where tradition and modern comfort meet. The same family dedication that carried the house through the centuries still shapes every meal served today.
The kitchen follows a clear philosophy: cook what the homeland gives. Regional products come from local farms, handpicked and fresh daily. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on the Markgräfler Land’s reputation as one of Germany’s great food regions. From a four-course Kronenmenü (€59) to a six-course Feinmenü (€88), the dishes reflect the land’s bounty. Recent offerings include house-smoked salmon with local asparagus, confit halibut in tarragon oil, coq au vin from a free-range chicken, and flat iron steak cooked sous vide and grilled.
The restaurant’s atmosphere blends old and new. Cosy stubes feature exposed masonry, wood, steel, and glass – a setting that feels both timeless and fresh. The kitchen adds international touches to its regional-saisonal base, creating a style that the Michelin guide describes as “regional-seasonal cuisine with international influences.” This recognition in 2026 places the Krone among the Black Forest’s finest tables.
The Michelin guide’s recommendation comes as no surprise. The kitchen’s commitment to quality – from sourcing to preparation – is evident in every plate. Whether you choose the daily-changing Kronenmenü or the more elaborate Feinmenü, the meal is built on respect for the ingredients and the region. The Landhotel Krone is a place where tradition and taste converge, and where the best of the Markgräfler Land is served with pride.
