Gasthaus in Lahr – Country Cooking & Michelin Recognition at Adler Lahr

Gasthaus at Adler Lahr

At the foot of the Black Forest, just minutes from the centre of Lahr, the Gasthaus at Hotel Restaurant Adler offers a relaxed setting for hearty, seasonal country cooking. Run by the Fehrenbacher family, this traditional restaurant is the more casual counterpart to the property's Michelin-starred gourmet dining room.

Chef and Philosophy

Chef Daniel Fehrenbacher and his team draw on the bounty of the surrounding region. The menu changes with the seasons, reflecting the rhythms of the Black Forest. Alongside the regular offerings in both the Gasthaus and the gourmet restaurant, the kitchen hosts popular events such as fish weeks and a large kitchen party in October. The approach is straightforward: let the quality of regional ingredients speak for itself.

Atmosphere and Setting

The Gasthaus is part of a larger, family-run hotel complex that also includes a gourmet restaurant, for which the property holds a Michelin recommendation. The Adler offers two distinct dining experiences under one roof: the Gasthaus for classic country cooking, and a finer-dining room with French influences. The generous Adlersaal can host events for up to 100 guests, making it a versatile space for celebrations and gatherings.

Standout Details

For a behind-the-scenes experience, the Chef's Table offers a front-row seat to the kitchen's work, with 15 courses from the gourmet menu and paired wines. The Gasthaus itself focuses on accessible, satisfying country cooking—think roast beef roulades, Black Forest sushi, and seasonal soups. A fingerfood menu is also available for events, with options ranging from mini club sandwiches to smoked fish tartare.
