The story

Rebstock – Michelin-Recommended Country Cooking in Durbach, Germany

In the Black Forest Valley

Rebstock sits in Durbach, a village tucked into one of the most beautiful valleys of the Black Forest, between the Rhine plain and the sun-drenched vineyards of the Ortenau. The family-run hotel and restaurant has a park that blooms nearly year-round, with views over the surrounding wine slopes. Inside, the atmosphere is warm and understated—edible materials, soft colours, and a sense of genuine hospitality.

The Kitchen

The restaurant’s country cooking is rooted in the region. Chef Volker Baumann and his team source ingredients from the immediate area, trusting local producers for quality and freshness. The menu changes with the seasons, focusing on what is ripe and ready in the orchards, fields, and forests of Baden-Württemberg. This commitment to real, honest flavour has earned Rebstock a Michelin Recommended award—a recognition that speaks to the consistency and ambition of the kitchen without the need for a star.

Regional Flavours

The cooking is described as “badische und internationale Gerichte” – Baden-style dishes with a clear seasonal rhythm. Spring brings light, floral notes; summer adds rosé and fresh produce; autumn turns to richer, earthy flavours. The kitchen avoids shortcuts, preferring to let the ingredients speak. Whether it’s a Thursday evening menu or a special event, the food is crafted with care and a touch of inspiration that goes beyond everyday restaurant standards.

Rebstock is a place where the setting and the table are in harmony – a genuine country restaurant in the Black Forest that rewards a visit any time of year.
