The story
In the quiet village of Bretzfeld-Brettach, near Öhringen, the Thomßen-Pils family runs Landhaus Rössle with a warmth that feels both personal and professional. Inka and Bernd, together with Jette and Laurens, welcome guests into a space that balances clarity with comfort. The restaurant has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction, a quiet nod to the consistent quality and thoughtful cooking that defines the kitchen.
The dining rooms are flooded with natural light. Bright fabrics, fine woods, and seasonal decorations are arranged without fuss—elegant but never stiff. The philosophy, the family explains, mirrors what comes out of the kitchen: clarity and naturalness, stripped of unnecessary ornament but full of taste. It is a setting that lets the food speak.
The cuisine draws from Classic French foundations while embracing International influences. The result is precise, ingredient-driven cooking that changes with the seasons. Nothing flashy, nothing forced—just clean, confident plates that reflect a deep respect for produce and technique. The Michelin inspectors noted this consistency, and the restaurant remains a steady destination for those seeking serious cooking in a genuinely welcoming atmosphere.
Landhaus Rössle is closed on Monday and Tuesday. Reservations are accepted by phone only. The hotel is open daily, making it a convenient stop for travelers exploring the Hohenlohe region or the vineyards of the Württemberg wine country. Parking is available, and the outdoor seating offers a pleasant option in warmer months.
