The story
At Mühle, the journey begins with a step away from the everyday. Tucked into the woods of the Black Forest, this boutique hotel and restaurant is the vision of Marius, a host whose passion for craft, tradition, and the new shapes every detail. The team describes it simply: "We love nature and the forest. In connection with food, drink, and a cozy accommodation, the circle closes for us."
The restaurant earned a Michelin star in 2026 for its high-quality cooking, and that recognition is earned nightly. The menu is Modern French, rooted in the rhythms of the surrounding forest and lake. Guests are encouraged to arrive, switch off their phones, and let the scent of the fire announce the evening's meal. Dinner unfolds in a setting that balances casual chic with genuine warmth – the dress code is relaxed, the atmosphere refined.
A typical evening might begin with a drink in the lounge or on the terrace, followed by a multi-course menu that respects both tradition and innovation. The open fireplace invites lingering conversations over a good glass of wine. The following morning, an à la carte breakfast awaits. The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday from 18:30, and children are welcome from age 14. Mühle is not just a meal; it's a pause in the forest, where the circle of nature, food, and hospitality closes around you.

Concept Menus of up to eight courses, cutting-edge with clean lines and surprising moments. Culinary Style The new head chef, Fabian Obergfell, hails from the Black Forest but is rooted in French cuisine. The pickled yellowtail mackerel was served with artichoke, pepper, and olive. The gently poached trout in a Café de Paris foam featured pearl grains and rapeseed for added crunch. The veal brioche was boldly contrasted with the acidity of a tomato vinaigrette. A super-classic take on pigeon breast "Rossini" came with pan-fried liver and truffle jus, chanterelles, pointed cabbage, blackberry, and a "floating" soufflé potato. Wine The young team led by Sina Pfefferle also serves wine pairings by the half glass. Approximately 300 selections, with a focus on Germany and France. Atmosphere The idyllic Black Forest house dating back to 1603 features a modern and minimalist interior. Guests can help themselves to cutlery from the drawers of the unadorned wooden tables. Conclusion High-end dining at an altitude of 1,000 meters in a relaxed and charming setting.
