St. Ottilien - Freiburg

Roughly 4.5km from Freiburg centre but you wouldn't guess you are so close to town. We hiked there at lunchtime and shared Flammkuchen (tarte flambée) and drank some much needed cold beers. Friendly service, lots of families with young kids. They do cake and icecream, lots of vegetarian and vegan options too with locally sourced products as well as more traditional meat dishes. Lovely views over the Black Forest. Right next to a chapel dedicated to St. Odile dating from around 1700, which is currently undergoing renovation (scaffolding). We sat outside but there are plenty of tables inside should the weather be bad - very rustic interior with lots of wood.

This cafe is located in the middel of forest nearby Freiburg city, you can either drive there by a car or walk 30 min through the nice forest (along a quite comfortable path). I was there twice, in the spring and in the summer. It is a nice wooden house with a beautiful panorama view if you sit outside. The food is very good--e.g. rumpsteak, frammkuchen (typical for french Elsas area nearby) as well as local Baden wines. Staff is very friendly, prices very reasonable, atmosphere excellent!

We walked through the forest from Freiburg and were able to follow small signs along the road. A fantastic walk, and a delicious meal when we reached the restaurant. So good that we made reservations for brunch on Sunday and will enjoy walking up the hill again...and this time knowing what awaits us!

Delicious food, playground, no sexual intercourse, beautiful view of the mountains and the trees, but they are quickly back in the city. we sat relaxed and the children could work after eating themselves.

Klasse pommes mit veganer mayo und ketchup. also always gives at least one vegan dish. very beautiful outside surface. there is a beautiful small hiking trail through the forest to the restaurant.
