IMbery Hotel & Restaurant Hinterzarten

Michelin worthy food - rooms a bit tired While I enjoyed my stay, and don’t get me wrong, the rooms are perfectly ok but could do with freshening up and I’m only saying this because if they would match the Michelin-class food, this could be a serious destination for foodies in the Black Forest, which is blessed with great food anyway, but suffers in losing winter tourism due to the declining snow season. Great food like this, combined with beautiful, clean and healthy surroundings to walk (or bike, ride, swim) off the calories could be the salvation. In detail: after a crisp, tasty mixed salad, I had a paired Saibling (local fresh water salmon) and local Trout filet so fresh it tried to leap off the plate. There’s game and all the braten and schnitzel you’d expect, but there’s also a three-course vegan menu, seasonal veg, all with a local reference - not just the way it’s cooked. The menu lists in detail every local maker and supplier of the ingredients, down to the meats coming from a butcher farming its own herds on local meadows. It doesn’t get fresher, ethical, and less carbon footprint. At prices you find (sadly) in the UK at ‘gastro pubs’ and it’s microwaved fare.

La conosco da anni. La posizione è centrale e splendida anche nei dintorni. Il servizio è impeccabile, la qualità dell ‘hotel ottima e vi è pure un ricco e fornito ristorante.

Wir waren mit unseren beiden Kindern unterwegs und das Hotelpersonal hätte nicht zuvorkommender sein können. Vom Moment unserer Ankunft an haben sie sich alle Mühe gegeben, damit wir uns wohlfühlen. Die Rezeption überraschte unsere Kinder sogar mit kleinen Willkommenstüten voller Spielsachen, was eine nette Geste war. Sie haben immer nach uns geschaut und gefragt, ob wir zusätzliche Handtücher brauchen oder ob die Kinder heiße Schokolade möchten. Es fühlte sich an, als wäre es ihnen wirklich wichtig, dass sich unsere Familie wie zu Hause fühlt.
