Between the Rhine and the Black Forest: Restaurant Engel in Appenweier
Baden's culinary moments
With Baden cuisine featuring modern accents, our Ortenau restaurant at the foot of the Black Forest has become a culinary institution.
Since 1898 - now in its fourth generation - we have been spoiling our guests with culinary delights from our kitchen and cellar. We look forward to inspiring you too: à la carte in our restaurant with terrace or during your stay with us on a half-board basis. And that in the midst of a paradisiac region where inn culture and culinary enjoyment are still cherished.

Kitchen philosophy
Authentic. Good. Baden-style.
With the best of Baden's cuisine, Karl-Heinz Lott has cooked his way into the forefront of Ortenau's restaurants. Taking ample time for each dish is the secret to a good taste full of aromas. Another principle: everything in its time, mostly fresh from the region and of the best quality. Ingredient shopping is a matter for the boss here! We source our venison directly from Appenweier-Nesselried, pork and beef from the Renchtal, and poultry from nearby Alsace. We get cheese from the Monte Ziego dairy in Schuttertal, asparagus, berries, and field lettuce from Zusenhofen, and freshwater fish from the Black Forest. Despite our love for the homeland, a touch of southern passion can occasionally be found at Restaurant Gasthof Engel - for example, with a variety of seafish.

Even the restaurant critics enjoy it
Additionally, we are members of the "Schmeck-den-Süden-Gastronomen," Weinsüden-Hotel, and a house of Baden-Württemberg wines.
"What is served in the simple yet cosy dining rooms with an inviting lively atmosphere, or even better, outside on the garden terrace among fruit trees and herbs, is unreservedly enjoyable."

Restaurant with garden oasis
Gourmet terrace
Experience the lightness of summer from May to September in our enchantingly designed terraced restaurant garden. Between the pool and hotel buildings, you'll find cosy spots beside brightly coloured blooms and bushes like pink hydrangeas and purple lilacs, or in the shade of our chestnut tree. Here, in our blooming garden oasis in the backyard, we serve, alongside our popular Baden classics, light summer dishes and salads. Perhaps accompany it with an aromatic Ortenau summer wine or a cool beer from the Offenburg brewery? And definitely follow it with an ice-cream dessert from our patisserie. At Restaurant Gasthof Engel, summer truly becomes a culinary delight!
Wine expertise at Gasthof Engel in the Black Forest
Top wines from Baden
As beautiful as the vineyard landscape of our homeland is, the wines from the traditional family wineries and cooperatives all around taste just as good. After all, the Ortenau soils are known for producing top quality. In our wine cellar, exquisite Baden bottles from successful vintners await their purpose. Additionally, we have personal insider tips from lesser known wineries for you.
By the way: Be sure to try a "Klingenberger" - the legendary Ortenauer Riesling. It surprises with natural fruity aromas, such as lemon or peach, and can only be found here in our region.
