"We were staying at the mathematics institute at Oberwolfach and hiked one afternoon from there to this charming restaurant located in the heart of the village of Wolfach. As traveling foodies, we were looking for true local flavors, and found them at this casual place. We dined in their enclosed courtyard accessed through the restaurant - lovely little tables with blue and white checked cloths. Our waitress spoke no English but was so friendly and helpful that ordering/paying/using the restrooms/calling a taxi was no problem. Of note, the menu starts with a timeline of the hotel/restaurant's history from 1767 forward. We shared an order of Schwarzwalder schinken (Black Forest ham) - a very generous serving of this marvelous local specialty as well as boiled egg, cantaloupe, tomatoes and sliced pickles with good European bread. We also enjoyed the Scharzwalder Zunftspiess" (translates as "Black Forest Guilded Pike") - pork medallions grilled on a skewer with bacon, cherries, brown gravy and noodles (spaetzle). Our Riesling was crisp and cool. We found the prices to be very reasonable, especially for the amount of food. A great little local place for true flavors of the Black Forest. Highly recommended."
