Ben´s Restaurant im Nationalparkzentrum am Ruhestein in Baiersbronn

A beautiful place to merge with nature.

Super friendliness, even though the man (boss, employee?) was alone at the counter, calm, level-headed. It's a rare experience...I didn't order anything to eat because I didn't have the time. The ambience is perfect...

So my cake was sensational, the view was also very beautiful! The owner can't do anything about the ambience, but every visit is worth it.

Super nice staff, delicious coffee and cake and very dog ​​friendly. With a sign at the entrance that all dogs are welcome and a treat for every dog

A service disaster. Any food can be sold out, but to then go on and lecture the guests shows a lack of understanding towards the customers. The service robot seems the friendliest. Outside the building there is a parlor with great food and very friendly staff. So save yourself Ben's Café! _________ Now I'll take the trouble and respond to her answer. Because this simply shows how overwhelmed they are with their cafe operations and that they cannot handle criticism. We didn't sit with you, stop times or insult you in any other way. Unfortunately they mixed us up. Instead of answering reviews incorrectly in such detail, you should take the time to reflect and think about what you could do better with other customers. But maybe they just had a bad day - that can happen. __________ Wow, just now saw that there was another answer. Unfortunately it fits with the overall appearance, on site and in the review. You can claim 100 times that you know who I was or that I spent time with you. You're still confusing me. Because again, I wasn't in the restaurant, I was in the cafe! This can happen quickly when you are overloaded and overwhelmed. And if you take the trouble to read my other reviews, you will notice that I generally rate fairly and that the positive experiences clearly outweigh the negatives. And read my first text, I even understood that the cafe was sold out. I only complained about the absolutely unfriendly staff! But if the superiors If customers behave like you, how is the employee supposed to know better?! So, as sorry as I am for the employees, I can only advise against Ben's Cafe.

Ben is incredibly personable and accommodating! We went hiking with two dogs and had a coffee. Ben even handed out a water bowl and treats for our dogs without us asking! We felt very comfortable all around and were served very nicely! :) Thanks! And see you soon!

Everything was great, always happy ☕🍰🥧

Delicious food and very good cake in a neat and always clean atmosphere for little money. Always my pleasure.

We have been to the cafe several times and always look forward to a fresh, homemade cake 🍰 and snacks as well as the very friendly service, but we treat the service as we would like to be treated ourselves. With this in mind, all the best for the future

A new tenant has taken over the restaurant café, now Ben's Restaurant with masterfully homemade cakes in all variations. Homemade tarte flambée, soups, good German cuisine with a good selection of different dishes as well as drinks and wines. Definitely always worth a visit. Changing breakfast events, brunch and other events. Suitable for groups, please reserve here. Super nice service.

National German dishes and fresh forest air + excellent service and hospitality - 100%

The café has reopened (June 2023) with a new operator. It is in the entrance hall of the National Park Center. You can sit inside and outside, with a view of the trees.

At the moment only cash payment is possible in the park center. The café is closed, probably for a longer period of time, as new tenants are being sought. We didn't look at the exhibition anymore. Parking costs 3 euros for 2 hours. Short-term parkers pay 1 euro.

Nice terrace with a view of the forest. The food, the main purpose of the visit, was a disaster. 1x Jägerschnitzel taken from the daily menu. Smallest schnitzel (size smaller than a €5 bill) I've ever eaten, oversalted and hard. The mushroom sauce tasted like ready-made sauce. The spaetzle wasn't salted, but that wasn't a bad thing, but the schnitzel was oversalted. The overall portion was much too small for the price and there was no salad (not even a leaf to decorate the plate). 1x cheese spaetzle also not good, very soggy and the portion was a joke for the price (over €10). This is where poor food (quality), small portions and a high price come together. Unusual too. First food was served, then only 1 minute later the cutlery was handed out. Normally it's always the other way around! On the drinks menu, a non-alcoholic Pilsner is offered under "0.5L from the bottle", but only a 0.33L bottle of Pilsner is brought to the table at the price stated on the menu. Service was friendly. Overall, a cafe/restaurant not recommended!

We were well served, the price was fair and the food was delicious

Good cake and coffee wonderfully located in the Black Forest.

Terrace with a view of the forest, delicious ice cream
