Gasthaus Rössle in Elzach

We had an incredibly beautiful evening in a fantastic ambience with incredible culinary highlights! And the service was also perfect. In short - we'll be back soon.

Tasty Tuesday is a highlight of the week! Mega tasty, varied with a good wine recommendation. Definitely again. I didn't use the rooms, so no review.

A culinary highlight! I absolutely loved this restaurant! You feel welcome as soon as you enter - the atmosphere is stylish and cozy at the same time. The food was simply outstanding. The ingredients are fresh, the dishes prepared with great attention to detail and beautifully presented. I was particularly impressed by the perfectly cooked steak, the creative vegetarian selection and the homemade dessert. Every bite was a delight. The service was also excellent: attentive, friendly and professional. The staff took the time to make recommendations and ensure everything was to our satisfaction. An all-round successful evening – I will definitely eat here again. Absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to enjoy good food in a pleasant atmosphere.

A wonderful evening and an incredible pleasure for the eyes, palate and soul

Very successful ambience, friendly service, good menu selection, the best sourdough bread!!, excellent cuisine - overall a top restaurant that you'll be happy to return to.

Rating from a restaurateur’s perspective: With regard to the food and the ambience, you can only give full marks here. Everything is clean, the rooms are large and yet there is a pleasant background noise. There is one point deducted for the rooms, because although everything makes an expensive, high-quality impression, the feeling of a coherent style concept is missing. It seems rather aloof and somewhat reminiscent of Catholic churches. I was there to introduce myself. Even before we had seen each other, I received an irritating email about my "delay" (the trains to Elzach have been running on the same timetable for a long time...). This is understandable since everyone has their own plans, but it is still a bit strange. When I spoke to the manager of the house, I had the feeling that he was looking for confrontation. His questions didn't seem curious, but more like an uncomfortable interrogation. I was not given any room for complete answers. Overall it was a very one-sided encounter. Since there was a lack of respect for listening, I finished the performance and knew that I had no place in such a capitalist-right-wing oriented place. The boss was too embarrassed to clear away the drinks and carelessly left the chair he had moved standing in the hallway. In my opinion, the sovereignty that the “Rössle” exudes is not reflected in the head of the house. Everyone should please make up their own minds. Sometimes days are more tense than others. The restaurant was also moderately busy, which may have increased the stress level. I came in peace and am leaving in peace. Hence my opinion as an applicant for the “Rössle”. The boss's behavior depresses the rating I give enormously. He is the head and is part of the overall evaluation.

The two of us were there for dinner. It tasted delicious and the service was excellent. We'll be back.

Great evening spent, excellent food and I'm really looking forward to cooking school in April

Went there for dinner for the first time today and the food was very tasty, a culinary delight and the service was great. Would love to come back. ☺️

Excellent restaurant where good home cooking is combined with excellence. You really feel welcome here and seen as an individual guest. We recently visited on the occasion of our wedding anniversary, I had stated this when making the reservation and our table was even reserved appropriately and all the employees even congratulated us when we served us. It doesn't cost anything, but it feels really great and I'm always impressed when the service works so well. The food was also excellent. The restaurant doesn't have a star, but it's close. I would come back any time! Best regards Kilian Rutkowski

We had another wonderful evening at the Rössle. Excellent food, delicious drinks to match, a wonderful host, and an outstanding service team who wonderfully mastered the balancing act between professional expertise and casual banter to create a warm and friendly atmosphere. Thank you.

Wir verbrachten unsere kleine Hochzeitsreise im Rössle und waren sehr zufrieden!Das 5 Gänge Menü war top,besonders das Fleisch und die Soße!Die Zimmer sind absolut sauber und mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet.Christine hat uns beim Frühstück total verwöhnt.Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt.Martina Meßmer und Helmut Weber.

We used a birthday as an opportunity to visit with the family. The food was great, everything was prepared in a timely manner and tasted very good. We'd love to come back.

A place where you feel comfortable and that you like to visit again and again. No matter whether it's a restaurant or a cooking school, a meal for two or a family celebration, we simply enjoy going to the Rössle. Great team, great boss and a warm boss! We are already looking forward to the next visit!

We made a reservation for four people at the inn on Saturday evening and got a very nice table. We had, among other things, the four-course chef's menu and were very satisfied. The service was also absolutely top!

The food is very good, service is very friendly and accommodating. Recommended

Nice restaurant, very good food, but a bit hectic service. Everyone is constantly running!

We took part in the meat and sauces cooking class and stayed overnight afterwards. The cooking course is excellent and it's really fun to delve deeper into the subject of cooking. Valuable tips are complemented by conveying joy and a pinch of humor. The standard room is very high quality and beautifully furnished. The breakfast is very tasty and contains only fresh products. There was also plenty of the special Rössle sourdough bread — a dream! So not only can you enjoy a top address in the evening, but the other offers also more than meet your expectations.

Very cozy restaurant, very good service and very good food. Price/performance top. Gladly again!

We had dinner at the restaurant and everything was perfect from start to finish. An incredibly attentive and professional service. But still very familiar and friendly. The food was incredibly delicious. There is nothing to complain about at all. We'll definitely be back. Many thanks to the team.

Enjoyed your skills and abilities again yesterday... very good service... friendly, thoughtful, tactful... delicious food with a view of the beautiful on every plate. Just keep it up and see you next time.

Very attentive service, excellent food!

Excellent not just in quality! Super friendly and pleasant, friendly and attentive service! What's outstanding is that you still feel full even when you're really hungry 😉 Totally recommended!!!!

We only stop for lunch. Nice restaurant but with medium-high prices. Good but very particular dishes. We take a fish soup, a couple of cordon blues, a couple of pork ribs and a plate of tongue.

The food was really tasty, recommended.

We recently had a meal at Rössle and were all very enthusiastic about the cuisine and the service. It was the first time I was back at the Rössle since the renovation, and I have to say, it turned out very nice. Will definitely come back for dinner.

Ich habe schon in vielen Gaststätten gespeist. Was im Rössle aus der Küche getragen wurde war preislich und kochmössig einfach Spitze. Unseren herzlicher Dank und Bewunderung sei ausdrücklich erwähnt.

Das Essen war sehr lecker und sehr schön präsentiert. Der Service sehr aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Rund um ein tolles Essen wir kommen sehe gerne wieder.

A very nice evening with really good food and an incredibly competent waitress who was extremely knowledgeable about wine.

A big compliment. Excellent food, great service.

Top restaurant, food, wine, service & location simply top!!👍 Highly recommended

The beef fillet was perfectly cooked to perfection. The wine list had the matching Pinot Noir.

We would like to write this review to express our dissatisfaction with our visit to your restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience did not meet our expectations of a pleasant restaurant visit, and we hope that you will take our criticism constructively. First of all we would like to mention the clumsy operation. We didn't feel welcome as guests. She was attentive when it came to refilling and clearing away, but she was impatient and unprofessional in her attitude towards us as guests. This significantly dampened the atmosphere for our group. Furthermore, the price-performance ratio was not there. The quality and presentation of the food was not at the level you would expect for your price range. The preparation of the dishes seemed careless and unprofessional, which further worsened our overall impression. A particularly serious incident was that a cartridge was actually found in a game dish. This is not only extremely unsavory, but also poses a significant risk of injury. It is absolutely incomprehensible to us that in such a case there was neither an apology nor any accommodation from you. This is also the reason for only one star. We would also like to point out that we were not informed in advance that a reservation for 15 people will incur an additional charge if two people cancel at short notice. This should have been communicated clearly in advance to avoid misunderstandings. Instead, this had to be discussed loudly in front of other guests. We hope that you will take our feedback seriously and take steps to prevent such occurrences in the future.

Bad service. Outrageous. When it came to what was wrong with the meat, it wasn't addressed at all. Expensive prices. Not recommended.

Great service, great food... Always happy

Dear Rössle team, Thank you very much for the delicious food and the great service! We'll definitely be back. Keep it up! 👍🏽 😊

We hadden 1e kerstdag gereserveerd met grote verwachtingen, gezien de recensies. Let op bij reserveren: het restaurant heeft 2 ruimtes: een “sjieke” zaal en een “gewone” zaal bij de keuken. De bediening was erg efficient, maar persoonlijk was het zeker niet, iets wat ik op dit prijsniveau wel verwacht. (Puntje eraf) De gewone zaal, (geen tafellinnen, nog nat servet, net uit de was), deed ook af aan het “michelin” gehalte. De gerechten waren lekker, origineel en goed van smaak. Jammer dat de reeën biefstuk, zenen bevatte. (Puntje eraf) Dat verwacht ik niet voor een 4 gangen kerstmenu @€75. Wellicht dat het restaurant, als het minder druk is beter scoort. Het gaat immers ook om de beleving, niet alleen het eten.

Great as always, thanks for that and Merry Christmas 🎄

Family meal was just great, ambience, service, quality, taste, friendliness and again, because it was so good, the service. It wasn't the first time we've been to the Rössle and it certainly won't be the last time. Because our grandson really wants to go into the kitchen to get ice cream again :-)...

More than satisfied. Thank you for your hospitality and we look forward to being with you again.

Happy ambience. Chicly decorated, tables not close to each other, well arranged, guests can talk without disturbing each other. Lunch provides a good middle-class, friendly atmosphere, perfect Elsacher hospitality. Good wine lists from well-known wineries in the region. Game and fish dishes prepared just right.

My friend and I had dinner at Gasthaus Rössle last Sunday. We were very satisfied in all areas. Delicious food, courteous service and last but not least, my friend and I felt very comfortable. It's definitely not the last time we've visited the restaurant.

Ideally located between the Vogtsbauernhöfen open-air museum in Gutach and Freiburg

Wir waren wieder super zufrieden mit dem Service, dem Essen, dem Ambiente. Alle Jahre wieder. Jederzeit wieder. Danke an das tolle Team.

Service is still very important here. It was a great evening and the food was tasty. Gladly again.

A great evening in a relaxed atmosphere, with very good food and a perfect service team. Thank you for the lovely evening.

We celebrated a big birthday here with the family. Rooms are modernly furnished with local materials and bright thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. Breakfast is served in the cooking school as a buffet with local products. The food was fantastic, all the rooms radiate a nice, warm atmosphere. Great combination of tradition and modernity, also in the food. Great attentive service - many thanks to the Rössle team for the lovely stay! We'd love to come back👍

Small hotel that belongs to the Gasthof Rössle, lovingly furnished rooms, clean, modern... Breakfast buffet a little smaller, but very fine and really regional products. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant, first class food, definitely recommended 👍🏼👍🏼

It was really a successful evening with a perfect and very delicious menu. Thank you for this great experience! Gladly again.

Flexible, accommodating and friendly all around perfect

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, the food was fantastic as usual. The only drawback: the younger operator neglected to explain the main course and the dessert. We noticed that other guests also installed this.

Great modern rooms, great breakfast, very nice ambience, the highlight at star level was the 4 course menu once and the 5 course menu once, great service with a good price/performance ratio, Elzach is a sweet little place, we'll be back, we really enjoyed ourselves felt comfortable.

We had dinner at the Rössle inn. The service was very attentive and the food was simply excellent. 5/5 stars.

We had the deer nuts. Everything was very good. The knöpfle with the sauce were particularly good. Very nice and good service. We'll definitely come back

Great service Very good quality Very nice atmosphere

The food was very tasty, the location and furnishings were also great. Unfortunately we had to wait a bit long for the main course. Still highly recommended for eating out. (It's not so great to find a parking space)

The food was good, service was good too.

Very good food in a well-kept and quiet atmosphere. Gladly again…

We were there for dinner and were very enthusiastic about the good food and the price-performance ratio and the nice service team 👍👍👍

Great hotel, food very good and staff just great. Would come here again and again.

That was unforgettable!!!All the friends were thrilled!!! Kitchen chef top!

Very nice and attentive service. Excellent cuisine! Absolutely recommended.

TOP good food, TOP wine advice and TOP service with TOP English knowledge. 4 x TOP what more do you need. Always happy again!

We were only there to eat. Very high quality of the food. Very friendly service. Absolutely within the price range.

Wir waren innerhalb 6 Tagen 2x dort. Zuerst aufgrund der Bewertungen, dass 2. Mal aufgrund Überzeugung! Wir hatten 3 Essen, alle drei auf den Punkt sehr sehr gut. Dazu das Personal, welches richtig klasse ist: kein Gang zuviel, unaufdringlich, sehr höflich und zuvorkommend! Einfach Mega Gesamtqualität!

The restaurant is great, very delicious and homemade meals!

Wonderful food prepared with care creativity and fantastic ingredients. Excellent service too

We had a wonderful evening in the restaurant. From the service to the food and the great wine - perfect. We'd love to come back.

Had dinner with friends. Service okay! Pleasant atmosphere!

We had a very tasty meal there. Absolutely great.

The food was delicious and the staff was friendly and in a good mood! We'll be back soon. :)

It was a beautiful day. The gourmet tour is highly recommended, you are well supplied with everything and can really enjoy the great atmosphere and cozy rest areas. Great idea! We would do it again at any time.

We were exclusively eating. This has already happened more than 10 times within 5 years. The working atmosphere is very good! The customer receives optimal advice and service. Not stiff, but still with etiquette.

We were in a restaurant. Very tasty food, excellent attitude and service. Recommended wholeheartedly.

Food as always very tasty. Very good matching wines. There is absolutely nothing to complain about. Compliments to the boss and his entire crew.

We ate here on September 6. Super friendly staff. We had a 4 course surprise menu from the chef and it was excellent. The plates looked like paintings and the flavors were all perfect. 5 stars is still not enough.

After we had already experienced a great cooking course, we wanted to have a nice evening in the restaurant - and were not disappointed! Very good selection of food and great service staff, who were very attentive but not too intrusive!

We had a delicious meal in the restaurant again, everything fresh and prepared with love, always a pleasure!

The food and service in the restaurant were very good.

Despite my personal tension, I felt very, very comfortable in this cozy and familiar hotel, not least or especially because of the super nice team around Kristin and Christine! Many guests have already experienced that Manuel and his cooking team are excellent and very varied, and I can only confirm this. Thanks also to the super attentive, always friendly and competent service team around Elias! I miss you all a little 😊

Great food with high quality, service very friendly!! It's a pleasure!

Always a culinary experience. Perfect service. Tasteful, cozy location

Excellent homemade restaurant 👍

Great service and great food, we would love to come back

Improvised meal on return from vacation. Very warm welcome despite the language barrier. Hearty and very good quality meal. Perfect ! 😃

For us 3 visitors in mid-August it was one of the most interesting restaurants in the Freiburg area. Service friendly and accommodating. Food selection excellent and not run-of-the-mill. Variants with fish or game are recommended. A taste experience! The Tuesday 5 course menu is exceptional from a price/performance perspective.

Modern rooms. clean, quiet, great mattresses, exceptionally friendly atmosphere and staff and a great breakfast!

An incredibly good meal. The service was friendly and very attentive. Relaxed atmosphere, modern but not aloof. I would love to come back

Excellent food and service. Mandatory stop in the area. Very good food, very well treated products, and attentive and friendly staff.

Super nice family-run restaurant. Food👍🏼Service, 1st class. Price performance ratio very good.

Really a brilliant evening at the Rössle Elzach, the food and wine also deserve more than 5 stars

Friendly service, good food, nice establishment in a good location

Found this beautiful little hotel by chance and will definitely come back. Rarely have we experienced such a lovingly run hotel/restaurant where guests are so warmly cared for. The dinner was a dream, nothing more can be said about it. The house really deserves the Bib Goumand, here the attention to detail is taken very seriously in every respect. The hotel and the breakfast also leave nothing to be desired.

Very good cuisine with excellent service

Great food, top service with attentive, friendly staff. Would love to come back

The food isn't cheap, but it's worth every euro. The dishes were excellent, both the modern menus and the Elzach classics tasted simply heavenly. A must if you want to have a really good meal in Elzach. I was particularly impressed by how friendly the staff was with the children. They really went out of their way and made sure the little ones got their food quickly (just as we asked). Room for improvement: The coffee should have come from a portafilter - you can taste the difference, that would have been the icing on the cake! I also expect all major cards to be accepted in this price range. Unfortunately, American Express is not accepted here.

Very tasty food and great service!

I primarily visited the Rössle to stay at the hotel and go hiking in the Black Forest. I booked a double room for myself and got the “Freiburg” room. In my opinion, this met all the minimum requirements to feel comfortable - specifically: harmonious ambience, very clean, comfortable mattress, not too noisy, available shelf for suitcases, cupboard including safe, pleated blinds for more privacy (glass wall bathroom). Plus there was a good one! Makeup mirror, cotton buds/pads and plenty of space in the shower. Only the summer heat built up quite a bit in the room. Unfortunately there was no air conditioning, but there was at least a fan. Price-performance was completely okay at around 200.- / 2 nights including breakfast / free parking nearby. The breakfast selection was manageable, but the important basics were covered and many things were homemade / came from the region (e.g. sourdough bread, jams). The waitress was friendly and immediately asked whether I would like a hot drink or an egg dish. Every now and then she came and asked if I was happy. On both evenings I ate at the local inn: On the first evening I treated myself to the beef fillet. I didn't take an appetizer. Beforehand I was brought some bread - crispy on the outside with a great crumb - and two different types of butter. At the beginning I was a bit irritated because I wasn't asked what cooking point I wanted the meat to be, but since it ended up being just right for me (medium), I ultimately didn't care. If you want it medium rare / well, it is better to communicate it on your own initiative. Drinks and food came early. The service asked twice in the middle if everything was okay (different people). At the end we asked again whether everything was okay and we chatted briefly about the area. Only the blonde lady with the black vest (a chef?) who served me the main course appeared to me to be very reserved, almost listless. As a predominantly herbivore, I appreciated the well-cooked vegetables (with a bite). The red wine sauce was great. All in all, the dish was very well rounded in terms of seasoning and the components chosen. I was already pretty full, but I still had to have dessert. I decided on the crème brûlée with fruit and sorbet - a fine finish, even though I felt like I was rolling back to the hotel room afterwards (it was worth it 😌). There was a good balance between sweetness and acidity. With some red wine and a large bottle of water I came to less than 70.00 - which is understandable for me considering the portion sizes / quality / regionality. The prices were criticized in individual comments. Well, the price of water could actually still be discussed (almost 7.- for 0.75l), but otherwise butter for the fish: things like keeping properly raised cattle and bourbon vanilla cost accordingly. Cheap and good don't mix that well. On the second evening I wanted to try the char. Unfortunately it was no longer available, but they quickly responded to me and offered me salmon in return 👍🏻. As a starter I had a salad whose dressing was a bit too acidic for me, but the coleslaw was great. The salmon was served with the same selection of vegetables as Beef fillet served. Since I liked the combination, I was looking forward to this repeat. The salmon was very well fried, just a little too salty if eaten plain. The potatoes had little to no salt. However, once you had a forkful of all the components, everything was consistent. I was asked again if everything was good and was given a mini muffin with the bill. Even if it wasn't quite enough for 5 stars in my opinion, 4 would do even less justice to the experience. I would like to give it a 4.5-4.75. I'll go home or drive home happy tomorrow. Thanks for that.

Had dinner there with 3 children. The roast venison is awesome! Chef very child friendly. For the little ones there was schnitzel and fries.
