Gasthaus Rössle in Elzach

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.

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.

The food was really tasty, recommended.

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

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.

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

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

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

Great service, great food... Always happy

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.

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

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

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.

The restaurant is great, very delicious and homemade meals!

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

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!

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

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

Excellent homemade restaurant 👍

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.

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

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.

The hotel with its restaurant gives you the impression of having “arrived” from the first moment, the first second. The warmth with which we were received was reflected in friendliness and genuine interest in us until the last second. No wish was left unfulfilled - all expectations were far exceeded. The cooking school - we had a course on Saturday afternoon - was taught and implemented excellently by Manuel. Quality is the top priority here - coupled with the feeling of teamwork and belonging. Manuel is a “guy” you just have to like. If you want scenery, service, attention to detail and relaxation, as well as being pampered with an exclusive menu, the “Gasthaus Rössle Elzach” is in the best and unique place. PART II; On August 3rd, 2024 we were able to experience another visit to the Rössle inn on the occasion of our wedding. The evening before we received a message asking whether we would like to sit outside or in the winter garden. Deciding on the conservatory we arrived around 7pm on Saturday to find a beautifully set table with our menu choices personalized and printed out. To the point - starting with Manuel's sourdough bread and ending with the dessert, everything was a pleasure of the highest quality - quality at the highest level. The support was professional from the first second, very attentive and always warm. Here you are human, you are welcome here, you are almost “at home” here. Thank you - we'll be back, very happy to do so again and again. ★★★★★

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.

Very tasty food and great service!

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

The restaurant is excellent!! They deserve a big 10!!

Everything is just right here!! Enjoying and feeling good is part of the program...you can feel the love and passion. Meggi

Great place. We were there with 9 people. Everyone was excited. Children also find something. The boss serves with you. The service staff and kitchen are very well coordinated. And the most important thing… everything tastes very good and very tasty. Love when preparing and the homemade sourdough bread to start with is excellent. We'd love to come back. :-) Keep it up!

We booked the foodie tour, what a great idea! We received a hiking backpack full of very tasty local products, received a great introduction to the process and the hiking route and went on a really nice hike and at the end we were treated to a super tasty 4-course menu by a very nice team! We will remember the day for a long time! Thanks so much!!! Nicole and Christian

Wonderful evening, great and attentive team, please keep it up 👍

Great food. Perfect service. Always happy 👌😃

We only went to dine. Great service and good food. They had many gluten-free options and were very clear about it. Greatly organized. Would recommend!

Fabulous restaurant. Exquisite and very nice food and punctual and very kind service

A nice gastronomic surprise at this Rössle restaurant located in the center of Elzach. Local and tasteful cuisine made with local, quality products, as we find more and more among our German neighbors. The service is friendly, smiling and professional. I will have to come back sometime to try the hotel which looks good too. Special mention for the homemade sourdough bread served as an accompaniment, which is generally rare.

We had a surprise menu that was very varied and delicious. The service was attentive but not intrusive. We really enjoyed the evening.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We, my husband and I, were there on July 14th. a guest here. The welcome was very warm, the service was refreshingly friendly and without being intrusive. The food was excellent. The sauce alone... a dream. An all-round successful evening. We can highly recommend it.

We did the foodie tour, which I can 100% recommend. From the very nice welcome from Manuel and his team, to the aperitif and route description of the hike, the extensive and extremely tasty backpacks filled with local delicacies to the pub menu in the evening, everything was perfect. Super nice and very attentive team. Even our dog was provided with water directly. Food very tasty and lovingly presented. We'd love to come back. Thank you!

Service top. Food top. Breakfast top. Room top. Unfortunately the fridge didn't work.

Very courteous, attentive and friendly service. The food is simply top notch. And the ambience is cozy and elegant. It's certainly very nice outside in the summer. Unfortunately for us it's not close enough to be able to come regularly :-/ But we are really looking forward to the next time.

We had a great evening at Rößle. Everything was perfect: great and attentive hospitality, a very harmonious atmosphere and outstanding food. Thank you very much - keep it up!

Everything is good but my favorite is deer meet.

Really good food, it tastes great 😃🍽️😋👌🏾 The Sörviss was very attentive and the food was always on the table. So everything is top notch 😁👍🏾 Habedeere 🤠🌻

Very good cuisine, nice ambience, friendly staff but in the upper price range

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and great, flexible service.

Lovely little place, has a great view.

In short, simply a perfect conversion. Rarely have I seen such a perfect renovation. Well, I only saw the rooms before on the homepage and couldn't believe my eyes how perfect these new rooms seemed to me then in reality. I always find details where I would say this or that could be better, but no, I and all fellow travelers liked it completely. Creative but not pompous details stand out, honest materials and high-quality trousseau round off the result. It starts in the small, simple reception, follows up the stairs, into the room and finally into the breakfast room. In addition to the exceptionally light interior design, various details stand out, such as serving boards with indentations for bowls and glasses. Small furniture are placed aside twin place tables to avoid chaos on the table. Instead of the usual overloaded buffet atmosphere, there is also lightness here like in a spacious eat-in kitchen at home. And last but not least, the staff is super friendly and helpful. Thanks for pampering.

Great ambience, great service and the food is simply fantastic. We had the pub menu so delicious!

The meal was great and the service was very nice. We always go there specifically to eat really well.

Warm welcome at the hotel. Rooms very nicely and high quality furnished. In the restaurant we had the 4 course menu, which was sensationally good. The staff also needs to be highlighted. Super friendly and top professional. 👍👍 We'll definitely be back.
