Hotel Gasthof Kreuz - Wolfach

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.

Italian cue with tasty pizza and various pastages recommended centrally located in the center of town.

We were there on the first Christmas holiday and the only guests in the evening. there was an extra menu for Christmas holidays. the suppe as an appetizer was unfortunately only lukewarm. the main dishes were tastefully unfortunately through the bank away bad and with very high probability not fresh. the sweet was completely boiled and the meat tasted sweet and was extremely tough. the tellers were cleared, although not all were ready to eat and the question whether it tasted also remained out. when we left, the light was turned off completely. that was really the worst eating for a long time, and it was a pity for christmas!

Good restaurant, but not particularly refined. we were a little disappointed. the beer garden behind the restaurant is uninteresting
