The story
Wirtshaus Gaisbacher Hof stands at Gaisbach 1 in Oberkirch, Germany, where the Badische kitchen earned 1,5 Kochlöffel in the Schlemmer Atlas 2026. The house cooks Baden cuisine with an eye toward Bavaria, Austria and Alsace.
Ralph Meier-Deninger leads the kitchen, which works with regional and seasonal produce. The food is handmade and rooted in Baden, with a few dishes borrowed from neighboring regions. Omas Kuchen, a Baden wine list and local draft beer complete the offering.
The Leimenstüble, the Wirtstube, a large Festsaal and a covered Salettl give the house several settings. In warmer months, the garden follows the style of a cottage garden, with herbs, flowers and a playground. The Schlemmer Atlas singled out the family-like hospitality here, and the house sits about eight minutes on foot from Oberkirch's center, among orchards and vineyards.
