The story
Der Engel at Talstr. 14 in Sasbachwalden, near Achern, is a family-run Badische kitchen that Michelin has listed as Recommended for 2026. The hotel and restaurant sit in a historic Black Forest wine village, and the family has run the house since 1764.
Christian Mamber, the son-in-law of the house, leads the kitchen and learned the trade from the ground up. The restaurant offers lunch menus, tasting menus and evening menus, along with à la carte dishes. Sauces and side dishes are made by hand on the premises. Most ingredients come from local growers and regional suppliers, and the menu changes with the seasons.
The building is a timber-framed house from the 18th century, and the Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 2.5 Kochlöffel for 2026. The guide praises its authentic Black Forest atmosphere and its regional wines, fruit brandies and cocktails. Guests can also stay overnight in 17 individually designed rooms, all climate-controlled. In warm weather, the terraces make a quiet place for a meal.
