The story
Restaurant Krone Maleck at Brandelweg 1 in Emmendingen serves Badische cooking with a fusion streak, and the Schlemmer Atlas gave it 2,5 Kochlöffel in 2026. The long-established country inn sits about 15 kilometers from Freiburg, where the Black Forest begins to rise.
The restaurant is part of the Parkhotel Krone Maleck, and its menus come from the creative kitchen of Heiko Bergner. The Badische German repertoire sits alongside fusion touches, and the vegetarian tag in the listing suggests meat-free choices are part of the offer. The Schlemmer Atlas recognition places the inn among the guide's rated country restaurants.
Lunch runs as a set menu with a choice at each course. A recent week opened with a mixed leaf salad with cucumber or a cream soup of pink lentils with lemon and cashews. Mains were Norwegian salmon fillet with butter-garlic rice and Riesling cream, or a breaded pork loin schnitzel with potato salad. Semolina slices with wild blueberry sauce closed the meal, and the three courses were priced at 29.50 €.
The inn has panoramic windows and cozy rooms, and flamingos live in the garden. Parking is available directly in front of the house. The hotel also offers a Schlemmen und Schlummern package with two nights, a 3-course half-board menu and a 4-course tasting menu.
