The story
Rebstock-Stube, at Hauptstraße 74 in Denzlingen just outside Freiburg, is a family-run country inn serving Badische and French cuisine. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 3 Kochlöffel in 2026.
Axel Frey cooks with the seasons and likes bold flavors and vivid plating. Der Feinschmecker, which rated the restaurant 2.5 in 2026, hears an occasional echo of nearby Alsace in his style. The menu mixes house classics such as a fish soup with aioli and a calf's head salad with rösti. A goose liver terrine comes with rhubarb, pepper caramel and brioche.
Among the mains is Dover sole for two, served with lemon, tomato, spinach and buttered potatoes. Veal saddle arrives with morels, celery and a semolina pocket. The salmon soufflé sits on leaf spinach. A set menu follows the same line, from calamari or terrine through zander to the veal saddle, then dessert and petit fours.
Guests can sit at the table d'hôte, a long wooden table in front of the kitchen with a view of the cooks. On Wednesday and Thursday it hosts a three-course menu du jour. The dining room is done in beige-gray pastels, and in good weather the garden is open. The wine list leans on Ortenau, Markgräflerland and Kaiserstuhl estates, with bottles from France and Switzerland.

Concept High-end regional cuisine with French influences in a beautiful country inn just outside Freiburg, featuring a lunch menu. À la carte and a six-course menu are available, with Wednesday and Thursday offering a "Menu du jour" (three courses). Culinary Style Axel Frey favors bold flavors and vibrantly plated dishes that follow the seasons. His style occasionally recalls the nearby Alsace region. Langoustine with frisée salad, radicchio, basil, peas, as well as green and white asparagus. The scallop is served Asian-style: with curry, wasabi, and pak choi. Impeccably crafted, the rich, classically prepared veal tail ragout sits atop a potato-asparagus foam, garnished with egg yolk ribbons and hazelnut crunch. Later in the year, expect salmon soufflé with beurre blanc and spinach leaves, or lobster gratin with cauliflower and lobster spätzle. Imaginative desserts. Wine Alongside France and neighboring Switzerland, the wine list features renowned estates from the Ortenau, Markgräflerland, and Kaiserstuhl regions. Even the glass selection (six wines) remains focused on local producers. Atmosphere Beige-gray pastel tones foster an atmosphere of elegant hospitality. Conclusion Relaxed enjoyment in a casual setting.
