The story
Hugenhof, at Am Neuenberg 14 in Simonswald (79263), is a Franco-Mediterranean restaurant in Gutach im Breisgau that earned a Michelin Recommended listing in 2026. The house combines a restaurant with a guesthouse, the Landhaus, in the Black Forest valley.
Petra Ringwald and Klaus Ditz host the house. The kitchen describes its style as franco-mediterranean with Baden influences. Instead of a long card, it works from a changing four-course menu priced at 76 €, built on seasonal ingredients.
The courses change with the season, so the menu you order may differ from the one a neighbour had last month. Wine recommendations are chosen individually and explained at the table. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the house 3 Kochlöffel for 2026 and notes that matching wine recommendations are part of the meal.
Aperitifs are served by the fireplace in the garden lounge. In fine weather, guests can linger on the panorama terrace outdoors. The Landhaus next door offers rooms and holiday apartments for those who would rather stay than drive back down the valley.
