The story
Stilbruch, at Scheffelstraße 58 in Karlsruhe, is a contemporary kitchen recognized as Michelin Recommended in 2026. The restaurant has no fixed menu, so each evening's courses follow what the season offers.
Most ingredients come from the region, with about 80 percent local, 15 percent from neighboring countries and 5 percent from further afield. The zero-waste principle shapes each plate. The Schlemmer Atlas gave the restaurant 2,5 Kochlöffel in 2026, praising concentrated flavors across up to seven courses, also available in a vegan version.
Guests pick a frame first: Ursprung, with fish and meat, or Pflanzkraft, a plant-based menu. Then they choose the scope, Einblick, Dialog or Manifest. The kitchen builds the courses on the night around the produce of the season.
