The story
Eckert | Fine Dining in Lörrach holds one Michelin star (2026) for its modern cuisine, served at Basler Straße 20 in Grenzach-Wyhlen, where Germany meets France and Switzerland. The restaurant is part of Hotel Eckert, a family-run house.
Chef Nicolai Wiedmer cooks with a clear preference for Asian flavors, and vegetables sit at the center of the plate. Fish or meat can be added to a dish. He works alongside his father Rainer, and the team keeps its southern Baden roots in view. The Asian and European fusion style stays product-focused and relaxed.
Turbot comes with Thai curry and kaffir lime. Pork belly is paired with cucumber, shiitake, XO sauce and miso. The vegan menu keeps the same components and changes only the main ingredient: a leek and nori roll replaces the turbot, and tempeh takes the place of the pork belly. Guests choose between two menus or order à la carte, and midweek lunch brings a business lunch and a small tasting menu.
Natural tones and a large window front frame the greenery outside. The chairs are Vitra, comfortable enough for a long dinner. Sommelier Atlanta Lehmann leans toward regional bottles, and fifteen wines are poured by the glass.

Concept A casual fine-dining restaurant at Hotel Eckert featuring two menus (one of them vegan) as well as à la carte dishes. During the week, it offers a business lunch and a small tasting menu. Cuisine Style Chef Nicolai Wiedmer’s preference for Asian flavors is reflected in a product-focused kitchen that places vegetables at the center. Fish and meat can be added to the dishes. Turbot is served with Thai curry and kaffir lime, while the pork belly comes with cucumber, shiitake mushrooms, XO sauce, and miso. The vegan menu retains the same components, primarily swapping out the main ingredients—a leek and nori roll in place of the turbot, or tempeh instead of the pork belly. Wine Sommelier Atlanta Lehmann focuses on regional selections and offers an extensive list of 350 wines. Fifteen wines are available by the glass. Atmosphere Natural tones and a large window front offer views of the greenery outside. The seating features comfortable Vitra chairs, and the service is exceptionally friendly. Conclusion A relaxed dining experience at the tri-border region.
In the southwesternmost corner of the republic, in a nearly 100-year-old tavern, every plate on the menu features ingredients from different worlds. 450 different wines are stored in the cellar.
