The story
die burg in Villingen-Schwenningen is a fine dining restaurant serving international cooking at Burgring 6, Donaueschingen, 78166. It holds one Michelin star (2026 listing), and the restaurant says it first earned that star in 2023.
Jason Grom runs the kitchen, and his brother Niklas leads service and the wine program. Both trained at top restaurants before opening the house in its current form. The menu blends down-to-earth regional character with international gourmet ideas, and Jason sources many ingredients from local growers.
Sea bass is treated like scallops with an Asian interpretation. The vegetarian course builds around several forms of celery. Jason favors dry-aged beef, often cooked medium-rare under a wild garlic crust and served with anchovies and dates braised together. Tasting menus run up to seven courses, and the à la carte list keeps classics such as cordon bleu and roast beef.
The dining room is spacious and elegant, with a Scandinavian-inspired living room feel. Niklas pours from around 400 labels, some available by Coravin, and a separate wine bar offers the list too.
