Traube

"A beautiful historical house in the small wine-growing village of Blansingen. The couple who run the place have plenty of experience in high-end gastronomy (Maaemo in Oslo, La Vie in Osnabrück), and it's immediately obvious that professionals are at work here. Headed up by the charming Daniela Hasse, the front-of-house team is pleasantly informal, chatty and highly professional. Canadian-born head chef Brian Wawryk never fails to impress with his meticulous craftsmanship and well-balanced dishes. His modern cuisine has a clear Nordic character, but also focuses on regional tradition, including ingredients preserved the year before. Insider tip: in winter, try to bag yourself the small table in the "Kuschelecke" ("cosy corner") by the tiled stove! The leafy terrace beckons in summer. Bear in mind that Traube is also a great place to stay overnight." - Michelin Inspector
