"Sophie and Stéphan Bernhard have made it their mission to indulge the diners of this city since 1998. Now they operate in the Stahlbad, a beautiful 19C building and former spa hotel in the centre of Baden-Baden, and also previously home to a Michelin-starred restaurant. A delightful ground-level conservatory affords views of the verdant surroundings and converts into a covered terrace in summer. The classic French cuisine by the chef-patron, a native Frenchman, is as much in great demand as it ever was. The dishes are ingredient-led, clearly structured and wonderfully harmonious. The front-of-house team, which includes the proprietress, is exceptionally cordial and accomplished, and the wine recommendations are second to none – the available selection is excellent. Tip: Attractively priced lunch deal Tue-Fri." - Michelin Inspector
