Hotel & Restaurant - Der Engel

They still exist. Those family run, top quality, with love to detail, proud of their work places. Engel in Sasbachwalden is one of those places. It is my 2nd time here. Despite being here for business, I enjoyed the local Black Forest atmosphere. Sasbachwalden and the Hotel Engel are perfectly located at the “entrance” to the amazing Black Forest. I guess the hotel has around 20 rooms, a fab restaurant and a breakfast that is so far ahead in quality of what you get in those big hotel boxes. The owner is the chef, was checking us in and suggested to stay for dinner. What a great choice. Top quality, nice wines and amazing service. The rooms are nice, some have balcony’s and they are designed with the traveler in mind. Wish I could give 10 points, Engel would deserve it. I will be back next week, for staying and entertaining customers. Already looking forward to it.

Dinner here was delightful. The service was excellent and the food beautifully prepared with great flavours. Three of us enjoyed pumpkin and apple soup, beef consommé and a fresh salad for starters followed by pork medallions, fresh local fish and slow cooked beef all of which were excellent. The staff were very helpful and efficient. Highly recommend this restaurant. With linen tablecloths and napkins it looks expensive but is reasonably priced. A must visit if in the area.

We stay at hotel Engel for two nights…and wanted to stay more nights !||This is an amazing gem in Sasbachwalden, where you will receive friendly and attentive service from some amazing staff…a service rarely seen in Europe! (And we travel a lot). The food is really great, both breakfast and dinner, and can be highly recommended too. The building is pure german charm and our room was absolutely amazing with a nice terrasse.||This is a must-vist gem and we will fore sure be back next year!

Serene view from the hotel room's window. Very helpful staff, excellent restaurant that offers a truly spectacular selection of wines. The room is not well equipped with charging stations and hence not really the room for business travellers, otherwise it's a fine blend of modern furnishing and 19th century vibe.

We stayed for three nights in April. Our room was lovely, it was worth paying the little extar for a balcony to enjoy the sunny mornings and warm evenings. We dined in the restaurant on our first night and the food was amazing, probably the highlight of our stay here. The staff were all friendly and they offer all the services you'd expect from a nice hotel.

What a Christmas menu with 4 courses plus some additional gratitudes. Food and service are excellent. Prices are on the higher side but definitely worth it. You will find typical dishes of the region in a perfected presentation. The interior of the restaurant is decorated somewhere in between a traditional and a modern restaurant of this region. They managed the gap and pushed the traditional ways to today's world without losing the personal and local touch.

My review is regarding the restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious ❤️

****So the Verdict**** The Place: It is quite renovated from the last time I visited here pre-pandemic. Although it is kinda new for eyes, They’ve managed to restore that old Black forest vibe that makes it so genuinely “Cozy”. The Modern touch is actually a very nice Idea together with its old style from the old interior of it. The Food: As always, Engel delivers the Best! Starting from their starters which consist of Scallops grilled at the top with glazed sugar like crust, Followed by the Main from their Menu Aged Steak which is marinated with some liquor to it that taste really good, Soup they have the traditional Spetzle in Brühe with Klötschen which is also good (Not too salty and the Klötschen give it abit of bite to the soup) and lastly, The Sorbet sampler that is made out of 100% Fruit juice extract. Overall, It was fantstically good 👍 The People: They’re still the same old women who worked from the last time. Still friendly and very accommodating to customers, even for Foreigners 👍 The Price: More on the High end Price. Although it is so, the Food and service you’ll get is well deserved for its Prices. Overall ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
