Oben
A one-Michelin-star restaurant in the forest hamlet of Kohlhof outside the city, using exclusively regional ingredients and German wines; booking far in advance is required.
Located in the forest hamlet of Kohlhof in the hills outside Heidelberg, this restaurant holds one Michelin star in 2026. Chef Robert Rädel's multi-course set menu focuses on ingredients sourced from the surrounding Rhine and Odenwald regions, completely avoiding imported ingredients and saltwater fish. The wine list consists entirely of German wines from within a 1.5-hour drive. The open kitchen allows chefs to serve and explain the dishes themselves, and guests are invited into the kitchen for one of the courses. Seating is very limited and often fully booked, though the official website provides a link for last-minute cancellations. The set menu is around 180–185 EUR, with a vegetarian version available. Credit cards are not accepted. Reaching the restaurant from the Old Town requires driving or taking a taxi; parking is available on-site.
