Idyllically set amid meadows and fruit trees overlooking Heidelberg, the historical hamlet of Kohlhof is something of a culinary island in the forest. The cobbled inner courtyard exudes a rural charm, making it the perfect spot for an aperitif. Head into the inviting dining area with its lovingly decorated interior and pleasingly intimate atmosphere. The open kitchen sends out a well-devised and modern 13-course set menu. Head chef Robert Rädel has a highly creative touch and brings regional and seasonal produce to the fore. Much of it is sourced in the local area, including the wine. The chefs also deliver the dishes and talk you through them. Only German wines are available – choose for yourself in the wine cellar!
