The story
Restaurant Ferdinand in Offenburg builds its reputation on a steady blend of Badische tradition and Mediterranean technique. Owner and head chef Bruno Fies leads the pass with a clear focus on seasonality and precise execution. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded the kitchen two spoons for 2026, noting how the team transforms simple regional ingredients into layered plates. Brasserie-style copper pans line the back wall.
The menu shifts with availability, though certain preparations remain consistent favorites. Chef Fies prepares Gamba with slow roasted vegetables, while pumpkin fagottini appear dressed in a light curry sauce. Dessert courses often feature quince sorbet paired with gingerbread cream ice. Portions are plated on matte ceramic ware.
The dining room sits quietly in a residential neighborhood just outside the town center. A stone fireplace anchors the corner seating area. Wooden tables and soft lighting create a relaxed environment for both weekday lunches and weekend dinners.
