The story
Restaurant Schloss Döttingen in Freiburg brings a relaxed Mediterranean approach to the Lorettoberg. This Mediterranean kitchen earned a 1.5 spoon rating from the Schlemmer Atlas for its thoughtful menu and adaptable cooking style. The Art Nouveau structure opened in 1988. It blends warm interiors with sweeping city views. The culinary program shifts with the calendar, highlighting spring asparagus and autumn chanterelles while keeping everyday meals fresh.
The lunch lineup leans toward bright Mediterranean flavors rather than heavy tradition. Guests regularly order the Smashed Avocado with house bread and cherry tomatoes, or the Nordic Salmon served with boiled potatoes and horseradish dip. Hearty options like Käsespätzle with melted onions and Swiss cheese sit beside grilled salmon and Argentine roast beef. Even desserts follow a straightforward path, featuring Kaiserschmarrn with warm cherries or a simple Affogato.
Sunny afternoons belong to the outdoor terrace, where visitors stretch out under open sky. The bar menu mirrors that casual energy, offering Prosecco Valdo DOCG, Hugo cocktails with elderflower syrup, and Campari Soda made with crisp mixers. Live acoustic performances fill the space when the sun goes down. Morning coffee rounds out the day, served with Black Forest oat milk until mid-afternoon.
