Due to altered weather in Schwarzwald, we decided to change plans and instead of a day of hiking, we opted for lunch in Baden-Baden (close to the border of France). We were able to schedule a table on a short notice at the 1-star restaurant Le Jardin de France.

We gave up the hiking and changed plans…

Chef Patron Stéphan Bernhard runs Le Jardin de France together with his wife Sophie. They arrived in Baden-Baden from Alsace in 1998 and the restaurant is located in the heart of the charming city center.

Classical French cuisine is served here and since we had a dinner scheduled at Bareiss in the evening, we decided to choose the “Business Lunch” a 35 €.

The main course was a fish dish with cod and potato as its main ingredients. Simple but good!

Coffee:

Coffee and petit-four

The coffee was (as usual) not included and was served together with a chocolate truffle.

We shared an okay bottle of Bourgogne from 2009 during the lunch.

Summary:

This was both a nice and very praiseworthy lunch with classical French influences.
