The take
The Take
The Vibe
Brasserie Barbara positions itself between formal Black Forest fine dining and casual lakeside cafés, delivering a considered, ingredient-led brasserie experience. The room sits within the Auerhahn hotel complex yet operates with its own logic, favoring an open kitchen that foregrounds technique and transparency. The cooking leans on the region’s produce traditions while aiming for culinary clarity rather than haute-mystique. The setting—directly across the road from Schluchsee—keeps the mood informal and scenic, pairing lake-town calm with a measured level of ambition in both menu and service.
Best For
The restaurant runs a daytime schedule (noon to 8:30pm) and suits guests looking for a late lunch, an early dinner, or a mid-afternoon plate after a morning on the water. Its à la carte format and approachable stance make it a reliable choice for families or groups staying at or visiting the Auerhahn wellness hotel, and for visitors who want culinary quality without the formality of multi-course tasting menus. Plan visits around daylight hours to enjoy the lakeside setting and relaxed daytime pace.
Ordering Tips
The menu emphasizes regional signatures—try the Black Forest croquetas for a local starter, order the beef tartare paired with French fries, or choose the local trout with pepper salsa for a lighter main. For a traditional, hearty option sample the fried black pudding with apple and mashed potatoes. The kitchen is open and the menu reads plainly, so pick a couple of these specialties to get a clear sense of the brasserie’s strengths.
