"La Toscana is one of my two favorite Italians. After moving from the Gasthaus Löwen to the Gasthaus Ochsen, I must say that the atmosphere has improved again. The restaurant is decorated in a typical southern Italian, Mediterranean style. As in the other reviews, the food is very good. I recommend the Gnocchi 4 Formaggi : . Only sometimes the young waiter, who, for him surely unconsciously, seems often intrusive."

"The vineyard was already positive in the previous year when we visited Durbach. The hotel is surrounded by a large plot, just like a park described. Good 2 weeks before our visit at the end of October I reserved by phone. A very friendly contact, so you have a good feeling. After the sunny day this evening the sky above the Orteau gave everything Durbach's dramatic sky and the vine was on our arrival in particularly beautiful light. Immediately after entering the house we were kindly received, the vaccination certificates were sighted, our wardrobe was removed and accompanied in the restaurant to our reserved table. Nice! That was my first thought of the event and arrival. And here we got time. Very pleasant to the eve. Surprisingly spacious the restaurant, wonderfully divided. Pleasant privacy to the neighboring tables. Probably it wasn't different from the sad pandemic. The whole room pulled us into the spell with its very noble farmhouse. Especially the elaborate woodwork fascinated my husband, carpenter son, very much. Stylish Everything was simply harmonious and thoughtful. Carpet, curtains, reinforced table linen. Certainly, the noise level was never unpleasant or disturbing tonight. Even after almost every table was occupied. There were also some cuckoo clocks in the room in the evening. Present the absolutely pleasant and accommodating service. First we ordered 1 bottle of mineral water, 0.75 l – proud 7.20 €. One second followed. Unfortunately. Because such water prices will always be a thorn in my eye. There we pay for ordinary wine making, 2 glasses Durbacher Rieslingsekt, for each 0.1 l € 7.90. We were kindly supplied with these drinks. Schmalz, herbal butter, olive chefs and two fresh breads were served. Fresh bread It was easy to drink. At the beginning and main meal my husband chose from the regular menu. I liked the offered 3 or 4 gear menu well and I chose 3 gears to appeal 44.00 €. Optically convinced the appetizers of fried mussels Gambas – stone mushroom Risotto – pumpkin – lobster poma, € 19,00. Tasteful too. Climbing mussels Gambas – mushroom Risotto – pumpkin – lobster puma The seafood was perfectly fried. In addition to the announced pumpkin, crisp broccoli and melted cocktail tomates brought color to the plate. The Risotto was much better than the restaurant of the day before and cheese was dispensed with. The mushroom aroma should have been more accurate. The lobster puma had fallen a bit together, tasteful but beautifully aromatic. A very fine appetizer. A bit clearer my appetizer from the menu, simply announced as Charantaismelone Garnele. Charantaisma Shrimp The sugar melon brought summery aromas on the plate in different textures. Surprising the presentation of shrimps as crispy sushi maki and crispy eggs. A very well-tuned and appealing appetizer. The waiting time for our most important foods was perfect. For this purpose my husband ordered a dry pig, € 0.25 l, 8.60. And I am Cuvée Red (Cabernet Sauvignon Pinot Noir), 0.25 l € 9.20. The main dish of my husband: roasted navy medallions with aromatic herbs – Ratatouillegemüse – Stone mushroom Risotto fine noodles € 36,00. The Risotto could easily be exchanged in noodles. Variety instead of two consecutive stone mushroom Risotto. Seed tulip – ratatouille – noodles The sea mandrel is perfectly prepared. Two juicy drinks on the spicy Ratatouillegemüse. Very nice for that, the piquant roasted Pimentos. Pasta al dente. Man very happy. This is my main course. Rehschnitzel from the Keule – Spätburgunderjus – Pfifferlinge – Apfelrotkraut – Haselnussspätzle. Rehschnitzel – Spätburgunderjus – Pfifferlinge – apple red spice – hazelnut spice The Scavenger is not panic, but fried beautiful roast stars. Inside still pink – it must be so! Rosa Reh A beautiful part of the pipes was partly covered by the roe. The sauce was well lubricated and probably slightly refined with cream. My performance of the Spätburgunderjus was different. Dark, unbound, with more burgundy aroma. But there was nothing to bring out. And the wonderful hazelnut shoots almost stole the show. The servicemen were really great. According to the document especially on our table Sandra May. Service as we love him. Friendly, simple and attentive. And so light-footed! If Ms. May reads this post: Thank you for the sandals. They were ordered immediately, are really as comfortable as they worked and are waiting for their use at warmer temperatures! We were both very saturated. The dessert of my menu was still outside. Delice from Durbacher Zwetschgen – White chocolate ice cream was served with double cutlery. And I was grateful for my husband's support. All meals were very appealing. “Our” Dessert finished this episode. Delice from Durbacher Zwetschgen – White chocolate ice cream I will have the fine fruits for me. The white chocolate ice cream was wonderfully tender and waits for tasty. The tortured charity with Durbacher Zwetschge was certainly successful, but too sweet. What my constant companions here at GastroGuide are not surprised. My husband liked the sweet challenge. An evening as we wanted. We intend to travel back to Orteau. Perfect for an extended weekend. And then we will gladly book again in the vineyard. In summer. Enjoy the beautiful garden area. With the super comfortable sandals."

"We have extended a night with half board before loud enthusiasm. Rarely experienced friendly staff with high service standards. The Junior Suite is excellent, like a breakfast buffet that leaves nothing to be desired. The half board and quality of drinks are perfect. We like to come back. Thank you for the hospitality and great service."

"A month ago, my wife and I were walking in the Ortau, including an overnight stay in Kappelrodeck. [here link] And the community pointed out that in Kappelrodeck, more precisely in the district of Waldulm, there would have been a more worthwhile guest house than the one booked for the hike. Our way also led us past the next morning and the seen reads promisingly. Commercially my way back to Milan, and on the way back there was a night stop over. I remembered the recommendation for the vineyard and booked me a room in Waldulm. So I met in Waldulm at the Gasthaus Rebstock on the evening of June 5th. If you go to the reception, you will be referred to a telephone. Then the service arrives in the restaurant and asks for the name and desire, and apparently only when the answer is satisfactory, someone comes out and accepts the waiting guest. However, he can marvel at the legacy of some obviously drinking guest rounds. How to register in a nuclear power plant! Okay, then I got keys. The room then for a price of 56 EUR for me alone really very neat and with a very good PLV. I started to reconcile with the vine after the somewhat rough reception. I had booked a table in the restaurant and, in view of the brittle heat on my evening of visit, it was planned in the covered terrace area. Well thought, fine! I felt welcome again. So I took a look at the very extensive wine map. The vineyard attaches a great deal of importance to its wine offering and even in the four-digit euro area, who wants to die. The wine map is also good for every Grand Hotel or star restaurant. I was a bit more modest and ordered a Riesling in the barrique. Weingut Danner-Zöllin from Durbach, vintage 2014. He would accompany me well over the chosen dinner. In food, I went the menu way, one of the two menus was ordered. Food and wine map can be viewed on HP. First of all, a greeting of the kitchen, an asparagus mousse for this mousse I had to put something to the side of the Riesling. Otherwise, a perfect kitchen greeting for a Wednesday evening, which also showed almost 30 degrees on the thermometer at 7 pm. Bread with fresh cheese and olives came to the table. At some point the first of four courses came from the kitchen. First and fourth passages consisted of tasting ports of various dishes from the map. I was served on a plate with small foams from the asparagus with carrot foam. Foam on foam is a little imaginary, and what carrots make a good addition to a very strong spiced asparagus soup does not open to me. Improved, I dedicated myself to fried gamba on potato salad with beard. Increasing to a little bit. Perfectly fried shrimp, well freed from intestine and shell. Bärlaucharoma (a last time in 2019) in South German potato salad. That was more promising, to the next plate, again asparagus cocktail from the asparagus with watchdog. Salad at a level with his court. Light, well-fitting Vinaigrette with raw asparagus, a beautiful wax-soft fried egg on top, spring kitchen. At the end not so light kitchen. Watchballs in the bloodworst coat with plumb. Day winners at the appetizers! Well cooked, cold in the bloodworm skirt, perfectly matching. ****! After reasonable waiting time it went to Gang 2 The court was a reason to order this menu. Roasted gooseberries with cuts from yeast bean and Rhabarberchutney. The dish was high kitchen level, the liver fried to the point from superior quality, perfectly accompanied by an airy pastry and a contrasting Chutney. Great! I asked for some time to the main course that worked very well, and after a pleasant time came the next plate. Medallion and chop from lamb back with ratatouille from asparagus. Two spring messengers on the plate that made visually happy. The chop was divided into two pieces and just like the medallion in the bread coat perfectly cooked to the point, very delicate it was consumed without problems. This was accompanied by cream potatoes, which was a grape for me, well prepared. Joy also prepared the served jus in the separately served saucers. It was a highlight and so good that the spoon was consumed. Since I know the Borgi, I have no more inhibitions, soaking according to good content completely empty, mea culpa! In fact, kitchen team had managed to increase gear to gear. Before the dessert the Riesling paused. I read a glass of this: from the Gasthof's own winery an ice wine, 2011 Spätburgunder Weißherbst from the barrique. Very dense spicy notes offered themselves, hopefully this matched the dessert plate with three components. Component one parfait of caplodecker strawberries in the tree cake shell. It didn't go to the ice wine. A well-made parfait, creatively packed in the pastry coat. Ordinary. To the second small plate Crane cream with sorbet from the rhubarb called this second component. I don't like it if there's anything on the cream Brulee! And not at all anything that makes the crust sluggish. So the sorbet eats very quickly, and then a good CB, to which the wine fits well. One component still lacked mousse au chocolat with inlaid cherry. Top rider of dessert selection! A very herb-bitter soaked cream, as I prepare it at home with much dark chocolate and espresso! ****! Cherry must be, in the Waldulmer environment grow incredibly many cherry trees. In terms of food, the kitchen had laid a high bar for just under 70 EUR, which it could hold in the vast majority of dishes. I was happy about everything. After the somewhat UN-hearted greeting at check-in, the two ladies did not give themselves any blows in the service on my evening of visit. The restaurant was well filled, there would have been no room on the terrace. Nevertheless, all guests always stayed in sight, the glasses were refilled and always was asked about the dishes. That was very professional with appropriate cordiality. So I can come to the overall conclusion. The hotel offers comfortable rooms, a very neat breakfast menu next morning and a sophisticated kitchen. I recommend the package and will be happy to come back on occasion."

"I stayed 2 nights in the gasthaus here, and ate dinner here both nights. Since the restaurant is listed separately, I'll write separate reviews...We were there during their Christmas market (small town, Weihnactsmarkt only open 10-12 Dec). The place was packed both nights, with locals gathered for family or company holiday parties. Still, the busy staff accommodated us without delay. The restaurant claimed they specialized in wild game, but we didn't have any. Wife had the schweinemedallions, I had kalb cordon blue. Kids shared schnitzel. The servings were large, and absolutely delicious. The prices were a little higher than normal, but well worth it. The restaurant was festively decorated for Christmas, and it is very obvious the owner/manager took great pride in the restaurant. We loved the food, and the staff were friendly and even spoke fair English. And we stayed there to visit Strausborg (30 minutes away). Half the price and twice the value. And the town of Oberkirch is cute too. Very family-oriented Christmas market of there own, only 200 meters from the restaurant. Plenty of free parking too."
