Three styles, one standard
Pick a direction, we build your menu around it. All styles combine: an Asian accent in a classic menu, a vegan course in a multi-course dinner.
Clean classic, refined execution
Seasonal classic from the Markgräflerland
We cook with what the region offers. Few frills, plenty of depth, sauce craft at Eckert level.
- Flambéed Black Forest trout · horseradish · apple
- Markgräfler beef broth · pot-au-feu · sorrel
- Arctic char · chervil root · beurre blanc
- Saddle of Markgräfler venison · quince · juniper
- Buttermilk parfait · mirabelle · elderflower
Nicolai’s signature
Asia meets southern Baden
Acidity, spice, umami on a Baden base. No pan-Asian cliché, targeted accents, regional produce.

Vegan as standard
Plant-based, no compromise
We treat plant produce to the same standard as meat. Fermentation, smoking, depth. Not a side, the lead.
