Zur Wolfshöhle

Zur Wolfshöhle is a fine-dining restaurant in the heart of Freiburg led by Chef Martin Fauster. Since 8 February 2022 it has been operated by Martin Fauster GmbH and is recognised in Selected guides. The restaurant presents multi-course menus and special guest-chef events, for example a six-course guest menu at EUR 225 per person, and a house wine list featuring wines from Kaiserstuhl, the Steiermark, Burgundy and Bordeaux. The dining experience emphasises craftsmanship and terroir-driven cooking. The team aims to provide guests an unforgettable, relaxed time. Presentation and imagery suggest an intimate, hospitality-driven setting. Cuisine is classical and seasonal, focused on pristine products and handcraft to accentuate original flavours. The kitchen places the product at its centre, lifting flavours through careful artisanal refinement and close collaboration with long-standing local suppliers; the menu emphasises regional sourcing from Markgräflerland, Kaiserstuhl and the Breisgau and offers seasonal tasting menus alongside à la carte dishes that change with the produce of the region. Fauster was born in the Steiermark and brings a background shaped by honest, high-quality produce and many years in elevated cuisine to a region rich in agricultural bounty between Markgräflerland, Kaiserstuhl and the Breisgau. Signature dishes include a crustacean cream soup with prawn; Fregola Sarda with beetroot and smoked eel; Poltinger lamb with green beans and aubergine; and a quark dumpling with apricot and tonka-bean ice cream.
