Drexlers

Drexlers is a market-driven seasonal restaurant blending Baden tradition with Mediterranean refinement and selective international, notably Asian, influences. Since 2020 the team pursues a clear commitment to quality, sustainability and provenance: they favour regional producers, prefer organic ingredients, source fish only from responsible breeders and cultivate relationships with suppliers they meet personally. The kitchen highlights wild local herbs, carefully prepared ferments and always-housemade pasta, presenting a changing tasting menu in four, five or six courses with an optional curated wine pairing; co‑founder and wine specialist Ralph Schmidt shapes an extensive, thoughtfully chosen wine list, and the restaurant was awarded the Green Michelin Star in 2025. An intimate, wine-focused neighbourhood restaurant in central Freiburg, Drexlers offers warm, hospitable service and a contemporary, relaxed dining vibe centred on food-and-wine pairing; the team aims to make guests comfortable and welcome. The market-led, seasonal cuisine combines regional Baden ingredients with Mediterranean and selected international (notably Asian) influences, with clear flavours and respect for the product; techniques include housemade pasta, ferments and preparations that showcase wild herbs and responsibly sourced fish. Mario Fuchs is head chef. Specialties include housemade Coppa from Mangalica pork; Bachforelle (freshwater trout) with bouillabaisse-style preparation; two preparations of guinea fowl (Perlhuhn); homemade pasta and ramen from the restaurant’s noodle cellar; and seasonal dishes featuring wild herbs and house-made ferments.
