As our Christmas gift to each other, Dietmar and I decided to take each other out to the 3 Star Restaurant Bareiss in the Black Forest. We have been watching a lot of cooking shows lately and wanted to know what the cream of the crop in the gourmet food world is really like. I was a little worried we would feel out of place (our little car certainly felt out of place), but all service staff made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The sommelier was probably a little disappointed that we were not interested in the huge wine menu, but we decided beforehand we were going to be ourselves, and wine is just not our interest. Instead we went all out on the food and decided on the 8 course "Degustationsmenu". But before the menu even started they served four very different and very delicious "Grüße aus der Küche" - we especially liked the steak tartare and a scallop on couscous. Initially we were too embarrased to take pictures of our food, but eventually we felt that it was just too fancy to not take pictures. So here are a few pictures of our visit and of the later courses.
This was our menu. My personal favorite was the second course. Dietmar really liked the third (I think it was the white truffle they grated over the food that impressed him the most).
This was course 4. The little dark piles on top of the meat is Périgord Truffle.
This was course 5, I'm still not sure about the chocolate sauce, but the meat was delicious.
Course 6 was a the cheese course. There were three huge trays full of various cheeses. Here are Dietmar's choices.
Course 7 and 8 were dessert courses. I had never eaten gold before.
They even brough little chocolates and a variety of sweet treats. You can see these in the background of this picture.
This was the view from our table at the end of our meal - we were the last guests to leave (we started our adventure at noon and were finished a little before 4 in the afternoon).
The restaurant is a part of a hotel. Here are a few pictures from the outside.
Wow, this was a very exciting and delicious experience! It was very worth it!
