Gasthaus zum Kranz

Freiburg


There's always a good buzz at this rustic, quintessentially Badisch tavern. Pull up a hefty chair at one of the even heftier timber tables for well-prepared regional favourites such as roast suckling pig, Maultaschen (pork and spinach ravioli) and Sauerbraten (beef pot roast with vinegar, onions and peppercorns). Service can be hit-and-miss.
