Das garbo zum Löwen
Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen, Germany




The Experience
From Michelin Guide
In the restaurant of Zum Löwen hotel, located in the centre of the village, the attractive decor embodies a combination of rural charm and elegance, with warm wood finishings, a tiled stove, pretty fabrics and high-quality tableware. At the helm, Marcel Kazda cooks up ambitious cuisine with classical foundations and seasonal influences – the quality of the produce is excellent. Well-thought-out, sophisticated and intensely flavoursome dishes come in two set menus comprising four to six courses: Inspiration à la Kazda Menu and Low-Carb Menu – an appealing contemporary alternative that steers clear of refined sugar. The individual courses of these set menus can also be ordered à la carte. At lunchtime (Wed-Fri), they serve a few classics such as Caesar salad or Wiener schnitzel in addition to the Business Menü. To accompany the set menus, there are excellent wine pairings, as well as fantastic non-alcoholic alternatives. Philipp Spielmann, an experienced sommelier, heads the outstanding front-of-house team.
Unique Things

- Two-menu structure with clear intent: an “Inspiration” menu alongside a Baden-rooted menu, both built in 4 to 6 courses.
- Hotel dining without hotel blandness: rural materials and a tiled stove, paired with a Michelin-level, detail-driven kitchen.
- Pairings beyond wine: strong alcohol-free pairings sit alongside the wine programme.
Ingredient Stars
From Visitor Experiences
