Kreuzblume

Top choice in Freiburg


On a flower-festooned lane, this pocket-sized restaurant with clever backlighting, slick monochrome decor and a menu fizzing with bright, sunny flavours attracts a rather food-literate clientele. Each dish combines just a few hand-picked ingredients in bold and tasty ways: apple, celery and chestnut soup, say, or roast duck breast with wild herb salad. Service is tops.
