"Freiburg's most ambitious dinner — chefs Christoph Kaiser and Cedrik Wildenheim's region-led tasting menus by the Münstermarkt, Michelin-starred and Green-Starred since 2024."
About Jacobi
Jacobi sits on Herrenstraße 43 in the old town of Freiburg, a few steps from the Münstermarkt and its cathedral square. It is the city's leading fine-dining room, awarded one Michelin star and a Green Star in 2024 and holding both in 2025, where the kitchen turns the markets of Baden and the Black Forest into a contemporary tasting menu rather than relying on luxury imports.
For Freiburg's other notable tables, compare the one-star Zur Wolfshöhle, the refined Zirbelstube at the Colombi or the long-running Eichhalde.
The Kitchen
Chefs de cuisine Christoph Kaiser and Cedrik Wildenheim cook a seven-course set menu, extendable to nine, built on strictly regional, high-quality produce rather than luxury ingredients. The combinations are precise and inventive — pike with cauliflower and hazelnut, venison with chervil root and beetroot, quince with Jerusalem artichoke and chocolate — and the Green Star recognises the kitchen's sustainable, local sourcing. A smaller carte-blanche menu runs around €89 on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, with lighter lunch and bistro options on Saturdays.
The Room
The dining room, in the Hotel Schwarzwälder Hof, is calm and understated — warm, modern and intimate rather than grand — with service that is knowledgeable without being formal. It is a room built for a slow tasting-menu evening, with a wine and pairing list that leans on the region. The old-town location, beside the Münster and its daily market, makes it a natural anchor for a special night in Freiburg.
Best for Anniversary
A Michelin-starred kitchen and an intimate old-town room make Jacobi a landmark anniversary dinner in Freiburg. The refinement and the tasting-menu pace also suit a memorable proposal, or a considered table to impress clients.
Not for
Not for diners after a quick, casual meal or à la carte flexibility — Jacobi is a starred tasting-menu room with a fixed, multi-course format and top-of-Freiburg prices, built for a long, special evening.
