FYI: the name on the windows of this restaurant reads "L'Opera Romano" vs "Romano"…read more We wandered into this place because it was the only thing open late at night in the town/along the promenade. This is a very quaint, romantic looking restaurant, with lit candles on every table and a piano in the middle of the dining room. When you walk in, it smells AMAZING. We were seated quickly but it took quite a while before the waiter came back to take our order. I think you may just need to expect a slow paced meal when dining here. We ordered a tortellini in cream sauce / carbonara, and a shrimp pasta. Both were outstanding, and at €9 and €12 each, I thought they were an outstanding value. Like all German restaurants, expect that you'll need to buy a bottle of you want water, and also the waitperson will only come around if you call them over. Overall, if you're not in a hurry, this is an excellent option.

The views are gorgeous from the top of the castle and some lower level platforms. You can climb the walls and stairs and really have free range to do as you pleases this is not a restored castle, there is no tours you literally are on your own exploring castle ruins. I would strongly recommend as this was such a fun experience

The building itself is in ruins but well worth a visit: to look at and, of course, listen to the wind harp installed in what used to be the great hall, to climb the windy stairs and investigate the different levels of the castle, and to ascend to the top of the tower, from which you have stunning views over the Rhine valley and Alsace on one side and the Black Forest on the other. Entry is free and there is a car park nearby. The surrounding wooded area and the rock formation Battert are great for picnics and walks of different difficulties. And if you don't want to provide your own refreshments, there is a restaurant/hotel to the left of the entrance to the castle. A great day out for the whole family!

Wow! What a great find! I was craving some good Schnitzel, so I looked on Yelp, and this place came…read moreup. I read about it and saw it had a Michelin rating, and the reviews were great! Plus, it was out of the city center, more of a neighborhood place. As fate would have it, I was on a walk and saw that this place was minutes away. It was early, around 5 PM, and they were just opening for dinner. I strolled the streets until I arrived, and walked in through the back, and straight into their beautiful courtyard. The courtyard was beautiful, several tables all set and ready for the dinner crowd. I walked toward the restaurant and saw the daily special board, but there were no staff, at least outside. I checked out the board and saw they had Pfefferlingcremesuppe, which is one of my favorite foods! A minute later, a woman walked out and greeted me. I told her I knew it was a Friday, but would there be a table for 2 available? She smiled and said I could come now or at 8:30- I chose 8:30 as 5 pm was a little too early to eat. I left and came back at 8:30, the place was buzzing, and the courtyard was packed! My dining partner couldn't make it, so it was just me. The same woman was there to greet me, she smiled when she saw me and brought me to a table in the middle of the courtyard. I was seated and given a menu. I ordered a cold beer and perused the menu. While there were many great things on the menu, I already knew what I wanted, so when she returned, I ordered the soup and the Schnitzel. The soup was delicious and a large serving, and when I finished, my Schnitzel arrived, with fried potatoes and bacon, and a nice salad. Even though I was by myself, I immensely enjoyed the atmosphere; this place is all local, all having a great time, and friends greeting each other. Service was on point, attentive without being overbearing, and friendly! I had another beer and enjoyed the ambiance, and then paid my bill and walked back to my hotel. Such a great dinner and experience! I will definitely be back here on my next visit to Baden Baden!
