Our
Promise of Quality
At Wald & Schlosshotel Friedrichsruhe we set the highest standards in terms of quality and enjoyment. In the middle of the Hohenlohe Gourmet Land, which offers us a great variety of products, we attach great importance to offering our guests a unique and unforgettable culinary experience.
Our credo is sustainable enjoyment and outstanding quality – we have a deep respect for nature and therefore strive to be able to reflect this understanding in our offers.
That is why we work closely with local farmers, producers and suppliers to offer you the best of Hohenlohe. Our range of products is complemented by herbs and flowers from the hotel’s own farm garden, which is maintained and harvested regularly as part of a project by our trainees.
Already at breakfast you can explore the delicious variety of our region:
Here you can enjoy your coffee, from the finest roasting craft of Kaffeehaus Hagen or your tea from the traditional house Ronnefeldt to freshly baked Demeter bread from Hofgut Hermersberg. For a perfect start to the day, we serve you the finest egg dishes made from local organic eggs, delicious hams and sausages from local producers, artisanal cheeses and our own honey from bees close to the hotel grounds.
Our kitchen team under the direction of star chef Boris Rommel processes the products and ingredients of the region with great passion and expertise into delicious dishes – whether Mäusdorfer Landgockel, homemade tagliatelle or a cheese selection from the village cheese dairy Geifertshofen.
Our high standards of regionality are optimised by a seasonal design of the menus and complemented by international products of the highest quality.
Our wine cellars, filled with the best regional wines from the surrounding vineyards in Württemberg, complemented by well-known Palatinate winemakers
and international top wines to the finest French wines, complete your exclusive tasting experience.
