Karlsruhe Enjoyment Summer

Karlsruhe Enjoyment Summer — a distributed festival

Unlike classic summer festivals, the Karlsruhe Enjoyment Summer does not take place in one location — but is spread across 13 selected Karlsruhe restaurants that agree on a joint menu format: each restaurant offers an exclusive three-course menu for two people at a fixed price of €99. The promotion runs from June 5 to September 30, 2026 — four months in which connoisseurs can explore the culinary richness of the city at an attractive price.

13 Restaurants — a cross-section of the city's taste

The participating restaurants in 2026 represent the top of Karlsruhe's gastronomy — from casual fine dining near Michelin star level to traditional Baden wine taverns:

• Restaurant 5 SEN:SES — upscale star cuisine
• Anders auf dem Turmberg — restaurant with a view on the Turmberg
• B17 – Restaurant | Bar | Lounge — modern bistronomy
• DOM – Grill Kitchen Bar — steak and grill specialties
• GINA'S Pizza | Bar — upscale Italian format
• Kesselhaus Karlsruhe — industrial monument with excellent cuisine
• Landgasthof Zum Goldenen Anker — traditional Baden gastronomy
• Oberländer Weinstube — classic Baden wine tavern
• Restaurant zeit | geist — innovative regional cuisine
• Rim Wang — Thai specialties
• Schwitzer's Brasserie & Lounge — French brasserie
• Schwitzer's PUR — Fine Dining
• Restaurant Zum kleinen Ketterer — modern bistro with Baden roots

The Concept

The menu format is the same everywhere: three courses, two people, €99. What differs is the culinary signature of each establishment. From star level to down-to-earth country inns, from modern Asian fusion to classic Baden Spätzle-Sauerbraten — the Enjoyment Summer is the opportunity to get to know Karlsruhe's restaurant scene across all styles.

Reservation with the keyword "Genuss-Sommer"

When making a reservation, you must mention the keyword "Genuss-Sommer" — this is the only way the restaurant guarantees the special price menu. Seats are limited per restaurant, so early booking is recommended — especially for popular weekend dates or larger groups.

Karlsruhe Tourism Strategy

The Enjoyment Summer is initiated by KTG Karlsruhe Tourism GmbH. The approach has established itself as a successful marketing initiative: the restaurants gain reach and regular customers, KTG showcases Karlsruhe as a culinary destination, and connoisseurs benefit from an attractive price-performance ratio. A win-win construction that has made the summer format a firm Karlsruhe tradition.
