Feel Black Forest Soul Food, taste the Black Forest. At Makidan, the menu changes daily, shaped by what the landscape around Durbach has to offer. Every plate carries the signature of the region: Black Forest, Rhine Plain, vineyards. The wine pairing comes exclusively from Durbach, because what sits on the plate deserves what has grown from the same soil.

What that means reveals itself at the table.

Every plate in Makidan tells you where it comes from. Head chef Jan Hoffmann draws from the landscape around Durbach, from the Black Forest, the Rhine Plain and the vineyards, and brings together the earthiness of Baden with the aromatic richness of Alsace into a cuisine of conviction and depth. Black Forest Soul Food, felt with every bite.

Cuisine with character and provenance

Jan Hoffmann's cuisine begins outside. In the forest, across the meadows and among the vineyards around Durbach, he finds his inspiration, and right here, in Makidan, it finds its place. What lands on the plate follows no trend. It follows nature. Meet Jan Hoffmann.
