Haftstein defies criticism: Golden Apple” inspires with new ideas!
In Rottweil, the gastronomic landscape has changed enormously with the reopening of the “Goldener Apfel” by Samuel Haftstein. Since July 2025, the native of Rottweiler has shown that he has a good knack for innovative concepts. The traditional restaurant shines in new splendor and invites guests to put together their dishes according to their personal taste. The possibility of creating dishes using the modular principle has already attracted one or two gourmets. However, Haftstein is aware that critical voices are raised when it comes to prices and portion sizes. “The prices are transparent and the quality of the ingredients plays a big role,” he explains in the interview - with the reservation that he has not received any complaints about the portion size and also offers seconds if requested. Schwarzwälder Bote reports a growing gratitude among the guests who value the “Epfel” as a social meeting place.
Haftstein has not only set itself the goal of continuing the traditional cuisine, but also of creating a place for social evenings, family celebrations and relaxed lunches. The modular approach reflects a contemporary trend in which individuality and personalization play a central role. These developments are not just limited to Rottweiler gastronomy. The entire sector is moving towards experience gastronomy, with individual needs and creative approaches becoming increasingly important. According to current trends in the catering industry, as can be found on Hoga Professional, a lot of emphasis is placed on innovative menus and healthy, sustainable options. This is where Haftstein uses regional ingredients and a conscious approach to food waste.
New café and regional cuisine
For everyone who wants to enjoy the convivial atmosphere in the “Goldener Apfel”, the new “Apfelküchle” café is coming soon. This will not only offer a small lunch, but also promote a meeting for all generations. “The idea is to strengthen the quality of life and sense of community in Rottweil,” says Haftstein. He is personally committed to an open exchange with his guests and emphasizes the importance of being able to address concerns directly.
The current menu reflects a mix of classic regional cuisine and innovative culinary approaches. This ensures that all generations and tastes are taken into account. The “Golden Apple” positions itself not only as a restaurant, but also as a meeting place for the community. Goldener Apfel emphasizes that the popular bowling alley and sociable evenings in the beer garden offer further incentives to visit the traditional house.
Overall, it can be said that the catering industry in Rottweil is looking to the future under Haftsstein's leadership. The mix of tradition, individualization and high quality standards is a step in the right direction. “We want people to enjoy being with us, to feel comfortable and to enjoy themselves together,” summarizes Haftstein optimistically. If current developments are any indication, the “Golden Apple” will certainly become a centerpiece of the Rottweiler dining scene.
