Restaurant with an event space, a beautiful beer garden, and a landlord's apartment for rent.

Do you have experience in the hospitality industry and dream of becoming self-employed by running your own establishment? Do you want to realize your own ideas, make your own decisions, and successfully implement your own gastronomic concept? Then this opportunity might be perfect for you! Starting November 1st, 2026, or by individual agreement, we are offering a lease for our restaurant, including a function room, and one of the most beautiful beer gardens in the region – located directly on the Elz river in Kenzingen. The sooner you decide, the more likely you are to benefit from the upcoming Christmas season, with corporate events and Christmas parties, still in 2026.

Seating capacity:
Restaurant with adjoining room: approximately 70
Bar seating: 12
Function room (gallery): approximately 75
Beer garden seating: approximately 120-150

In addition to the restaurant space, a holiday apartment (2.5 rooms, approximately 65 square meters) will also be included in the lease. We offer the tenant a reduced initial rent for the first two years:
To give the future tenant the best possible start and to make the initial phase easier, the rent is deliberately reduced for the first two years. This provides more financial flexibility to build the business, attract a loyal customer base, and develop the full potential of the location. Attractive and predictable cost structure:
The monthly costs consist of the rent, utilities, and the rent for the holiday apartment/owner's apartment. The tenant has a choice regarding the owner's apartment:
They can use it themselves or take over the existing rental agreement, benefiting from the attractive and regular rental income. Thus, the apartment offers either additional personal living space or a reliable source of extra income. What else is offered:
+++ NO BREWERY OBLIGATION +++
+++ LOW RENT +++
+++ HIGH TURNOVER +++ The existing hotel business on the same site provides a solid foundation for a consistent base revenue, as numerous international hotel guests stay at the Hotel Mühleinsel, thus ensuring an existing customer base. The currently limited availability of comfortable and attractive restaurants in Kenzingen creates a significant market gap:
In particular, there is a lack of suitable venues for private and business events of all kinds – from weddings, birthday and christening celebrations, to memorial services and corporate events. This means that the concept addresses an existing need within the Kenzingen population that has been inadequately met, and offers great potential to quickly build a broad and loyal customer base and directly serve the existing demand in the region. For health reasons, we ourselves – much to our regret – can no longer continue to operate the restaurant.

The "MÜHLEINSEL" restaurant is located approximately 200 meters from the main street, yet centrally situated on the edge of the old town of Kenzingen, on a small island in the middle of the Elz river.

It's only a 5-minute walk from the train station.

Our loyal customers particularly appreciate the restaurant's fantastic location directly on the Elz river.

The area from which our regular customers come extends from Freiburg, Ortenau, Emmendingen, Kaiserstuhl, Lahr, Offenburg, and even reaches France and Switzerland. Golfers, in particular (the Europapark golf course is 7 km away), are frequent and welcome guests.
