€€Seasonal Cuisine, Farm to table
It is not without good reason that this 300-year-old restaurant has so many regulars. Here, they honour tradition while managing to keep up with the times – and that goes for both the decor and the food, which is not only beautifully presented but also of the highest quality. The Swabian cuisine follows the seasons and draws on international influences. The emphasis is on regional ingredients, including meat and sausage products made on site in their own butcher's shop. As well as à la carte dishes, a three- or four-course set menu is available.

Zum Ochsen in Kernen focuses on seasonal, farm-to-table cuisine. Many reviews praise the friendly service, homely atmosphere, and high-quality Swabian dishes, including fresh asparagus and vegetarian options like cauliflower steaks. However, recent feedback suggests inconsistency following management changes, citing issues such as over-salted vegetables, poorly cooked poultry, and unfriendly staff. While the historic venue and covered terrace remain appealing, the dining experience varies significantly, with some noting a decline from its former standards.
Suitable for diners seeking traditional Swabian flavors who can tolerate potential service inconsistencies; check recent reviews before visiting.
