Maximilian and Marie-Luise Schranner's establishment is a haven of comfort and calm. They have lovingly transformed this traditional inn with a tasteful interior design concept. At the helm, Maximilian Schranner specialises in classic cuisine and proposes three set menus: the "Menü Gourmet", the "Menü vegetarisch" and the "Wirthaus-Menü" – but you can also order dishes from these à la carte. There is also a very reasonably priced set menu at lunchtime. On warm days, the gorgeous terrace on the Seebach with its views of the castle is a particular highlight.

Here, the Swabian Jura theme is writ large. The menu changes with the seasons and puts the emphasis on top-quality ingredients, most of which are sourced from the surrounding area. A huge panorama of the Swabian Jura landscape is the most striking feature of the modern yet cosy dining area – it couldn't be more apt. Tip: Given the restaurant's proximity to OUTLETCITY, keen shoppers might consider an overnight stay in one of the hotel's stylish guestrooms.

This long-standing family business is run with real dedication. No compromises are made when it comes to the quality of the produce, and the dishes taste great!

Nestled in the heart of Steinenbronn, this family-run establishment has been welcoming diners for many years. Here, modernity meets tradition in both the decor and the cuisine. The menu features timeless classics such as pork fillet in a creamy sauce, alongside more ambitious dishes, some made with game that they hunt themselves. For a pleasant, laid-back alternative, head to Krönle – the options written up on the board are very reasonably priced. Some house-made food items such as greaves lard spread, tripe, spaetzle, sauces and maultaschen can be purchased to take home. Decent guestrooms.

Everything here is "100% Swabian". All the ingredients come from Württemberg, and the menu is entirely dedicated to regional fare. If you are ordering à la carte, you pick your main dish by its key ingredient (eg beef, game or freshwater fish) and it comes served on a special ash wood tiered platter that was custom-made for the restaurant. The glass partition means there are interesting glimpses into the kitchen, plus the service is very cordial. The vaulted cellar houses a further restaurant, Wild, where a seasonal set menu featuring game is served on Friday evenings. At dinnertime Tue-Thu, t
