Even after all these years, 5 is still bang on trend. This is primarily down to Alexander Dinter's modern cuisine. Since 2018, he has been the creative force at the helm, successfully incorporating his own original ideas into his seasonally inspired set menu.

A laid-back urban vibe combined with an elegant lounge decor makes for a special atmosphere, which persists as you move from the stylish bar on the ground floor to the "casual fine dining" restaurant on the first floor.

Here in one of Stuttgart's most exclusive residential areas, set amid the lush vines, veteran chef Vincent Klink's Wielandshöhe stands proud. This restaurant is the epitome of elegance with its large windows that afford unobstructed views over the city.

They steer well clear of gimmickry and frills, instead employing their immense culinary skill to tease out the full flavours of premium ingredients. Unsurprisingly, this place has held a Michelin star almost con

In this long-standing family business, the dedication of the Scherle brothers is plain to see. Their modern brand of cooking is strongly influenced by Japanese cuisine. The duo heading up the kitchens, Jörg Scherle and Holger Haag, create cleverly constructed and extremely precise dishes with skilfully integrated contrasts. These come into their own, for example, in the "yellowfin tuna, sakura, black cherry, celery, finger limes, ponzu, koji beurre blanc" with its delicate interplay of tuna, fruit acidity and sweetness. There are two set menus to choose from, one of which is vegetarian, each c

He cooks up excellent regional and international dishes, and also does the serving himself – not only is he highly accomplished at what he does, he is also an extremely cordial host and single-handedly creates a fantastic atmosphere! The carefully curated wine list is also remarkable, featuring wines from Baden-Württemberg, Baden and the Palatinate only.
