Einhorn
This handsome inn steeped in history has been given a successful modern makeover. Inside, the pleasant decor is characterised by clear lines, warm wooden finishings and a palette of neutrals; outside, behind the building, the pretty, secluded terrace is extremely inviting. The menu features typical Swabian dishes, but also more sophisticated international dishes. You can opt for a set menu or select dishes from the à la carte menu.
