Guth

★ Michelin€€€regional

Thomas Scheucher's restaurant champions a pleasingly pared-back take on classic cuisine that highlights top-quality ingredients and delivers full flavour with charming simplicity. The menu features dishes such as vitello tonnato made from Andelsbuch veal topside and garnished with caper blossoms, and Lake Constance whitefish fillet with aubergine relish, lime and basil broth, and olive gnocchi. The decor is both tasteful and inviting, with modern artwork and designer lamps adding a touch of elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows look out onto the garden, where a lovely terrace is set up in summer.

€€€Contemporary, Regional Cuisine

In a magnificent location just a stone's throw from Lake Constance, the Seehotel am Kaiserstrand has plenty to offer, and the restaurant is definitely a huge draw. Upscale and modern, it also boasts a gorgeous terrace overlooking the lake. Choose from a nicely devised à la carte menu of mouthwatering dishes such as "goat's cheese crème brûlée, beetroot, walnut, pumpernickel, pine honey" or "braised wild hare leg with Brussels sprouts and sweet-potato pavé". The desserts and house-made cakes and tarts are tempting, too. Built on stilts, the Badehaus is a novel location for snacks and drinks rig
