Schwanen

€€Farm to table, Country cooking

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.
