Speisemeisterei

★★ Michelin€€€€german

The Kavaliersbau (squire's lodge) of Hohenheim Castle, in a quiet location outside the city, is a haven for the discerning foodie. This is thanks in no small part to Stefan Gschwendtner, who moves with the times in his bold, precisely crafted, very intelligently structured dishes, without ever succumbing to fleeting culinary trends. His distinctive style shines through in creations such as "matjes-style lake trout, cucumber, wild garlic, crème fraîche" and "veal sweetbreads from Provence, Filderkraut cabbage, mushrooms, apple". The set menu comprises seven courses. On Mondays, Thursdays and Su

Located in Hohenheim Castle, Speisemeisterei offers a refined atmosphere with elegant decor and a scenic terrace. Chef Stephan Gschwendtner delivers high-quality cuisine characterized by precise craftsmanship and balanced flavors, including well-received vegetarian options.

In the small open kitchen, father and son work like a well-oiled machine, upholding Swabian culinary traditions while embracing inspiration from modern international cuisine. Their menu ranges from classics such as Zwiebelrostbraten (braised beef with onions and gravy) and Kässpätzle, to Kal

Knausbira Stüble in Ostfildern specializes in authentic Swabian cuisine with high overall ratings. Food quality is frequently praised, with dishes like goose, roast beef, Maultaschen, and Spätzle noted for their tenderness and flavor, though occasional critiques mention sticky dumplings or overly sweet sides.
