Dining
bi:braud
Somewhat tucked away in the old town, not far from Ulm Minster, this pleasantly down-to-earth little restaurant is full of charm. The atmosphere in the dining area is inviting and lively, and the waitstaff are friendly. You might even catch a glimpse into the kitchen behind the bar. Together, Alina Meissner-Bebrout and Tim Ostertag run the kitchen, preparing an interesting modern five-course set menu – a vegetarian version is also available. The dishes are meticulously crafted without being extravagant or cluttered. Everything is simply really well done. The desserts certainly deserve a mentio
WebsiteStephans Stuben by Marco Langer
This restaurant is run by Marco Langer, a well-known chef in the region. His dishes are meticulously prepared, creatively modern, and made with the finest ingredients. Plus he is not afraid to embrace bold flavour associations. A prime example is his succulent and tender chicken oysters, beautifully seasoned and appealing combined with pan-fried oyster mushrooms with a little bit of bite, as well as crunchy marinated celery – a dish to nourish the soul! Comprising four or six courses, there are two set menus, one of which is vegetarian. The restaurant's clean, tasteful design is very inviting.

As a sophisticated alternative to Seestern, Treibgut adds to the gourmet credentials of the Lago hotel. Modern cuisine is served in a trendy and exceedingly stylish setting. There are also dishes designed for sharing, such as steaks, whole fish or traditional grazing board. A fine selection of products from the in-house bakery, butchery and ice creamery is available. In summer, the lakeside setting is best enjoyed on the terrace.
