€€Farm to table, Regional Cuisine
Nestled in the heart of Steinenbronn, this family-run establishment has been welcoming diners for many years. Here, modernity meets tradition in both the decor and the cuisine. The menu features timeless classics such as pork fillet in a creamy sauce, alongside more ambitious dishes, some made with game that they hunt themselves. For a pleasant, laid-back alternative, head to Krönle – the options written up on the board are very reasonably priced. Some house-made food items such as greaves lard spread, tripe, spaetzle, sauces and maultaschen can be purchased to take home. Decent guestrooms.
