Michelin-starred Greek cuisine? "Modern Greek cuisine" is what it says on the front door, and that's what you get at this charming, tastefully decorated restaurant run by a husband-and-wife team. The dishes are sophisticated and rich in flavour, interspersed with French influences and the light touch of Mediterranean cuisine. Chef Joannis Malathounis clearly draws inspiration from his Hellenic roots, yet he never relies on them too heavily. It's exciting to see this interpretation of Greek cuisine. There are two 4- to 5-course menus, one of which is vegetarian. In the cosy dining rooms, guests

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

Modern Cuisine, Classic French · ★ Michelin

In a location in the Beutelsbach district that used to house Krone, Cédric Staudenmayer cooks up ambitious cuisine with strong seasonal and regional influences. In his modern take on classical culinary foundations, he harmoniously combines bold flavours and creates well-judged contrasts – for example in his "char, beetroot, herbs, radishes" or "poulet noir fermier, Brussels sprouts, potato, apple". The set menu, which changes every six weeks, is also available in a vegetarian version if ordered in advance. The setting is pleasant: the building dates from 1800, and the classical, traditional in

This family-run business in the Hedelfingen district has been renowned for its fine cuisine for many years and is popular with older and younger diners alike. It all began in 1985 with Susanne and Hendrik Schallmeir, and now their son Gabriel and his wife Lia – the second generation – have joined the team. 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

It is not without good reason that this 300-year-old restaurant has so many regulars. Here, they honour tradition while managing to keep up with the times – and that goes for both the decor and the food, which is not only beautifully presented but also of the highest quality. The Swabian cuisine follows the seasons and draws on international influences. The emphasis is on regional ingredients, including meat and sausage products made on site in their own butcher's shop. As well as à la carte dishes, a three- or four-course set menu is available.
