The 10 most luxurious restaurants in Stuttgart

Luxury for the palate; Stuttgart's gastronomy is booming and boasts a large number of excellent fine-dining restaurants at world-class level. Culinary delights are guaranteed at these addresses.

The "Speisemeisterei" is located in the western wing of Hohenheim Palace in Stuttgart. The historic complex, surrounded by extensive gardens, provides the ideal backdrop for classic cuisine with cosmopolitan, often Asian accents. The eight-course menu (245 euros incl. aperitif, petits fours etc.) opens - after precisely crafted trifles - with a poached Irish mór oyster with ponzu, caviar and lettuce. The delicate, creamy oyster meets crisp lettuce and juicy oyster leaf, while the ponzu adds a subtle sweetness. This is followed by a refreshingly sour and green "matjes" of lake trout and a fabulously cloudy and soft focaccia with whipped herb butter. Then it gets Mediterranean: Stefan Gschwendtner serves the crispy fried red mullet with a deep broth full of crustacean notes, fresh fennel salad and a somewhat scant blob of romesco. The veal shank agnolotti with parmesan, spinach and hazelnuts could have been a little more filling, but the Wagyu roast beef A5 that follows is a flawless piece of prime beef: crispy on the outside, meltingly rich on the inside. Crunchy chanterelles and chives seasoning round off the course. The pre-dessert is a house classic that could almost be accepted as the final dessert: creamy tigernut ice cream with cinnamon, a dollop of cream, coffee brew and almond crunch make for an "iced coffee" in a class of its own. The actual dessert - a somewhat ordinary-looking raspberry mousse - falls slightly short, but the accompanying sour cream ice cream is all the more impressive. A menu that is more than worth the short trip from nearby Stuttgart.

Vincent Klink likes to go from table to table in a restaurant that is unique for its traditional dishes. Here you can eat carpaccio cipriani and pork trotters with truffles, just like in the old days.

5

5 like "five courses", like "having all five senses together" or perhaps like the "five continents". In any case, Alexander Dinter's cuisine stands for radical taste, his restaurant for ultra-heartfelt hospitality.

Zur Weinsteige

Andreas and Jörg Scherle have left their mark on the Weinsteige, but now Holger Haag as head chef and Sebastian Falge as restaurant manager are at the forefront. The gourmet menu is also available as a vegetarian option.

Hegel Eins

The chefs like to come to the table themselves and explain their gourmet creations. Things are even more relaxed than in the evening at lunchtime, when the "Hegel Lunch" offers the best pinsa in Stuttgart.

The two Andreasses (Lutz in service, Hettinger in the open kitchen) offer a nostalgic gourmet experience in the vaulted cellar. The intimate setting is matched by a wine list that astounds with its depth.

Der Zauberlehrling

Quoting Goethe's sorcerer's apprentice is easy when it comes to the wagyu main course, but Fabian Heldmann's char also makes you believe in magic. The regular magic candlelight dinner is completely enchanting!

Rosenstraße 38, 70182 Stuttgart, Germany

You can never be sure in advance what will be on the Hupperts menu: The chef decides which fish and vegetables to put on the plate depending on the market situation. Because the restaurant is small and intimate, you should make a reservation.

Gebelsbergstraße 97, 70199 Stuttgart, Germany

The window seats in the museum restaurant are as coveted as an audience with the Pope. But there is also plenty to enjoy at every other table, with bouillabaisse, exotic desserts and great flair.
