Street Food Guide Germany 2025: The Best Street Food Stands in Stuttgart
Travelling the world with pounded meat. Diners have to choose whether they want to travel to Switzerland with a cheese-baked schnitzel or take a trip to Hungary with paprika sauce. The Stuttgart schnitzel in pretzel breadcrumbs is a classic. Currywurst is an alternative!
The daughter of the founders continues the tradition started in 1992. Guests have to choose between meatballs and dumplings and then decide whether the homemade dumplings should be served in broth, smoked or roasted. Don't forget the potato salad.
Currywurst on the go or schnitzel and chips at the table? It doesn't really matter, because the pub on Leonhardsplatz gives all guests a taste of a bygone era. The whole of Stuttgart has been meeting here for a beer for almost half a century.
Fast food was yesterday, today it's slow food and the newcomer Pia Nowotny. She named this somewhat different kind of snack bar after her grandmother Martha. The menu ranges from Albbüffelburgers to vegan currywurst. Of course, Swabian wine goes well with it.
Attention, the entrance is on Theodor-Heuss-Straße! Inside, everything revolves around Swabian classics such as Käsespätzle and Maultaschen. Some swear by the currywurst (preferably spicy), others swear by Kaiserschmarren. Not just for Rhineland exiles: Kölsch on tap.
No experiments at all! That's how you could summarise what the Swabian snack bar on the market square has to offer. It's all about the classics of regional cuisine. If you can't make up your mind, order the Swabian platter with Maultaschen, meatballs, spaetzle and potato salad.
Maultaschen tradition for almost 30 years - a success story. You can buy over 15 hand-rolled varieties from pasta chef Roland Droese to take home - or to eat on the spot. The Swabian trinity of lentils, strings and spaetzle is also known throughout the city.
The spirit of the times seems to be only tentatively making itself felt in this snack bar attached to a butcher's shop. Maultaschen in the Swabian tradition are complemented by daily specials such as beef goulash or fish fillet. Meatballs and meat loaf are classics.
Anyone asking for Uncle Otto in the flesh will probably be disappointed, but the size of the portions immediately makes up for this disappointment. The XXL monster schnitzel is served with spaetzle, of course, while the western steak offers a change from Swabian cuisine.
