  • 1. Restaurant-Zur Höll

    “To Hell” is in a building dating back to AD 900—claimed to be the oldest in town.

You sit over the river, with a weeping willow on one side, half-timber houses around you, and the towering cathedral in the background.

  • 9. Sixenbrau Stuble

    $$

    This building is one of the oldest in Nördlingen, which is saying something for a city known for its medieval buildings. It opened in 1545 as a brewery and has been a restaurant since the early 1900s, serving in between as a guest house and museum. As you would expect in such a historic location, the menu is traditional, focusing on both Bavarian specialties such as Sauerbraten and Swabian dishes such as Maultaschen (meat-filled raviolis) and the schnitzels claimed by both. Main dishes include two sides, including house-made Spätzle (noodle dumplings), red cabbage or sauerkraut. There's also a children's menu.

  • 10. Steuer

    $$

    A carnevore's dream, this traditional German steakhouse, set in an old half-timbered building with a large outdoor terrace, is deservedly famous for choice cuts of grade-A Angus beef grilled to perfection. The restaurant flaunts its modern side with an excellent steak tartare topped with a raw quail's egg or flavorful beef carpaccio with lemon and capers, along with lighter fare: fresh vegetable soup of the day, delicious salads, and plenty of veggie side dishes. An excellent wine list features German wines from all regions.

  • 11. Zunfthaus der Schiffleute

    $$

    The sturdy half-timber Zunfthaus (Guildhall) has stood here for more than 500 years, first as a fishermen's pub and now as a charming tavern-restaurant. Ulm's fishermen had their guild headquarters here, and when the nearby Danube flooded, the fish swam right up to the door. Today they land on the menu, which also includes dry-aged steak as well as "Swabian oysters" (actually snails, drenched in garlic butter). The local beer makes an excellent accompaniment.

    Fischerg. 31, Ulm, Baden-Württemberg, 89073, Germany
    0731-64411

    Known For

    • Swabian cuisine like Maultaschen
    • Schnitzels
    • Käsespätzle
