Here’s the Best Restaurants in Stuttgart From Local
The Best Restaurants in Stuttgart From Local
Alaturka
We can’t eat döner anywhere else! You can find the best meat döner in Germany here. Thus, there’s always a long queue in front of it. You can have your döner both in their homemade bread or on a plate. The most important feature of this döner is that the meat is carefully selected, it doesn’t contain any sweeteners or preservatives, and it’s very delicious. You can also choose grilled vegetables (e.g., peppers, potatoes, eggplant, zucchini, carrots, green beans, onions) and sauces (e.g., yogurt sauce, hot sauce) from the buffet to be served with your döner. You might think vegetables or sauce don’t go with döner, but we can definitely say they do.
I get the “Yüksel’s Original” in bread, and I really like peppers, potatoes, and zucchini with my döner. Şahin’s favorite is the “Alaturka Original” served on a plate, and he likes it with hot sauce, green beans, and potatoes on the side. Let’s also mention that the döners here are very generous. Also, don’t forget to try their dill ayran, which they produce themselves.

Oggi – The Best Restaurants in Stuttgart
An Italian restaurant where everything from appetizers to desserts is very delicious. The restaurant has a chic design. It’s advisable to make a reservation before coming because it gets very crowded. Online booking is also possible. We should also mention that they respond very quickly. You can also just have a drink at the bar inside. Be sure to try the bruschetta, minestrone soup, and salmon.

Da Nello
This is a family-owned Italian restaurant, and the food is very delicious. The owners are also very friendly and cheerful. It’s not a place where you can find a spontaneous table because the number of tables is limited and it’s always full. It’s a good idea to call and make a reservation. The restaurant also puts out a few tables outside in the summer, making it easier to find a place for lunch or dinner during those times.
We think the most delicious dishes are the bruschetta and tomato soup for starters, and salmon pasta or pizzas for main course. Don’t forget to remind them to slice the pizza, otherwise, it comes in one piece. Also, the bread and olive oil they serve as a treat are very delicious.

L’Osteria
This is an Italian restaurant chain you can find throughout Germany. We love their bruschetta, pizza, and chicken salad. Let’s also mention that their pizzas are huge. They don’t even fit on the plate they bring. If you can’t finish it, it’s very common in Germany to ask for your leftovers to be packaged. Don’t hesitate to ask, and sometimes they ask you too, so don’t be surprised. Unfortunately, the taste may not be the same at every branch. We were satisfied with this branch.
Address: Mailänder Platz 7, 70173 Stuttgart

Osteria
Osteria is a small Italian restaurant. It has no connection with L’Osteria. Its menu is shaped according to seasonal fresh products. Therefore, it doesn’t have a fixed menu. The owner talks a bit too much, but he’s cute. They use their own-produced olive oil in their dishes, and you can also buy this olive oil in bottles. We really liked its taste, it doesn’t smell and it’s light. If you see truffle mushroom pasta and octopus pizza on the menu, you should try at least one of them.

Il Pomodoro
Another Italian restaurant in Stuttgart is Il Pomodoro. Located on a street where cafes and restaurants are lined up side by side, this place offers flavors from Italian cuisine. We find their lasagna and pasta delicious. Also, sitting outside in the summer is very enjoyable.

Trölsch
By far our favorite pastry shop. You can find their branches throughout the Baden-Württemberg state. They have a variety of bread, pretzels, cheesecakes, pastries, and sandwiches. We recommend trying the classic German flavors of pretzel and “Käsekuchen” (cheesecake). Also, the cheesecakes with mandarin, blueberry, and hazelnut cake are very delicious. In addition to that, you can also sit in their cafe and have tea or coffee. It’s better not to stay too late if you’re going, the products run out quickly even though they produce a lot of products.

Carls Brauhaus
Carls Brauhaus in the heart of Stuttgart is a German restaurant and beer house. The interior has an authentic design. We especially like sitting in the back section with benches. Their beers and cocktails are very successful. Also, you must try the Swabian specialties Käsespätzle (resembling melted cheese pasta and served with fried onions) and Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cherry tart). Let’s also add that the portions are large and very filling. Unless you come with a very large group, it’s possible to find a spontaneous place here.

Wichtel Hausbrauerei
Wichtel is a German brewery that produces its own beer. They offer different types of beer depending on the season, so if Maibock is available when you go, be sure to try it. Wichtelkuchen, one of the classic German flavors also known as Fladenbrot, is one of the flavors that must be tried. Actually, it looks very similar to pizza, only the dough is much thinner. Another flavor is Schnitzel. Portions are again quite large.
The place has a very authentic atmosphere with its brick walls and the huge beer production barrel inside. If you want to sit outside, we recommend bringing something warm with you. Because sometimes even in summer, it can be very cool. Since it’s located a bit further away from the city center, there are fewer people, and you can easily find a place.

Enchilada
Hands down our favorite Mexican restaurant! The design inside opens the doors to a colorful world all at once. It’s a perfect place to meet up with a large group, but it’s advisable to make a reservation. If you come here, be sure to try the Quesadillas (a flavor-packed chicken crepe with sauce), Fajitas (wraps with either steak or chicken and vegetables in different sauces), Totillachips (homemade tortilla chips with various dips), and churros (fried dough with chocolate sauce). Additionally, you can find vegetarian or vegan options here. Besides, they offer discounts on cocktails during “happy hours” until a certain hour. Of course, they also have beer.

Sausalitos
This is another Mexican restaurant we enjoy going to. The interior is colorful, and it’s a nice place to meet up with friends. Here, we also recommend trying the Fajitas and Tortilla chips. Additionally, if you enjoy trying recipes at home, you can find both Mexican food and cocktail recipes on their website.

Japanisches Restaurant KICHO
A newly discovered Japanese restaurant. We liked the staff and the atmosphere. We tried ebi-tempura (tempura shrimp and various vegetables), avocado maki, and various sushi served on a big boat, and we liked them a lot. There are plenty of different sushi options here that will appeal to everyone, and they are delicious. Like many restaurants on our list, it’s advisable to make a reservation here too.

Retsinadiko
This is a Greek restaurant we like in Stuttgart. Some of the delicious dishes we can recommend are anchovies, chicken skewers, dolma, tzatziki, fried eggplant, and zucchini. Unfortunately, the anchovies have bones. Also, let’s not forget that it has a pleasant garden where you can spend enjoyable time.

Cube
You can come here for Mediterranean and Asian cuisine. We came here for our anniversary, and it was very enjoyable. This place is on the top floor of the building where the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum is located on Königstraße, Stuttgart’s most famous street. Since the building is entirely glass, you can see Königstraße from above, and the view is very beautiful. This is a restaurant with a dress code, so you need to dress smartly. It also has a nice bar where you can spend time.

Gustav Café & Bar – The Best Restaurants in Stuttgart
A wonderful place for a nice breakfast or coffee meet-up. We especially liked sitting in the separate glass-enclosed area at the back. We loved the scrambled eggs with white cheese and tomatoes, croissants, and avocado toast with scrambled eggs. Additionally, the butter and honey served as sides were delicious. The portions are quite large, so it’s advisable to order accordingly. Finding a place when you go spontaneously can be a bit of a matter of luck.
So, our favorite café in the Best Restaurants in Stuttgart From Local is definitely Gustav!

This is a beach-themed restaurant. From the paintings on the walls to the general colors used, it reminds you of summer. Many items are tasty, and our favorite is the turkey schnitzel. Additionally, their cocktails are quite successful.

There are always long lines in front of this ice cream parlor in Marienplatz, one of Stuttgart’s bustling squares. You can find a wide variety of ice cream here.

Another breakfast spot we visited in Stuttgart is Lumen. The interior is unassuming but has an authentic design. We really enjoyed their scrambled egg dishes, and the butter and bread basket served as sides were also nice. However, the portions here are a bit small.

Deli
If the weather is nice, one of our favorite activities is sitting in front of Deli, sipping white wine and nibbling on something. It’s very enjoyable to sit here and watch people passing by while having conversations. Besides, the food is equally delicious; their pasta, salads, everything was wonderful. Cocktails are also served in a high-quality manner, not overly icy like in some other places.

Restaurant Achillion
Restaurant Achillion is a Greek restaurant very close to the S-Bahn station Schwabstraße.

It’s definitely one of the places we’ll visit again, and it absolutely deserves a spot on this list.
