Weinstube Fröhlich

Stuttgart


True, it’s in the heart of the red-light district, but don’t be put off. This softly lit, dark-wood-panelled restaurant is an atmospheric choice for well-executed Swabian and season-inspired cuisine, along the lines of the rich Käsespätzle (egg-based noodles topped with cheese), Maultaschen (pork and spinach ravioli) with potato salad, and venison ragout with chanterelles, plus regional wines.
