Meze Akademie

Swabian Alps Region


Creative riffs on Greek meze (small dishes to share) take centre stage at this slick restaurant, with an open-plan design and bistro-style seating at bare wood tables. The menu seesaws with the seasons, so expect anything from wild boar sausage with caramelised onion and poached egg to more classic dolmadakia (stuffed vine leaves) and baked feta with tomato marmalade.
