Living in Stuttgart, Germany has been a culinary dream, here is my list of Stuttgart EATS! There is no shortage of great eats in this region. To be successful in the restaurant business in Europe I have learned you must have great, consistent service, fresh food, and seasonal specialties. Stuttgart EATS a LOT! A plethora of restaurants in every town no matter if it is a suburb or right downtown, you will typically find a great restaurant in close proximity of anywhere you are in Baden-Württemberg.
So I promised before I left, I would share some of my favorites after five years. From Thai to Italian to Swabian and everything in between. Some are just outside of Stuttgart and some right here, a train ride away.
Here’s a caveat – People are very passionate about food and restaurants, these are my favorites. Nevertheless, I respect and honor yours too – if you have some please share in the comments below – I’m a sharer.
