The Kavaliersbau (squire's lodge) of Hohenheim Castle, in a quiet location outside the city, is a haven for the discerning foodie. This is thanks in no small part to Stefan Gschwendtner, who has been working at Speisemeisterei since 2008 and has been head chef since 2016. Over the years, he has developed and refined his own culinary style, which is very much ingredient-led and characterised by intelligently designed and masterfully crafted dishes that pack a punch. Asian influences are also thrown into the mix. Think Hamachi Ikejime from Denmark, Golden Queen caviar, avocado, coriander. A set menu comprising six or seven courses is proposed. First-rate service comes courtesy of a friendly and charming front-of-house team armed with astute wine recommendations. This chic restaurant is complemented in the summer by the addition of a wonderful terrace.
