Eating
Beim Olivenbauer €€
(Ottostrasse 7; mains €6-16; 11.30am-11.30pm)
Northern Italy meets Tyrol meets the
Allgäu at this fun eatery, its interior a jumble of Doric columns, mismatched tables and
chairs, multi-hued paint and assorted rural knick-knackery. Treat yourself to a wheel of
pizza and a glass of Austrian wine, or go local with a plate of
Maultaschen
and a mug of
Paulaner. There's a kids corner in the main dining room and a sunny beer garden out front.
Takeaway pizza service available.
ALPINE
Zum Hechten €€
(Ritterstrasse 6; mains €7-16; 10am-10pm)
Füssen's best hotel-restaurant keeps things
regional with a menu of Allgäu staples like schnitzel and noodles, Bavarian pork-themed
favourites, and local specialities such as venison goulash from the Ammertal. Post-meal,
relax in the wood-panelled dining room caressing a König Ludwig Dunkel, one of Ger-
many's best dark beers brewed by the current head of the Wittelsbach family.
BAVARIAN
Franziskaner Stüberl €€
( 371 24; Kemptener Strasse 1; mains €5.50-15; lunch & dinner)
This quaint res-
taurant specialises in
Schweinshaxe
(pork knuckle) and schnitzel, prepared in more variet-
ies than you can shake a haunch at. Non-carnivores go for the scrumptious
Käsespätzle
(rolled cheese noodles) and the huge salads.
