No-nonsense Swabian cooking, such as flavoursome
Linsen und Saiten
(lentils with sausage), and wines are the mainstay of this Bohnenviertel tavern. The at-
tached wine shop sells 650 different vintages.
Cube €€€
( 280 4441; Kleiner Schlossplatz 1; mains lunch €9-17, dinner €28-31; daily)
The
food is good but it plays second fiddle to the dazzling view at this glass-fronted cube on
Kleiner Schlossplatz. Bag a window table to see Stuttgart twinkle over winningly fresh
dishes like yellow-fin tuna with wasabi- pepper crumble and black bean risotto. Come at
lunchtime for a more relaxed vibe.

True, it's in the heart of the red-light district, but don't be put off.

Swabian fare (cheese-rich

wines.

winning riesling selection.

Amadeus €€
( 292 678; Charlottenplatz 17; mains €9.50-22.50; daily)
Once an 18th-century
orphanage dishing up gruel, this chic, bustling restaurant now serves glorious Swabian
food such as
Maultaschen
and riesling-laced
Kutteln
(tripe). The terrace is a big draw in
summer.
