;
Schafgasse 10; s €49-69, d €98-138)
The Greek
mythology link is tenuous, but this guesthouse pleases with lovingly renovated, high-
ceilinged rooms, jazzed up with bursts of red or aquamarine and flat-screen TVs.
Eating & Drinking
For a drink with a cool view, head to Seepromenade . The crowds on the main thorough-
fare, Maximilianstrasse, can be dodged in nearby backstreets, where your euro will stretch
further.
Valentin €€€
( 504 3740; In der Grub 28; mains €8-23.50; Tue-Sat)
Markus Allgaier carefully
sources the local ingredients that go into his Med-style dishes at this sleek vaulted restaur-
ant. Signatures like leg of lamb with parmesan beans and pistachio-plum risotto and
grilled scallops on balsamic-beluga lentils are beautifully cooked and presented.
MEDITERRANEAN
37° €€
(Bahnhofplatz 1; snacks €4-11; 10am-8pm Tue-Wed & Sun, to 11pm Thu-Sat)
Part
boutique, part boho-chic cafe, 37° combines a high-ceilinged interior with a lake-facing
pavement terrace. Pull up a chair for cold drinks and light bites like tapas, quiche and
soups.
CAFE
GERMAN
Weinstube Frey €€€
( 947 9676; Maximilianstrasse 15; mains €13-22; closed Mon)
This 500-year-old
wine tavern oozes Bavarian charm in its wood-panelled tavern full of cosy nooks. Dirndl-
clad waitresses serve up regional wines and fare such as beer-battered Lake Constance
trout. Sit on the terrace when the sun's out.
Marmor Saal
(Bahnhofplatz 1e; 9am-2am or 3am)
The lakefront 'marble hall' once welcomed roy-
alty and still has a feel of grandeur with its soaring columns, chandeliers and Biedermeier
flourishes. Nowadays it's a relaxed cafe-bar with occasional live music and a chilled ter-
race.
