Waldhorn

This restaurant in Stuttgart's Rohr neighbourhood serves an intriguing take on classic French cuisine that draws on Spanish and Swabian influences. This concept wasn't simply plucked out of thin air: the two chefs – José María González Sampedro, who hails from Mallorca, and Caroline Autenrieth from Swabia – met while working in a restaurant in Marseille. The six courses on their surprise menu include deliciously aromatic lamb and braised shallot with a filling of blood sausage ragout with Mediterranean spices. In the attractive seating area, old wood panelling and modern furnishings add to the charm.
