Schlachthof Stuttgart — Restaurant in Stuttgart

If you're in Stuttgart, you need to venture over to the Schlachthof Restaurant, whether a couple, a family, or just friends wanting good food, good service, and a time to smile together. During our Hop On, Hop Off orientation, our bus driver turned and told us that this place is a favorite of his for his whole family. Taking his advice, we journeyed back on Saturday, July 23rd to have a leisurely lunch. We were given our choice of tables by the waitress who warmly greeted us. While waiting for my starter, I noticed the attention to detail the people had taken to paint "flying angelic pigs" on the ceiling, place a mosaic pig portrait on the floor tiles, and to put unexpected pig scenes in the windows, corners, and more. Gents, look at your view in the bathroom and smile at the piggy bottoms. My wife chose to start with the gulasch suppe, and she was so glad she did! We have sipped gulasch, made gulash, and been warmed by the fragrance, but never have we had such a light, fresh, and deliciously subtlly spiced soup. Melt in your mouth meat morsels, crisp red and green peppers, and fresh parsley swam in the wonderful broth delicately flavored with hints of paprika and chives. I chose the fresh bratwust with a side of paprika kartoffeln, which I shared a bite of with my wife. I say a bite of, for I "licked the platter clean!" Rich, well-spiced brats, perfectly cooked, lean (yes, really), and so tasty. However, the ultimate German, Bavarian meal was my wife's schntizel. She asked for a small portion due to having a starter. Having dined in all sorts of restaurants throughout Germany and the U.S., we have sampled schnitzel, made homemae schnitzel, and never have we tasted such tender, crispy on the outside, and perfectly spiced panierte schnitzel! My wife asked for bratkartoffelm (rather like home fried potatoes) rather than the spaetzle, and when they arrived, perfectly pleasing to the eyes as well as the palate, I immediately said, "You're not going to eat all those are you? I can help you." Sigh. The barkeep came over toour tableby the patio doors to check on us as the restaurant had more guests arrive, and he shared how they actually still go down and purchase a side of pork, butcher/cut it right there, hand cutting just what they need for each dish. He explained how they get fresh eggs from one farm, have one source of slowly grown (hormone free) pork for their brats which are made with a family recipe, and then he offered us a shot, but instead we, stuffed and content as we were, chose a piece of the chef's bakery fresh cheesecake. I wish they would offer a culinary class here at the restaurant, for we "pigged out" on the torte-like cheesecake with a subtle apricot layer at its base. Our meal cost less than 35 Euro for the two of us, including drinks, starters, main courses, and a shared dessert. Kudos to the chef, Bravo to the waitstaff and barkeep, and Applause for the idea of turning the old slaughterhouse into a Pig Museum, a restaurant, and a Biergarten!! After our completely wonderful meal and feeling a sense you get after a perfect lucnh, we journeyed to the two floors upstairs to the actual Pig Museum. Especially my wife, Growing up on a small farm, appreciated the history, the unusual displays, and the sense of humor the curator of this unique, fun, and education museum had when creating this wonderful place where people of all ages, families, and friends can leisurely wander and enjoy historical, satirical, whimsical, and interesting displays dedicated to the pig. Highly recommend you take a walk on the 'scweine' side when in Stuttgart, for it's well worth the time to fill your eyes with the sights, your tummy with the food, and your mind with the history of this...

This restaurant is not your ordinary restaurant, it has two floor worth of pig museum above the restaurant! I highly recommend to first take the tour (6.9 Euro) before having lunch/dinner if you haven’t done it. I have ordered the pork medallion, although pricey but it was worth it and fantastic! The pork medallion was cooked medium instead of well done which made the meat very juicy and easy to chew. The pork medallion was paired with mushroom sauce which blends well with the pork and very tasty. Next they have a self made crumb which was toasted with salt and pepper then sprinkled on top of the spatzle (egg noodles). The crumbs works very well with the spatzle. Lastly, the staff is very nice. 5/5 highly recommend the...

German Restaurant serving typical and traditional German dishes. Service-staff is pretty friendly and professional. Dishes are tasty and awesome in the way they are presented as well in the variety of flavors. Although „Schlachthaus“ means „slaughterhouse“ also dishes for vegetarians are offered. Inside decorating is in heritage style. There is an so called „Schweine-Museum“ - „pork museum“ attached to the restaurant with hundreds and hundreds of specimens all related to pork/piglets. Also interesting for kids which like farm animals. Reasonable priced - free parking space. Highly recommend for people which wanna get a glimpse of German...
