Weinstube Zur Kiste — Restaurant in Stuttgart

When in Stuttgart you must have an authentic Swabian meal at Weinstube zur kiste. My favorite is the maultaschen . It's a filled dumpling . They have several different fillings and are often served with a sauce.There are Several traditional roasted ox dishes on the menu . For the vegetarian crowd they have a all time Swabian favorite cheese spaetzle . A homemade noodle covered in a white cheese . There wein selection includes the hard to find Germany red weins . These weins are local and are not exported . Very cozy atmosphere with Great service . It's on my must do list when visiting the Baden...

Ate here on a weekday evening while on a business trip.

Menu is a bit limited with a lot of traditional Swabian food, think meat and 2 veg with some gravy.

Positives; the onion gravy for the white sausage and potato dish was really tasty. The wines by the glass were in generous portions and also delicious with a great variety from a number of German regions. Service was really good from the ladies on front of house

Negatives; The menu selections were a bit narrow and restricted to Protein and Carbo loaders!

Worth a visit to taste a few German wines in the front tasting area...

I tried a combination platter of the maultaschen (big meat ravioli piece) and fleischkuchle (meatball) with the salad and spatzle. The meatball was amazing - nice crisp outside perfectly salted with a tender interior. The maultaschen was also really well spiced. The atmosphere was great. It's small and intimate. The lady who served me spoke enough English for me to get by. My only complaint is there were only two beers - a pilsner and hefeweiezen but I suppose that's not...
