Platzhirsch

Stuttgart


Combining a breath of country air with a pinch of urban cool, wood-panelled Platzhirsch always has a good buzz and, in summer, a packed terrace. Dig into mains such as parmesan Knödel (dumplings) in thyme-honey sauce, and saffron risotto with prawns. Lunch specials go for a wallet-friendly €6.90 to €7.80.
