Hungry already? Let’s explore.
What are the Top Lakeside Dining Spots in Meersburg?
Let’s start where the lake kisses your table.
Winzerstube zum Becher is one of the oldest inns in town and still serves dishes fit for royalty. Their Bodensee whitefish and local Spätzle pair perfectly with a chilled Grauburgunder. Plus, the view from the terrace? Chef’s kiss.
Looking for a modern vibe? Head to Café Grossé right on the promenade. It’s casual, the coffee is strong, and the people-watching is elite. I once spent three hours there reading and chatting with a local who told me where to find the best cherry schnapps.
And for a quiet corner? Try Strandcafé, just a bit off the center. Fewer crowds, dreamy sunsets, and homemade Flammkuchen.
Which restaurants in Meersburg are loved by locals?
Let me take you off the tourist path.
Locals love Hotel Löwen’s Restaurant, a classic Swabian spot with comforting food and fair prices. Their käsespätzle tastes like it’s made by someone’s Oma.
For wine lovers, Weinstube Schützen is a must. It’s small, rustic, and their wine list is legendary. Grab a plate of cheese and olives, ask about the local Pinot Noir, and settle in.
One of my personal favorites is Alte Post, a historic inn turned tavern with a cozy vibe and seasonal menus. I once had pumpkin soup there in October that I still dream about.
Are There Unique Cafés or Bakeries Worth Visiting?
Oh, absolutely.
Start your morning at Café Keck. It’s a cozy little place where the scent of baked goods pulls you in from the street. Their plum crumble is life-changing.
Another gem is Café am Schloss, hidden right next to the old castle. Imagine sipping coffee in a courtyard surrounded by roses and stone walls. Romantic? Very.
If you’re a fan of Italian-style espresso and creamy gelato, check out Eiscafé Dolomiti. You’ll find both locals and visitors gathered here, and for good reason.
What food is Meersburg known for?
Meersburg is proud of its Bodensee fish, especially Felchen (whitefish) and Zander. Lightly grilled with herbs, it’s the taste of the lake on a plate.
Feeling fancy? Try Bodensee Wine Soup—a regional delicacy made with local white wine and cream. Sounds odd, tastes divine.
And of course, Apfelküchle (apple fritters) served with vanilla sauce. Trust me, your sweet tooth will thank you.
I’ll never forget the day I tried this dish at a family-run restaurant in the backstreets. The cook came out to explain the recipe—and then handed me a printed version. That’s Meersburg hospitality for you.
