Dine inside the cozy brick-lined former horse stables or outside on the lovely patio at this restaurant inside the historic stone houses of the Steinhauser Hof. There's no à la carte ordering here, only ambitious tasting menus: choose from one of two five-course menus (extra for wine pairings), or splurge even more on the six-course menu.
