3 Best Restaurants in The Romantic Road, Germany

There is no spot more idyllic in Hohenschwangau to enjoy excellent food and stunning views over the Alpsee and mountains beyond. The café next to the Museum of Bavarian Kings is a good choice to escape the tourist masses for lunch or afternoon coffee and cake on the terrace.

Kleibls has bright and modern decor in the heart of the historic Old Town, with an updated menu of traditional Bavarian and Swabian favorites. Everything is house-made, from the pastas to the ketchup. Operated by Thorsten and Andrea Kleibl, there's also a small shop where you can buy their sauces and spice mixes. 

In the cellar beneath the 1385 Rathaus is a popular local destination for Bavarian food and drink with a surprisingly airy feel. Lunches can be busy, as local workers head there for the wide array of traditional fare. But the restaurant is also open late, until 10 pm daily, after many other local restaurants have closed.
