Bärenschlößle Restaurant in Stuttgart

Very busy on weekends, but otherwise worth recommending.

The quality of the food was poor. The fish, Maultaschen, and Spätzle all lacked flavor.

We ate really well there. Prices are normal, the place is really beautiful.

Simply wonderful. Surrounded by forest and nature. Good destination in Stuttgart.

Wonderful ambience, self-service, friendly, clean. Delicious cakes, good selection. If you're lucky, you'll get a place on the ballustrade. Lakes currently without water.

So about the food: More like canteen quality, ready-made salads from the pack, well. The bee dash was great though! Friendly service, but pick up and order at the counter to save waiters, but unfortunately that doesn't reflect the prices for the food. Large ready-made salad 10 euros. The atmosphere is super idyllic, in the middle of the forest with a few benches and parasols, really nice. Unfortunately, a few highlights such as a children's playground or something special are only missing in 4 out of 5.

The Bärenschlössle is always worth a visit!

During the week the Bärenschlössle is full, but not overcrowded. No longer queues to be expected. The cake selection in particular is good, even if the prices are a little higher than normal.

Our favorite excursion in the Stuttgart area. Located in the forest and only accessible by walking. Last Sunday I had a roulade with kohlrabi and spaetzle, sensational and at a fair price, €15.80. Coffee afterwards was also ok, there would have been delicious cakes too. You can sit outside or inside on two floors. Always my pleasure !

A little rustic and simple with self-service in the bar on the first floor. Nice to have a picnic while visiting the surrounding park.

In itself it's a really "beautiful place on earth" with a lot of nature and you can also spend a good time there with children...They can run around and climb and there were a lot of people there too.... The "lake landscape" was unfortunately half dried up, which is of course a sad sight! There was a "sausage stand" outside and the food there was great but really expensive - I didn't go to the restaurant myself but I liked the menu 😉 Of course it was self-service outside... I would still recommend it because I had a nice day there - which in the end is what makes the company...

Good place to try local food. The staff is nice, the queue moves quickly, and the toilets are clean.

For me the best excursion restaurant in Stuttgart and the surrounding area. No matter how busy it is and it is often very busy, I get my food in just a few minutes. Very well organized kitchen and checkout. The food is great and there is always something new on the menu, even depending on the season. Man came super nice to sit outside and inside. Absolute recommendation and big praise to the operators.

Perfect for a trip. Since it is a self-service restaurant, it is difficult to give 5 stars for the service.

We ate here on the way back from Stuttgart. Very tasty and well attended even during the week. We only found the cake quite expensive.

Very nice location with a large outdoor area on the Bärensee. Only limited seating inside but comfortable. So far we've only had coffee and cake there. The warm dishes at least looked pretty good. I can't say anything about the taste of the hot dishes. The cakes are absolutely recommended. Service is normal self-service, but overall it is very quick and the waitresses are always friendly. Unfortunately we had a lot of wasps outside in the summer and we couldn't enjoy the cakes as usual. But you can't blame the owner, because you're sitting in nature. With a small piece of cake at the other end of the table, the wasps are happy and leave you alone. Overall, a nice destination after a long walk around the lake.

A great option for a drink and something to eat in both summer and winter It doesn't matter whether it's outside on the terrace when the weather is good or on the ground floor or upper floor when the weather is bad. The self-service restaurant has a great price-performance ratio and is definitely worth a visit. You can also reserve tables.

Very nice atmosphere in the middle of the forest area around the bear lakes. The excursion restaurant is located directly above the third lake. Cozy interior on 2 floors. Large outdoor area and beautiful terrace. The restaurant offers home-style cooking and homemade cakes. There is also a good selection of drinks.

A great bike trip to switch off...

Great place to go for a lunch break or coffee. Dishes (lower floor) and baked goods (upper floor) and a variety of delicious drinks are offered on 2 floors. If you're lucky, you can sit at the top in the sun. Otherwise there is plenty of seating inside and outside and a fantastic view

Very nice location for a trip. Food very good and a very good price-performance ratio 👍❤️🍀

Great gastronomy and great nature! A bit long queue on the weekend.

The most beautiful excursion destination in Stuttgart. Great nature and rustic retreat

Very nice to linger / relax / walk / cycle and enjoy the peace and quiet *****

Beautifully located, in the middle of the forest, beautiful hiking trails in the area

Very nice weather and lots of activity

Cozy self-service restaurant in beautiful surroundings, only accessible on foot or by bike, but often quite busy...

Parking available, nice place to walk in the forest... A small restaurant with coffee cakes and small dishes available.

Always beautiful. Just the location

Unfortunately it has become far too expensive.

We were there on Boxing Day and it was very well attended. We got in line for mulled wine and reds, which was really long but it moved really quickly. You could tell straight away that professionals are at work here. Everything happened orderly and quickly. Keep it up, gladly again.

Beautiful excursion restaurant in a historic small castle, beautiful location in the nature park near the 3 lakes.

It was self-service, but the coffee and cake was very tasty 😋

Delicious food in a rustic atmosphere

Ragout etc. Food was delicious, cake too

If you like completely overpriced, below-average quality snacks in self-service style in the countryside, you can try to get a seat when the weather is nice. The location is totally overcrowded, especially on weekends, and PL doesn't fit.

As always, very crowded, but nice in Stuttgart.

Take a look at the books not in k.i.

Very nice destination. We didn't eat anything there but the selection of food was extensive

One of my favorite places...soooo beautiful...🫶💕🫶

Nice place. When the weather is good there is also a nice terrace. Unfortunately the lake is currently drained

It was very crowded due to the nice weather. The service worked well. The waiting time was about 20 minutes. We had 2 cakes. One was good, the other tasted good but was very dry.

Nice place with great paths. Very nice to relax

Very quaint and cozy. Delicious food and very friendly staff. Location in the middle of the forest.

Delicious selection of cakes and very nice to sit outside. Can be very busy on weekends, but you can usually always find space somewhere.

Nice place, cakes okay but nothing special. You can notice that more expensive ingredients such as fat and quark are saved in the cake. The streusel was very dry and the curd mixture was watery. However, it is the only place in the area.

Great place, authentic vibe and very nice people - hosts and guests equally!

Had a roast pork today. Unfortunately of very poor quality. There was an inedible rind. The meat was tough and old. The spaetzle is normal with some mushrooms.

This is a great place to stop off after a hike. But there is often a lot going on on weekends. Thanks to self-service, you can still get food and drink relatively quickly. Prices are okay.

Swabian food very tasty 😋 and inexpensive :)

Good and cheap food. Well attended restaurant, there is also an outdoor area for eating

Always worth a trip or walk! The paths through the forest are beautiful, there are different routes you can take, there are various playgrounds and barbecue areas, and it is not too crowded because the crowds are well distributed through the many paths. The Bärenschlössle itself is of course very beautiful and there are now a lot of seating options and the food is also good.

The Bärenschlössle ♡ Always worth a trip! Nice beer garden in summer but also in autumn. Great to stop off while hiking. Delicious cakes, but also sweet dishes and hearty... Always something going on, but no long waiting times. Mostly relaxed crowd and dogs are allowed. ♡

Very nice place to stop after a hike or a walk with moderate prices and good food.

Food was very good and the prices were ok

Always beautiful. We particularly like the roast venison. We always enjoy coming back, even though it is often way too crowded when we are there.

Of course, the prices are becoming increasingly steep for the reasons described by Mr. Unmüßig below (the main thing is that the food isn't...). But I still enjoy the sausage salad again and again. Then it's better less often than not at all... In any case, I'm grateful to you for the delicious food and drinks in the middle of our beautiful deer park!!!

The location is very nicely located and also well frequented. It is a self-service restaurant. In our case, the food was very tasty and the portions were more than sufficient.

Always nice at this classic Stuttgart excursion meeting point.

We visited the castle, which looks more like a normal building, on the weekend. It was very crowded and not particularly accessible with a wheelchair. We even had a hard time getting to the fast food cart that was there. The forest is great for walking, including around the Bärensee, and can also be easily accessed with a wheelchair.

Rustic hiking restaurant. Self-service. Nice service.

It is a beautiful and warm place in the forest. It has nice sweets and some food! Upstairs I like it better. Also in good weather you can enjoy the outdoor area.

Beautifully located as a destination. Gladly again.

A beautiful place and we have been coming here regularly and happily for years. Unfortunately, they take every bit of freedom when it comes to prices. You now pay €5.40 for a red one with a roll (as of September 2024). We didn't even pay that much at the Stuttgart Christmas market recently.

Quaint to stop here during or after a walk. Great location! Good cuisine, unfortunately no gluten-free options.

Very good excursion restaurant with a historical background Inexpensive food and drink Ideal for cyclists and hikers, children

Nice outdoor restaurant with self-service

The person sitting next to me reports that he had to pay an extra charge for fries with his schnitzel, even though he didn't want any fries with it. I didn't eat or drink myself

Very tasty cuisine and nice staff. Great location.

Always good, the onion roast. 😋

Always interesting for walks or hiking. Very good self-service restaurant. Deer enclosure approx. 1 km away. The upper lake is currently heavily drained. It's a shame - supposedly because of lizards? And apparently the meadows are also completely mowed down, which means that there are hardly any butterflies etc. left. We received this information from a gentleman who has been visiting the Bärenschlössle regularly for over 25 years and has also taken photographs of the wildlife. Otherwise highly recommended for young and old.

A nice place to relax. Cheap and good food.

An always paradisiacal place in the middle of the forest and especially beautiful on weekdays! Delicious food at moderate prices and wonderfully friendly and patient staff

Very efficient & great location

The food was ok, but not outstanding. Price-performance ratio, well. It's a shame there are no fries on offer. Otherwise very nice surroundings, great hiking destination.

A beautiful place located in the middle of the forest. The food is okay, but the atmosphere is like a canteen without any flair. The outdoor seating is getting old, but the upper terrace is very nice to sit on.

Simply great if you have a dog ☺️

Great place to stop for a short break. Food not that great.

Fantastic setting in the middle of the forest on the bear lakes, well-preserved castle. Food is reminiscent of a canteen, quick and not that cheap, you get it yourself from the counter to the table.

A bit hidden in the forest but really nice...staff very nice👍🥳☘️

Great excursion destination in nature with a nice walk and a nice stop at the “Bierenschlössle”.

Even though we were there after the kitchen closed, we still got (very good) sausage salad with cheese. Nice outdoor area, friendly staff. Gladly again!

Great destination for a hike. Nice staff and delicious food.

Very nice place to stay. Seating options for consumption are a bit scarce.

Despite the rain, it was just great to be outside under the parasols at the Bärenschlössle

Friendly service staff at the pickup counter.

Fantastically beautiful. In the middle of the forest at Bärensee. Plus great food at fair prices and friendly staff. Absolutely recommended 😀

Nice beer garden and reasonable prices9

Nice excursion destination and refreshment stop for hikers and cyclists. You can sit inside and outside.

One of our favorite places. The kitchen and catering (self-service) are perfectly organized. There are great, fresh dishes and the waiting time is always under 10 minutes. The scenery around the bear lakes and the park forests is fantastic. A game reserve is within walking distance. If you come by bike you can go further to Solitude Castle.

THE absolute destination. Red deer park and wild boar park are next door. Large outdoor area, indoor area on the ground floor and upper floor. Delicious food, drinks. Self-service, fast. On sunny days, lots of day trippers, lots of cyclists. It's also worth it on a rainy day, as the forest is particularly beautiful and it smells so great of moss and earth.

The Bärenschlössle... I don't even know how many times we've been here 😄 When we still lived in Stuttgart-East, we went to Bärensee at least once almost every week, be it for jogging, mountain biking in the wildlife park, or going for a walk. And we definitely went to the Bärenschlössle every other time ✔️ A great location, both inside and outside with various seating areas, some with a view of the Bärensee. The dishes are all delicious, many Swabian classics. A nice selection of snacks, great cakes and tarts. If you can't find anything here, you have no idea about food 😉 Fair prices, great service (of which many self-service locations can take a few slices), what more could you want 🙌🏻 We've been living a long way from Benztown for some time now. But when we find ourselves back in our old homeland, we always enjoy coming back here.

Very pretty Schlössle with a beer garden and terrace and a great view.

Great view and nice to rest, even for dogs

A beautiful location enbedded in a lot of green. Nice view down the Hill on which top the building is located. Service is self Service. Runs fast Food is okay. Drinks the best

A lovely destination on a warm, dry day. Many people travel here on foot and by bike. There is a good selection of different cakes. You can also order warm food. There are some benches outside, but unfortunately they are in the long grass. It would be nice if the number of tables outside could be increased, but theoretically there is enough seating inside, and in this weather you can enjoy sitting outside. Employees were very friendly

I always enjoy coming here. It's great what the team is doing here. No long waiting times, large selection, always good quality and still reasonable prices. 👍🏻

I come here regularly as it is a nice place for a short rest. You can pay by card and have a large selection of snacks, meals, drinks and cakes. However, there is no vegan selection and only cow's milk. Out of date and bad for business. The cakes and the food are ok, nothing special. Update to the comment: Thanks for trying to explain the circumstances, but it raised even more question marks and caused a lack of understanding. Oops, I stood on the other side of the counter, even under the worst conditions - Stuttgarter Wasen and it worked. So this is more of an attempt to invalidate my criticism by portraying me as ignorant. Even mountain huts that are served by lift (here "in the middle" of the forest there is direct access for employees) manage to do this, despite small storage space and large crowds. Cow's milk consumption in Germany has halved in the last 50 years. At least these people can switch to tea or cold drinks with you. Regarding cake, does this mean you always throw away cake? Replacing one animal cake with a vegan one is the solution given the huge selection of cakes. Above all, a purely plant-based cake tastes the same as animal-based ones, meaning anyone can eat it. But not the other way around, a lactose intolerant person unfortunately has no way of finding anything here. A bonus point, there is a vegan dish on the menu. And at least vegan cakes from late summer.

The Bärenschlössle was the pleasure palace of Carl Eugen Duke of Württemberg. It's very nice. You can come from different places and are surrounded by forest and lakes. Next to it is the wildlife park with deer and deer. It is very idyllic. The food is very good, there is a daily menu and it is always very busy. There is also very good cake. You can sit inside, outside around the Bärenschlössle and on benches at tables all around. Recommendation!

Very nice restaurant with a good selection of food, both savory and sweet, as well as drinks. Everything was okay in terms of price and tasted good. When the weather is good, the crowds are very high and the parking lot can get a bit tight. However, you can easily go on a beautiful bike tour through the surrounding forest and take a break at the Bärenschlössle. We'll definitely come back more often!
