Restaurant Tauberquelle in Stuttgart

Nice Swabian restaurant with changing daily specials. From small dishes to really sumptuous dishes, everything is available. The small beer garden is a real gem in summer!

Swabian cuisine in a nice atmosphere

One of the few existing restaurants with German and Swabian cuisine. The Tauberquelle is a nice, cozy, family-run restaurant with a small beer garden. The map is clear, but leaves little to be desired. No frills. Fair prices, delicious food, very friendly service. We'd love to come back.

Some of the food was cold. We had to sit next to the only two other people right at the entrance, even though the restaurant was completely empty, because the other seats were supposedly reserved. Not true... It wasn't a great experience.

Very, very good food, great staff and world-class boss!!

Good cheese spaetzle and cheese soup, especially the extra room next to the beer garden is cozy.

Ich war Mittags in der Tauberquelle und hatte das Schnitzel mit Pommes und Salat. Da hat alles gepasst. Auch beim Service konnte ich nicht meckern. Da gehe ich sicher wieder hin. Zu empfehlen.

delicious Swabian food and super friendly service

Very tasty Swabian food. Service very nice and attentive. Very comfortable despite the narrow seating :) Reservation on the weekend is definitely recommended

The food is very delicious, diverse and satisfying. It has a very nice atmosphere. I recommend.

Quaint, tasty and prices reasonable.

Highly recommended, pretty authentic Swabian dishes. Good service.

Cozy restaurant with good Swabian food and great service. A reservation is essential.

Wonderfully rustic Swabian, cozy restaurant with a great beer garden. Absolute recommendation!

absolute Katastrophe, hatten für Gansessen reserviert, zugewiesener Tisch, sehr klein, war direkt an der Garderobe und Ausgang, Frage ob anderer Tisch frei ist wurde unhöflich und barsch zurückgewiesen, als es dann auch keine Gans gab haben wir die Bleibe verlassen, Eigentümerin entschuldigte sich, konnte sich aber nicht kümmern, sie musste auf den Weihnachtsmarkt😡

We had a lovely dinner here! The atmosphere is very informal and friendly, we immediately liked it. The waiters were very polite and nice, especially an Italian girl which made the communication way easier for us! Anyway everyone spoke English. The service was fast and the dishes were very tasty, the best we've had in the last few days in Germany. The menu also has different vegetarian options, not only the usual soups but also some main dishes, so we were very happy!

Hello everyone, I rarely write reviews, but this time I really feel the urge to leave a comment. I am convinced by the quality of the food and the restaurant. I've been here before and was happy to come back and even recommended the restaurant to my colleagues. There is nothing to complain about here and when it comes to the food, as I said, I strongly recommend it because it is really delicious! I ordered the Grandma Anna plate, which consists of a Maultaschen, pork medallion, meatball and spaetzle. Since I don't eat meat in one piece, I asked if it would be possible to swap the pork medallion for cheese spaetzle. This was answered in the affirmative without any problems and no further discussion was made about it. But then when I got the bill, without having heard anything about it: an additional charge of €4. When asked, it was said that the extra request actually cost €6.50 and that “only” €4 was charged because the meat was not included. (again: to make cheese spaetzle from spaetzle, which is already on the plate, an additional charge of €6.50 - a good 31%!) Sorry, I'm happy to pay an extra charge for extra requests, but unfortunately that's really out of proportion for me. Savings were made on expensive meat and I find it almost outrageous to charge €4 on top of that without communication. It would be nice if the price structure were thought through again or at least communicated openly. 20% surcharge for 1/3 less meat and some cheese, really? Next time I'll probably look for another traditional restaurant in Stuttgart, despite the great taste. Too bad. dearest greetings Eric

Location of the restaurant is good. Ambiance absolutely “raggedy”. The staff's dealings with customers were more than unfriendly. Since there wasn't enough space inside, a gazebo was built outside. Put a few fan heaters in place and it's done. Craziness. Crammed together in a heap, sitting in a draft when it was 2°C outside. Absolute disgrace and will definitely not have another visit. In this case you can speak of a rip-off. It's a shame. The Internet has provided more here in advance. Absolutely not recommended.

Quaint Swabian restaurant. Delicious cuisine, good service and nice guests

Hatten keine Reservierung,aber wollte endlich mal was anständiges zu essen bekommen.Nach kurzen Warten hatten wir auch ein Tisch bekommen.Das Hirschgulasch war sehr lecker und Preis/Leistung war ok!wir hatten nicht vor solange da zu sitzen aber es gingen locker 4 Stunden in Land .Es ist ne Schwäbische Wirtschaft und ja es ist eng aber es ist auch gemütlich.Besitzerin hält an jedem Tisch ein Schwätzchen.Das gibt es nirgends mehr.Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Tisch war rechtzeitig reserviert, zugewiesen würde ein kleiner Zweiertisch an der Eingangstür. Obwohl noch viele Tische frei waren, wurden trotz Bitte nicht der Versuch unternommen einen anderen Tisch zu finden. Wohl die Restaurantchefin, nicht die Eigentümerin war extrem unhöflich. Wir waren extra zum Gansessen gekommen, gab es aber nicht, obwohl es auf der Karte stand. Wir haben das Restaurant dann verlassen

You reserve a table, get a confirmation by email, then 5 hours later you get a call from a rude woman who doesn't even introduce herself by name and the reservation is cancelled. If you ask, you will simply hang up. We wanted to go there based on a recommendation, but they don't seem to need it. I've never experienced anything like this! Wow! One star is too many!

There is also the typical Swabian restaurant with a lot of cosiness and delicious Swabian specialties

A beautiful, authentic Swabian economy. Good food at still reasonable prices. Definitely make a reservation in advance as it is always busy. If you are interested you can also visit the stand at the Christmas market. Is on Schillerplatz. There is, at least for me, the best mulled wine in Stuttgart.

We enjoyed an after-work beer there

Goose leg was excellent with bread dumplings and red cabbage. Service and boss very friendly. We recommend a dry Black Riesling. If anyone wants a dessert, I recommend vanilla ice cream at Bailey.

Food very good. Service good. It's just a shame that the whole thing seems a bit tired. Otherwise you could describe it as quaint.

Down-to-earth Swabian fair prices and portions

Visited again after many, many years. It's nice when a Swabian restaurant lasts for so long. Very satisfied - and I think it won't be another 15-20 (?) years before we come back here. 4 honest stars - there is always room for improvement...

Small but impressive - very cozy there and above all very tasty food, quality and quantity were optimal, the service was also great, we would like to come back

Good homely, cozy restaurant. Food very tasty and good portions. There is still traditional food here. But also seasonal dishes Good value for money. Highly recommended!

Typical, delicious dishes at fair prices. Bottled water always extra.

Cozy atmosphere in the next room on the 1st floor, good food selection and friendly service

Delightful delicious German delicacy’s. The service was unforgettably fine indeed. Affordable flavourful foods. This place deserves a powerful 5 star. Thank you

Super tasty schnitzel. And always friendly.

The restaurant was recommended to us and we were not disappointed. The food is really in a class of its own. The spaetzle with lentils was excellent. The ambience also invites you to sit a little longer. 5 stars are still not enough.

Good food, small place so they might have no place to sit you.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted very warmly. We hadn't made a reservation and it was very full for a Tuesday evening, so we didn't have too high expectations. Surprisingly, after a short while at the counter we got a very nice table. Very friendly young lady who always had an eye on every table, never intrusive but always there if we needed something. The waiter was also very, very nice and we felt completely at home. The food was good, unfortunately a bit carelessly prepared, but the service made up for it all. So gastro is very attentive but not intrusive. The boss was probably also in the shop or so we assumed. We would have really liked to praise her staff but unfortunately she wasn't at our table. We definitely recommend you and hope that we will see the young lady and gentleman again next time. Thank you for the lovely evening.

For lovers of rural Swabian cuisine. The sour tripe with fried potatoes is legendary. In the best Stuttgart tradition, a lonely guest sits at every table and looks grumpy when someone wants to sit down. It couldn't be more Swabian. You just have to have it now and then

Who doesn't know the Tauberquelle?

Very nice service and great food :-) very tasty sauce ;-)

Delicious Wiener Schnitzel and potato salad

THE FOOD, ONION Roast, VERY CHOUGH, COULD HARDLY CUT WITH THE KNIFE AVAILABLE. . The spices were also missing in terms of taste. For the drinks, no ice cubes, not even for the drinks that simply have ice cubes.

On Google it said open and it was closed, we are in 2024 please!!!

Zähes Fleisch, geschmacklich kein Genuss, de R Zwiebelrostbraten liess sich mit dem vorliegenden Messer kaum schneiden

Authentic and delicious dishes. Great service.

Delicious food, attentive service and a rustic atmosphere at fair prices

We were served even without a reservation

Food was great, we really wanted homemade Maultaschen with potato salad and melted onions

Cozy restaurant with a rustic beer garden. Friendly staff

Great service and super delicious food. When I'm back in Stuttgart I'll come back. Absolutely.

Swabian cuisine at a high level in a relaxed, casual atmosphere.

We spontaneously went out for dinner with 4 people and unfortunately couldn't enjoy the nice beer garden when the weather was great. The food was very tasty and the portions were quite large.

Typical restaurant with small patio at the back of the restaurant Very attentive and continuous service

Definitely recommend for people visiting - excellent food, great service. I'd suggest sitting outside if you can, though, as inside was a little stuffy

We had reserved a table for our group by phone. When we entered the restaurant, the first question we asked was whether we all wanted to eat something (no, just some of it). We were then informed that we would not be served. When we asked why it wasn't mentioned over the phone that all guests had to eat something, we were told in a snippy tone that it was a restaurant, which means we should have guessed it. Overall, a very unpleasant first (and last) encounter.

Were turned away because not everyone in our group wanted to eat.

Unfortunately very unfriendly staff and not good service. Something was discussed three times in advance by telephone and no one knew anything about it on the day of the reservation. The guest was blamed. Really a shame!

Highly recommended. Nice staff, delicious food.

Impeccable food. Were there with friends from the USA to show the German/Swabian food culture. Authentic Swabian cuisine like grandma's with friendly service and a cozy ambience. I can only recommend it.

You just can't walk past there🚶‍♀️ Swabian specialties are really great. Maultaschen no matter what kind. Delicious. The small beer garden loving and quiet. That's exactly what we were looking for. Were very happy to have stopped there.

We had an excellent evening here, with great food. To my dismay, the experience was somewhat spoiled at the end when my non-German friend went to pay and was asked by staff to increase his tip to 10%, with staff telling him that was "expected" and "customary" in Germany. That's not true: while everyone tips, you can tip as much as you like (and we would have given a generous tip). But this ended up in asking for a 15+ EUR tip. I think that's very inappropriate.

Delicious down-to-earth food at reasonable prices Here and there a little refinement could be added and a little less salt then it would be perfect.

The best cheese spaetzle I've ever eaten and everything around it is great too

Best Swabian cuisine. We've been here for the third time now and we're thrilled every time. This time there was tripe with fried potatoes. One of the best Trollinger sauces I've ever had. We will definitely come back. Thanks to the team for the excellent service.

Always an experience!!! You can find a nice, cozy place in the middle of the big city. Here you feel coziness and taste wonderful Swabian cuisine. We were always given a very warm welcome and would be happy to come back.

Cozy Swabian gastronomy, friendly staff, delicious food

Nice restaurant with Swabian dishes. Very attentive service. Food very good. A restaurant that is worth a visit

You want to reserve a table for 6 people and are shouted at and turned away. What an arrogant manner. Msj doesn't want to leave his money there voluntarily. We don't support people like that. And that's a time when everyone miscalculates... Is it still possible?

Friendly service, the food is very good but at a high price. Sausage salad with bread costs 14 euros. The ambience is not excellent, the beer garden, more like a beer garden, is nested and small, the restaurant is nice and old, which is rare in Stuttgart due to the lack of building materials.

Lentils with spaetzle are one of my favorite dishes and I have to say that it is really delicious here! I've tried many restaurants in Stuttgart and I've enjoyed it here the best so far.

A huge thank you to the lovely waitress who spontaneously assigned us a seat even though at first glance everything was very well organized. We had a wonderful evening in the Tauberquelle, great atmosphere, delicious food. You really feel welcome and cared for here and we will recommend you to others.

Difficult to identify vegetarian dishes. My dish (spinach balls) was good but nothing more. The dessert was very good. The server was very friendly. But the bill was higher than the dishes we took, without the possibility of verifying it. Especially since the dishes are more expensive on the English menu than on the German menu. Really disappointed with the payment. In addition, a mixture of smells (fried food, detergent, cigarettes) during the meal was frankly not pleasant.

Incredibly cozy little beer garden where you can eat, drink and escape the noise of football on warm summer evenings!

Dear tourists, be careful! This restaurant is not honest. First, the prices offered on the English menu are more expensive than on the German menu. When you pay, you are not presented with the bill. And it turns out that it is much higher than the prices displayed! So ok, there are these stories of tips that tourists “forget” to give but putting the knife to consumers’ throats is not serious. The server was nevertheless pleasant.

Took about 40 min to get the food, one of the plates came wrong, I asked it with salad and I received potato salad. The food was cold. The lentils were not fully cooked. The speck was crunchy, according to them, was cooked and not fried. And in my plate (maultaschen) I found a piece of metal, and after showing the person in the bar he just said; sorry??? The price is also expensive, almost 20€ for each plate. Worst experience ever, don’t waist your time and money in this place.

Helt igennem fantastisk tysk mad. Meget hyggelig gårdhave! Jeg kan anbefale dette sted. Maden kom hurtigt og skøn betjening

Contrary to previous visits to the restaurant, the salad was sparse with too much dressing and the espresso was tepid. According to the waiter, this is not to be expected from an espresso machine. Hopefully both are “slips”.

Ideally typical, rustic Swabian pub with nice service, a very nice beer garden and excellent food: nice large terrine Gaisburger Marsch, practically not salted and peppered, but that can be made up for, very tasty with apparently hand-scraped spaetzle! (9.50 EUR) Then a plate with two Maultaschen, homemade, and gravy, melted onions and very tasty, flaky potato salad, in this case everything was perfectly seasoned, the Maultaschen were world class! (15.80 EUR) Plus a fine quarter of Stuttgart Trollinger, although not brick red and guaranteed to be mixed with a dark wine for coloring (Dornfelder, Domina, Cabernet, Acolon or something similar), but it was really tasty! To recommend!

Had lunch here recently. We reserved online and the confirmation came promptly by email. The restaurant is comfortably furnished, the service is on the ball and very friendly. We were able to quickly take our seats and order. We all ordered Swabian food. I had lentils with spaetzle, strings and bacon. I have never eaten such delicious lentils in any restaurant. I can say “Mom, these are as delicious as yours”. I'll come back and eat the tripe. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, I'll add them next time.

Wanted to eat in the beer garden. I have rarely experienced such unfriendly and impossible service. Went straight back

A wonderful, rustic gem in the middle of the city with a very nice and quiet beer garden. Quick and extremely friendly, courteous staff. The meals are extremely tasty across the board and, above all, sufficient. Therefore the price-performance ratio is more than correct. Worth mentioning is the good Dinkelacker beer from the Steinkrug and the homemade orange-lime lemonade. We always enjoy coming to the Tauberquelle!

Great beer garden! Luckily we got a spot spontaneously without making a reservation, but a reservation is recommended. Was super tasty! Service very nice and accommodating! Gladly again!

A big disadvantage for me personally: you can ONLY pay in CASH!! So I had to get up, walk to the ATM, and then come back and just pay for the food. I still left a tip because it wasn't the wait staff's fault.

Beautiful beer garden and excellent food with attentive service. Gladly again

Very tasty food and nice beer garden 👍

Nice little restaurant. I had the maultaschen with potato salad, a Spezi and a glass of white wine.

Haben sehr leckertradtionell Schwäbisch gegessen, schneller und sehr netter service Uriges gemütliches Restaurants kommen gerne wieder.

The food was very tasty and the service was very, very friendly and extremely attentive. We sat inside. The atmosphere is rather rustic but cozy.

Very friendly and attentive service, good price-performance ratio, food was very tasty, Swabian cuisine, very good Maultaschen, also with special filling, recommended!

The food was very mediocre and came out a few hours later by express route

Super friendly service, great traditional food. Delicious beer and wine and all in a rustic atmosphere. We hadn't reserved a table and were still accommodated flexibly. We would be happy to come back the next time we visit Stuttgart.

Great ambience and great service And a boss in a good mood, thank you We will be back

Tastes very good. 5 stars will be given the next time the portion (Cordon Bleu) is larger. I had to grab a snack in the neighborhood when we left your restaurant🙄

There were five of us eating. Very nice reception, table was good, but a little close to the neighbor, so we were able to move around without any problems (very flexible). Orders were received in a friendly manner and we regularly asked if everything was OK. All the food was great, good portions and very tasty. Gladly again...

Very good pork cheeks eaten, absolutely top class. The restaurant doesn't have much space in winter or when the weather is bad, so make sure you make a reservation. The service was friendly and quick. I'm very satisfied. 👍👍👍

Great food and nice service. Always my pleasure

Cozy and beautiful Lokas. In winter it is cozy and warm inside, in summer you can sit in the garden in the back yard. The food is super tasty and cheap for current conditions 😉 I like to be there for a beer or a cozy get-together

Maultaschen good. Hospitality 0.0. Never again...

Everything was great and excellent service. I advise.
