Zum Becher restaurant was quite the gem! I stayed at a hotel nearby about 10 mins by walk, and came…read moreby for dinner. It's on a quiet residential street. It is definitely not a tourist site judging by how many locals were around us! It looked like this was their regular restaurant spot! The atmosphere was so welcoming. Several large tables had 8+ people groups who seemed like they were having a blast and were there when I arrived and looked nowhere close to being done when I left!
The menus are all in German but luckily a staff member caught on to my incompetent German and gave me an English menu that was tucked away. There are about 8 main dishes plus several vegetarian options, and soups/sides/dessert. It may seem like it's not an extensive menu but rather, they focus on making homemade components to their dishes and they make them really well!
I ate the fried Maultaschen with egg, it came with a lovely salad with some hidden tastiness! My husband ate the lentils with spätzle and two sausages. I came back two days later after my first visit and ordered a the "Terine Gainsburger marsch", which was a soup/stew with tender beef pieces, potatoes, carrots and spätzle in a flavourful beef broth. I loved it! I finished my meal off with a bread pudding which had a lovely mix of textures and flavourful cream sauce on top!
Service was very friendly.
I left with my pants feeling tighter and super satisfied that I ate some authentic Swabian cuisine.
