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.

Visited this place with my family to get some traditional German food. Seating is outside and it's…read morea very urban environment, so if you're used to restaurants in a big city and can handle the humidity, then you'll appreciate this. Parked on the street and since I didn't have change, the server was good enough to let me borrow a parking permit so I didn't need to feed the meter. Server was great and willing to explain the various dishes. Ordered the tripe stew, German raviolis and schnitzel. While my kids didn't enjoy it as much, I thought it was great. Really liked their potato salad. While food and service was definitely a solid four, the ambiance/weather (especially when it's hot) and credit card is why I held out to 3.5. If the food is the same the next time, I'll bump up to a to a 4.

It's a great location and I'd highly recommend this place if you're looking upscale Swabian comfort food near the train station!

Its a very typical Swabian biergarten. I enjoyed dinner here a lot. For beer, I think they have a…read morefew on offer, but the specialty is yeast wheat ale and that's what I got. It was a really lovely beer - my only complaint is that others at the table got twice the amount of foam on top that I got. For food, they have a main menu of all the typical Swabian biergarten foods and but there are also seasonal specials. Right now it's asparagus and strawberries in season, so they were featured prominently. I had a dish of asparagus with crepes and hollandaise, which was very memorable! The asparagus was cooked to this almost creamy consistency while still maintaining the brightness of fresh vegetables. The crepes were buttery and very good. I don't get why it was so expensive though - it was €22 which was more expensive than most of the meat dishes on the menu and it was just a normal-sized dinner. We were in a huge group that reserved the whole restaurant, and for the most part the staff sufficiently managed the big group. There wasn't too long a wait to order and our food came out in a reasonable time.

If I'm back in the area I'll give Staffele another visit, but I'm rounding up from 3.5 based on the…read morefirst visit. Staffele is a cute little place tucked back into the side streets in the seam between the Mitte, Sud, and West neighborhoods, a quick walk from Feuersee. The inside is old-school dark and pub-like, but outside they have a small (covered) beer garden with a handful of tables. You are right in the city, but tucked into a tiny side-street, so it's still nicely quiet. We found the service to be okay, but even more business-like than our other meals of the week. As far as the food went, the jaegerschnitzel was good, and the maultaschen with eggs was one of my favorite dishes of the trip. Usually maultaschen seems to be served as a giant meat-filled ravioli with a cream sauce or broth, but here they serve it chopped into bite-sized pieces, pan-fried with eggs, and without sauce (vaguely like fried-rice, but with meat ravioli). It was a nice change of pace and a tasty choice. If I find myself in the area again, I'll stop by and try some more of the menu out...
