Staderer

Floor-to-ceiling windows look straight out over the Altmühl River, so the terrace table is the one to ask for. This is a Michelin-starred fine dining room inside a riverside hotel, built around a five-course set menu that starts from French technique and quietly wanders further. The chef's dishes are precise and composed rather than showy, and the wine list leans into German, Italian, and French producers with genuine depth.
