Nestled between Rathausplatz and Schlossplatz in a stunning 16th-century building, this lively spot serves top-notch Swabian dishes amid chic, modern decor.
"Located neatly between Rathausplatz and Schlossplatz, opposite the Altes Schloss, the Alte Kanzlei occupies a 16th-century building and serves a fantastically traditional menu of Swabian specialties. Standouts include Maultaschen (meat-filled ravioli), Käsespätzle (cheese-covered noodles), and desserts like Ofenschlupfer (a bread pudding smothered in vanilla sauce), but there’s also fish, steak, and lighter fare should you want something more international. Despite the restaurant’s historic venue, it feels thoroughly modern thanks to clean white walls, blonde-wood chairs, and brass light fixtures hanging over a brightly lit bar. Guests can also look forward to a great selection of beer and wine, plus generally friendly and welcoming service."
Very delicious food, one of my favorites in Stuttgart. The restaurant is beautiful and the service is great too. Whatever you choose, will be delicious. Give it a try!

Excellent Swabian cuisine! The service was fast and helpful. We had a peaceful dinner in the beautiful center of Stuttgart, right behind the Old Castle. Really delicious suckling pig!

A terrific find in Stuttgart. Classic Swabian cuisine in a very German environment. The restaurant has a beautiful outdoor seating area where you are surrounded by medieval architecture in a lovely platz. It also has a very cozy indoor bar and seating area. The wine list is slight and needs enlargement, but the beers are delightful, as are the cocktails. We received great service from the wait staff.

This place is right in the heart of Stuttgart, beside the Neues Schloss. They serve traditional German dishes and the taste is great. We visited yesterday for the first time and the experience was awesome. We ordered Cappuccino, Fried Maultaschen with Kartoffelsalat and Schwabenteller that had Käsespätzle, Maultaschen and Kartoffelsalat. The taste and seasoning was on spot. The balance of flavor was good unlike many other places.
We would love to go back.

Paid 27€ for a tiny schnitzel and apple juice, quite disappointing. The taste was good though. Wanted to order two dishes initially but they immediately said they don’t have takeaway boxes so only one it was… I guess their loss, even though my mind can’t comprehend this.

On the pricier side, but excellent food and friendly service

Amazing Swabian food - must try their Käsespätzle and Potato Salad. Ot's the best I ever tried being from the region myself. Their wine assortment is amazing as well. Great service. We dined in on a Monday night an waited almost 45 mins for our food.

Superb location: one entrance on the grandiose Schlossplatz, the other on the more intimate Schillerplatz with a wonderful view of the Stiftskirche. Locally brewed Kellerbier. What's not to like?
Well, the service, for a start. Only one (overworked and surly) waitress for around 20 outside tables. Another 20 were padlocked up and "unavailable" - even on a perfect autumn evening.
Two customers got fed up with the long wait. And we soon followed.
