Gerberhaus

Ulm


This warm, inviting woodcutter’s cottage hits the mark with its delicious mix of Swabian and Italian-inspired dishes. Plump for a river-facing table and sample clean, bright flavours such as home-smoked salmon carpaccio, or Swabian old favourites including Kässpätzle (eggy pasta topped with cheese and fried onions) and Maultaschen (the regional take on ravioli). Day specials cost as little as €7.
