Engelstube

Lake Constance


Dark wood panelling and plenty of rustic touches keep the vibe cosy at this smart wine tavern, which looks proudly back on more than 600 years of history. Regional dishes such as Lake Constance fish with herbs, and roast Bavarian ox are cooked to a T. Try to snag a spot on the pavement terrace in summer.
