Where to dine in southern Germany in Baden Wurttemberg in Villingen Schwenningen

We are in Baden Wurttemberg known for its white sausages famous for the DOP

The wurst in Germany is an undisputed symbol of culinary tradition, an essential protagonist of street festivals and village events. Among the most iconic is Weißwurst, the famous white sausage typical of Bavaria. Made from beef and pork belly, it is flavored with parsley, lemon and spices, expressing the authenticity of a DOP rooted in the land. Traditionally served with sweet mustard and accompanied by a soft Brezel, Weißwurst is best enjoyed in the morning hours, perhaps with a cool wheat beer.

But German cuisine certainly doesn't stop there. Each region offers a variety of flavors to enjoy: from rich Eintopf (hot stews) to iconic Spätzle, to juicy roast pork served with sauerkraut and Knödel (dumplings). For those with a taste for sweets, a slice of Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest cake) or Apfelstrudel is the perfect closure to a rich and satisfying meal.

Indeed, sausage is just the beginning of a gastronomic journey that tells the story and traditions of a country through authentic and convivial flavors.

where to dine in Villingen - Schwenningen

At Zuma, An Italian restaurant with a modern ambience. In the kitchen, only local ingredients are used, freshly bought at the regional market. The menu is seasonally varying and offers a variety of dining experiences that involve all the senses.





At Gasthaut Ott   is a trendy iconic pub popular with both young people and people of my age. The Beverage selection is interesting and so is the food. I dined outside the evening permitted and it was lovely to be outside. Unfortunately, the images are stock, I had a discharged cell phone and could not take pictures of the tasty dishes with which the pub owner delighted me.

It is one of my very favorite restaurants in this city. The staff is friendly and the the food very tasty and delicious. The ambience is total Indian very fancy. I ordered tandoori chicken, that is chicken and curry sauce, and must-have biriani rice which remains my favorite. My partner palak paneer, a vegan dish with cheese and spinach. The cheese bread (like piadina I don't remember the name) was interesting. Excellent Italian Chianti. At the end a mango floral Spirit. It was too strong for me, but I really enjoyed the owner's gift.

We dined twice here, once with a couple of Mexican friends. Service, hospitality and professionalism really excellent. The quality of the food was very good, and the ingredients very good, although it was not purist Spanish cuisine. Appetizer excellent. Paella was rich in seafood, very good and tasty. I doubled up on it. Wine good and atmosphere warm and pleasant. The jamon was not jamon serrano as mentioned on the menu, it was a good ham but not serrano.

At Saigon 

Cozy place. Food delicious and varied. Very friendly and helpful owner especially offers advice on what to order. I was pleased to find Quality, Price and Goodness. I am a noodle lover, so we ordered a chicken and shrimp rice noodle salad, which was very good.

The Vietnamese rolls are a must and then the fried noodles on a lay of gravy, chicken, shrimp and Vegetables. If you are left with a little space, I would recommend the fried chicken. You share everything, the portions are very plenty

This is the best Chinese restaurant I have dined at in Europe. I always use to go there, every time I get to Villingen. Managed by Chinese people. Great value for money. They do fresh cooking, with an open kitchen. All types of Fried Noodles are fantastic especially with vegetables or chicken but also seafood, with prawns, really good. Delicious ones with fried chicken. The rice with both vegetables and chicken are very good. I do not remember the name of the dish, but the rice is served in the shape of a dome. It also makes take-out. It is one of the very few places maybe the only one that opens in the moorning at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m. everyday. You only pay in cash.



We discovered this Italian pizzeria-restaurant in the middle of the Black Forest outside the town, precisely in Konigsfeld, within the Golfclub Konigsfeld. t is nestled in the greenery of the beautiful Golf club. Cozy atmosphere, quality food. The Management is completely family-run, made in Sicily, and that is what makes it special. You can have antipasti, salads primi and second of meat and fish.

We ordered an ortolana pizza, with bufala mozzarella. This last one was very fresh and the pizza dough very light. Being a good Apulian and living by the sea I wanted to try the fried fish. A very good mix with delicate breading. The dessert was the highlight. The owner, Adelina, had prepared tiramisu in the afternoon. I can assure you that it was a true Italian tiramisu with no German influences and no adaption of flavors. It was really delicious. Several pasta dishes in the menù with names dedicated to Italian actresses who brought cinema to the world. By the end of the evening it was pleasant to talk with Massimo, the grandfather, who is a well of knowledge while enjoying a grappa from the local private collection. The olive oil with which all the dishes are seasoned is strictly Puglia, from Andria.


At Yoake 

A fabulous Japanese restaurant in the center of town.I have been there only once and it is so good. Excellent Sushi, refined dishes, served in an elegant way with a careful eye for design. Very stylish and elegant atmosphere.


When you get there you can hear Italian speaking and immediately feel at home. 'Carmine opened this iceshop many years ago and has succeeded in bringing the quality of Italian ice cream to Germany, with no need to change the taste or the flavors in any way.All the flavors are there. The hazelnut and pistachio, my favorite flavors really good. I enjoyed the strictly artigian cone

The speciality, Spaghetti Gelato, that Germans all over Germany love so much, consists of putting the ice cream in the potato masher and pressing. The bowls in which they serve it are very large.
