2 Best Restaurants in Lindau, The Bodensee

This ancient inn was serving warm meals to the patricians, officials, merchants, and other good burghers of Lindau back in the 14th century. Today you can sit under the building's arches on the cobblestoned street or in the traditional warm wooden interior and enjoy authentic home-style cooking featuring fish from the lake in season, venison from the mountains, and apples—pressed to juice or distilled to schnapps—from local orchards.

In this bright-pink half-timbered building dating to the 1500s, three generations of the Scheiner family have run wine bars named for a classic German song, \"Die Fischerin vom Bodensee\" (\"The Fisherwoman From the Bodensee\"). It's a cozy place to pair well-curated wines from local producers with shareable dishes such as an impressive opener of white beans with chili oil and hummus with focaccia. This version is a gallery, too, with attractive art lining the wooden walls of a small dining area just below street level.
