Schlossweinstube

On the grounds of Heidelberg Castle, this is one of the most dramatic places to dine in the city, with Heidelberg laid out down below. On a summer night, a table on its panoramic terrace is the most desired in town. A selection of soups or appetizers, ranging from a mango and endive salad to a fish terrine, gets you started. Every night a carefully crafted array of main dishes features the freshest of fish, meats, and poultry, along with vegetarian options. Seasonal specialties may include Swabian saddle of pork with lintels and apple-potato cakes in a dark beer and cumin sauce.

Adjoining is the less expensive Bistro Backhaus, serving regional fare in a rustic setting with the largest Backkamin (baking oven) in Heidelberg. You can even stop in here for coffee and cake.
