Another stop for Swabian fare—which is what you should eat while in Stuttgart—is an elegant and antiques-filled dining room across from the train station in the Steigenberger Graf Zeppelin hotel, an outlet of a German chain. The food stays close to old Swabian recipes and dispels any notions of generic hotel dining rooms; Schwäbischer Sauerbraten (a Swabian version of marinated beef) and other classics are often accompanied by Spätzle with roasted onions and buttered bread crumbs.
