They offer a full menu and a buffet, providing a wide variety of local cuisine. We decided b to try the buffet and also ordered a glass of Prosecco. Started with a cheese, onion and tomato omelette, with a side of sausage and bacon. Five stars! The omelette was cooked perfectly, and very lite. A great hidden gem in a small German city.

Other than the yellow jackets swarming our table, which were plaguing the restaurants all over…read moreGermany, this was the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely weekend breakfast. Situated right on Staufen's central plaza next to the town hall, be sure and sit outside where you can savor your buffet breakfast while people watching. (Don't miss Saturday market!) The buffet choices are typical for Germany...cold cuts, cheese, rolls, eggs, fruit...not heavy on the sweets. (There are plenty of non-buffet baked goods for purchase.) My caramel latte was LECKER...not too strong, not too sweet. Service was quietly functional. Despite the annoyance of the yellow jackets, I must say it was fascinating to watch them carve out massive pieces of our meat and fly off trembling with excitement and sheer exhaustion.

We never got to eat here tonight despite our standing first outside on the patio to be seated and…read morethen inside. The wait staff walked by us multiple times without even acknowledging me and my husband, stopping to seat others who had come after we had. Perhaps they were regulars? It was a slow Monday night in town. Not impressed. We took our business elsewhere and enjoyed an excellent meal at Hotel Kreuzer-Post instead!

In the U.S., I avoid restaurants inside of hotels. That is definitely not the case in Germany. We…read morehad one of the best meals - no, experiences - here. The interior is traditional Bavarian...and, we were surrounded by happy locals eating and drinking with smiles on their faces. The menu is full of choices for a classic German meal. I can't believe it, but they even made liver taste good. Good wine, good food, and old fashioned service. I love places where the chef (who in this case was also the owner) comes to the table to talk. When he found me (shamefully) drinking white wine with Sprite, he became determined to improve my palate. He ran back to the bar and quickly returned with a true weissweinschorle...white wine with UNsweetened sparkling water. OK...I'm improved. And, I no longer have to be embarrassed for adding something to my wine in the interest of greater enjoyment! Be sure and top off your meal with some Schladerer schnapps. It's Germany's best schnapps and the brewery is right around the corner. But be warned...this is not your American mama's schnapps. Be prepared to be warmed from head to toe.

This was a really lovely little hotel in Stauffen. We didn't have reservations, as me and my…read morehusband were just driving around Bavaria, and decided last minute that we wanted to check out this town for a few days. The hostess at the counter said they had availability and asked if I wanted to see the room first before booking, which was nice, but unnecessary- the hotel was one of the suggested places to stay in the tour book we had, and it hadn't let us down yet. It was a nice, traditionaly looking German room, with a balconey and nice view of the town. It was supposed to be a non-smoking room, but we could still smell a bit of the musty smoke coming from other rooms. It was still ok, and didn't bother us too much. It served breakfast in the morning, with the typical items which was good, and we also tried the restaurant in the evening- a heavy pork chop, fresh frites, and a glass or two of local wine and we left very full and satisfied.

This one stands out because of the enormous choice. The quality is good, the staff serving is friendly and located at an A-location only a few meters from hot main market square in a side street. The only minor remark are the prices, they are a bit higher than usually: 10-20%. Probably, because of the location in tourist magnet Staufen. Overall: 4

Currywurst makes my heart pitter patter. Maybe it's the tubular encased meat or the slightly spiced…read moreketchup. Maybe even the sprinkling of curry powder. Curry & Fritz is a small shop located in a great pedestrian section of Freiburg. It's a one woman operation featuring tasty cheap food. I ordered currywurst with mounds of curry sauce and pommes klein with a dusting of powder (curry/paprika??). They also ask if you want grilled onions with that. Besides the currywurst, they have other options, but cheap, tasty sausages are the focus. Enjoy.
