Note: The only German I know is Danke and Bitte. But that did not take away from the amazing service and incredible food here!!! I was on a trip to Stuttgart and staying in the SI-Spectrum area. I was able to walk here - so convenient! I'm literally writing this review from the table because it couldn't wait. The portion was enough for two meals, but it was so delicious that I couldn't stop!!! I tried. I couldn't! I ordered the German pancake filled with ham and white asparagus topped with hollandaise sauce. Did I mention I couldn't stop eating it??! And of course, a glass of red wine. And the service...the hostess was so warm and welcoming and presented me with a much-needed English menu. And the owner came to check on me throughout the meal. Adopt me please? Danke. I will definitely be back...like every night I have left on this trip because there were about 7 entrees I was trying to decide between... read more

Restaurant A.C. Hotel Hoferer - German pancake filled with ham and white asparagus topped with hollandaise sauce...and a glass of red of course! - German Near Me - Stuttgart, BW

It wasn't very busy either of the times I visited the restaurant at the A.C. Hotel Hoferer, which might be good since the kitchen appears to be tiny. Despite it's diminutive size though, they put out some good swabian food. The menu isn't terribly long, but they do have a decent list of daily specials, which we had success with. While they have copies of the menu itself in english, the daily specials will be verbally translated, not written down. The server's english on both visits was perfectly good, which is good since my German is extremely limited (schnitzel, brautwurst, currywurst, hefeweizen, and pils are about it). As far as food goes, the smoked salmon entree was a generous portion of smoked salmon, and the warm potato hash brown underneath it made it heartier than just a plate of smoked salmon. It seems like maultaschen is the best way to judge a swabian restaurant, so I went with that and was quite happy with it, although my favorite that I've had so far was at Gaststatte zum Paulaner in downtown. I also really appreciate that most of the meals here come with a side salad, and they dress it more with vinegar than with oil, so it feels more refreshing than most side salads in the US. The complementary plum brandy is a nice way to end the meal; whatever you do, don't shoot it (that would be rude), just sip and enjoy! read more

This review is for the restaurant at this hotel only. The AC Hotel restaurant is great. I have been here for dinner with coworkers on two occasions and have had a great meal with great service both times. The best thing about this place is the owner. His name escapes me at the moment, but he speaks good English and is very welcoming. He has a lot of great stories about the origins of the food on the menu, and offers each guest a small glass of plum brandy after each meal. He will warn you, though, you must sip and enjoy the brandy. If you shoot it, he will never allow you to have it again. The food is wonderful. I had pork once and maultaschen once. Both were excellent, the best German meals I had in Germany. I had my best beers in Germany at this restaurant while enjoying the company of some very good friends. They're happy to let you hang out and enjoy the night for as long as you want. The house beer is Schonbuch Brau, and it is easily the best pils I had during the 4 months I had the pleasure of living in Stuttgart. I like it so much I asked if I could buy the logo glass I had been drinking from. The owner simply wrapped it up and gave it to me. That's Germany for you, just awesome, happy, friendly people who love what they do. Excellent food, fantastic service, this place is well deserving of 5 stars. Can't wait to go back. read more

I was hesitant to eat at a hotel restaurant- they usually aren't anything spectacular... This place is clearly the exception. It is walking distance from where I am staying and I cannot wait to go back. I had the pork fillets. The meat was so tender and the sauce had so much flavor. Their selection of wine is rather good and they give you a delightful little surprise at the end of your meal. Staff was very warm and welcoming- bonus they have an English menu! read more

Restaurant A.C. Hotel Hoferer - German Near Me - Stuttgart, BW

This restaurant is just a short walk from the SI Millennium complex and is vastly superior to anything you will find there. Like home run, victory lap, touchdown, hole-in-one superior. The food and service are fantastic and for us, Americans, there is an English language menu and a wonderful waitress who speaks the language fluently. Be sure to try the chef's onion soup special - it's like the better looking cousin of French Onion soup, the idea is the same, but the execution and taste are slightly different and definitely delicious. Additionally, the maultaschen (think ravioli with meat) on a bed of perfectly sauteed spinach and topped with a fried egg is a real treat. The chef's special salad, fresh greens and peppers topped with fried "potato pouches" stuffed with goat's cheese is a refreshing dish, in contrast with the usually heavy German cuisine. Make sure you save room for both dessert, the fried apples with ice cream are a must, and of course, the (in)famous plum brandy, which will set your throat on fire! But, any restaurant that offers free schnapps post-diner gets 5 stars in my book. read more

Both the Hotel and the restaurant are great. I travel here from the U.S frequently and this is the first time I have stayed. If you want to get the traditional German hospitality is a large city, this is the place to stay. The staff is very accommodating, the hotel is very clean, and the free breakfast is outstanding! When business brings me back to Stuttgart, I will make sure that I stay here and h read more

Superb dinner! The dining area is quaint and cozy and the food is outstanding. This was one of our last meals in Germany after four years and we were all very pleased with our experience. The roast was cooked to perfection and the plum brandy is a great closer with the story by the owner. read more

Amazing food, customer service and brandy. I was lucky enough to visit while the white asparagus was in season. The staff is incredibly friendly and was able to explain the menu in English. At the end of the meal they offer you a glass of locally made plum brandy...sip only or you will insult the owners. read more

Great dinner and service. The pork medallions were delicious. Also noticed a weekly menu insert, and with Asparagus season underway plenty to choose from. Looking forward to going back this week. read more

Was really disappointed to write this review. First I will start with the restaurant - pretty amazing in regards to the quality of the food. Absolutely no complaints here and that is why the 2 stars. The negative is two things: being told by the owner that it is "customary to tip 5-10% in Germany if the food was just okay and 15-20% if the food is stellar" after I finished dinner. He continued to compare it to the waitresses in the US. I disagreed and told him US waitresses work for 2.13 USD an hour (+ tips) and in Germany by law they make the minimum wage at 8.50 Euro an hour. The locals and other people told me to round up to the next euro on a bill for a tip. Bottom line - a tip is for service, not the food - there is a 19% tax on everything in the country and that is included in the price of food in the country. Second complaint is if you want wireless there they give you a code for each device. Only the code ends after 45 minutes and forget trying to stream anything (aka, scroll thru Facebook and watch any short clips not watch Netflix). I had to input a new code everytime the wireless timed out. I ended up getting 5 codes DAILY and had to reconnect every hour or so. And you sign for EACH code and have to go to the front desk for new ones. Inconvenient and outdated. I moved out after a week and got a modern room twice the size that is upgraded with TV and movies for the same price and a fully stocked minibar that is free daily. Won't be back even for the food after my experience there. read more

The food is excellent and the service couldn't be better. If you are looking for a wonderful place to bring friends or family this is it. You will not regret your decision to come here. read more

Martin and the staff provide great service and great food. My number one place to get steak in Stuttgart.

What a great place. Very excellent food, and service. Just like you are invited into the proprietor home. Had the special and the pork was excellent and the ratatouille good as well. Not large but well worth the walk from the si. read more
