The story
Since 1987, Landhaus Feckl in Ehningen near Sindelfingen has been a destination for those seeking refined, honest cooking. Run by Manuela and Franz Feckl, the restaurant has held one Michelin star for its entire run, a testament to consistency and quiet mastery.
The kitchen focuses on classic French and seasonal cuisine, drawing on regional ingredients and precise technique. The midday menu, available Wednesday through Saturday, offers a three-course glimpse into this approach. A typical meal might begin with a small greeting from the kitchen, followed by a choice of starters such as poached Scottish salmon on lentil vinaigrette with beetroot and horseradish, or oxtail ravioli in a rich braising sauce. Mains could include a duo of Schönbuch venison in juniper cream sauce with roasted mushrooms, pear, and spiced cabbage, or roasted cod in a curry-lentil fond with bok choy and coriander noodles. A dessert variation closes the meal.
The atmosphere is one of understated warmth. The Feckls describe their philosophy as “gastfreundschaft” – the art of making guests feel at home. The dining room is calm and inviting, with a focus on letting the food and service speak for themselves. The wine list is carefully curated, and the restaurant is fully wheelchair accessible, with vegetarian options available.
For those under 30, the “TWENÜ” offer provides an accessible entry point to starred dining: a three-course surprise menu with aperitif, wine pairing, and espresso for €95 per person.
Landhaus Feckl remains a steady presence in the Stuttgart region – a place where seasonal, classic French cooking has been practiced with integrity for nearly four decades.
