Weinstube Kochenbas
Said to be Stuttgart's oldest wine tavern, dating back to 1858, where you sit at long wooden tables for Maultaschen with potato salad and sour kidneys.
Located at Immenhofer Straße 33 in the Lehen district of southern Stuttgart, right next to Fangelsbach cemetery, in an older gabled house that is lower than the buildings around it. The name comes from the Koch family who ran it years ago: after their shifts, vineyard workers would say they were heading to 'Cousin Koch's' (Kochenbas). It is now run by a new generation and keeps its old-fashioned tavern atmosphere. Falstaff gives it 84 points. Recommended dishes include Swabian Maultaschen with potato salad, sour kidneys and onion steak, paired with local wine. About €25–35 per person. Seating is limited and the atmosphere is lively, so phone ahead for evening reservations. Take the light rail to Bihlplatz or Marienplatz and walk from there.
