$$$-$$$$, German, Heidelberg
Fodor's Review:
This spacious baroque dining room specializes in Ente von Heidelberg (roast duck) and offers refuge from the castle crowds. The menu changes seasonally and offers an extensive selection of international wines. Adjacent to the dining room is the Bistro Backhaus (¢-$; Apr.-Sept., daily; Mar. and Oct., Fri.-Sun.), which has rustic furnishings and a nearly 50-foot-high Backkamin (baking oven). Light fare as well as coffee and cake are served indoors and on the shaded terrace. You can sample rare wines (Eiswein, Beerenauslese) by the glass in the shared wine cellar, or pick up a bottle with a designer label depicting Heidelberg. Reservations are essential for terrace seating at either restaurant in the summer.
