Restaurants, cafes and bakeries in Kaštel Novi

Restaurant Schoko brings an unusual ingredient into German cooking: chocolate appears in savory dishes as well as desserts. At this family restaurant on Hauptstraße in Rheinstetten's Forchheim district, cocoa is used much like a seasoning, adding depth to sauces and accompanying vegetables, meat or fish. The kitchen has developed this approach since 2008, with combinations changing alongside the seasonal menu. Guests can explore the idea through individual dishes or a menu arranged around chocolate. The name has a history that predates the cooking concept. Founder Richard Karle worked as a photographer and also sold chocolate in round tins after the war. His local nickname eventually became the name of the cafe he opened with his wife Hilda. The business dates to 1947 and is now run by the third generation. Alongside its chocolate specialties, Schoko serves German dishes with contemporary influences, including meat, fish and vegetarian choices. Seasonal themes include regional asparagus, game and goose. A changing lunch selection complements the main menu, while dinners for two offer several courses for birthdays, anniversaries or another occasion worth marking. Celebrations are another part of the restaurant's work. Its gallery is an official location for civil weddings, allowing a ceremony and meal to take place together, with a reception in the small garden. Family gatherings and company events can also be arranged. Parking is available in the courtyard and in front of the building. Dogs are welcome indoors and in the garden, and meals from the current menu can be ordered by telephone for collection.

Da Gino

Rheinstetten · Italian · Pizza · Vegetarian

Rheinaustraße 53, 76287 Rheinstetten

+49 7242 9538400

Da Gino is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria on Rheinaustraße in Mörsch. Giovanni Scarafile is the proprietor, and the restaurant presents itself as a place for Italian cooking in a comfortable dining setting. It offers meals at the table as well as a separate menu for collection, giving visitors a choice between eating out and bringing food back to their accommodation. Pizza is a substantial part of that collection menu. The familiar starting points are Margherita, mushroom, salami and ham pizzas, followed by combinations such as tuna with onions or ham with pineapple. A vegetable pizza pairs its tomato and cheese base with fresh vegetables. Guests who prefer a stronger topping combination can choose the Piccante, which brings together ham, salami, peppers and hot chili peppers. Other variations change the sauce or the shape. Bolognese pizza uses a tomato and minced meat sauce, while the Salsiccia version adds spicy salami and onions to that base. The folded calzone contains ham, salami and fresh mushrooms. Flammkuchen provides another direction, using crème fraîche with bacon and onions; a further version adds cheese, mushrooms and garlic. The classic pizzas are offered in two sizes. The restaurant is directly beside the Rheinaustraße tram stop, as described in the municipality's restaurant guide. That makes public transport a practical option for a meal here. For table reservations or questions about collecting an order, guests can contact the restaurant directly by telephone or email. The house publishes separate restaurant and kitchen schedules.

Gasthaus & Pension Grüner Baum

Eberbach · Balkan grill · Mediterranean · German home cooking

Neckarstraße 51, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 92400

The Grüner Baum is a small family run inn with guest rooms on Neckarstraße in Eberbach, on the river side of the town and a little over four kilometres from Allemühl in a straight line. The family describes its cooking as Mediterranean and German, with a strong thread of homemade Balkan grill dishes, and puts the emphasis on fresh ingredients, good craft and regional produce where it can. The menu reads like a meeting point of those kitchens. To start there are prawns on avocado cream with garlic baguette, goat's cheese baked in pastry with walnuts and honey, grilled peppers under melted cheese, bruschetta, and a cold platter of smoked meat from Croatia with cheeses and warm homemade pastries. The Balkan section is the heart of it: cevapcici, raznjici pork skewers, pljeskavica stuffed with sheep's cheese, a mixed grill plate and a grill platter for two with lamb chop, grilled vegetables, ajvar and djuvec rice, best eaten with a shopska salad of tomato, cucumber, pepper and white cheese. For those who prefer something else there is tagliata, rump steak, calf's liver, goulash, schnitzel with homemade spätzle, pasta such as truffle tagliatelle or spaghetti with mussels, and fish from salmon and gratinated pike perch to octopus. Desserts include homemade tiramisu and a lemon tartufo with limoncello. In good weather the large beer garden is open, and the house sits close to the Neckar. The restaurant opens in the evenings and from midday on Sundays and public holidays, closes on Tuesdays, and takes bookings for birthdays, weddings and family celebrations. It suits families and groups who want a hearty, generous dinner after a day on the river or the Neckar cycle path.

Tabakschuppen Café + Weinbar

Rheinstetten · Pizza · Cafe · Vegan

Kraichgaustraße 12, 76287 Rheinstetten

+49 721 82002941

Tabakschuppen combines a cafe, wine bar and gathering place in Forchheim. The building dates from 1938–1939 and was brought back into use after a long period of vacancy. Friends, family and local tradespeople helped with its conversion, and the venue opened in June 2021. Today, its food follows several different themes, with a bread based Vesper available alongside the changing specialties. Cheese fondue is one of those specialties and must be ordered ahead. Pizza uses organic flour, organic tomatoes and fior di latte mozzarella, while another part of the program centers on grilled cheese sandwiches. Breakfast gives homemade baking a prominent role: naturally fermented sourdough bread and croissants made from the house's own puff pastry accompany ingredients such as Parma ham, French organic cheese and homemade jams. The breakfast drinks offer several ways to complete that meal. There are espresso drinks ranging from cappuccino and flat white to americano, together with hot chocolate and freshly squeezed orange juice. Apple juice and spritzers use fruit from the venue's own orchard. The same connection with local fruit extends to its fruit spirits, made with a distiller in Rheinstetten. Tabakschuppen also accommodates birthdays, weddings, christenings and company gatherings. It is an official civil wedding venue, and exclusive celebrations can follow the ceremony. Wine seminars and other culinary events form another part of its activities. Reservations are available, vegan food is offered, dogs are permitted and the premises are accessible without steps.

Café Rose

Eberbach · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Vegan

Neuer Markt 5, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 8075650

Café Rose is run by two sisters, Melanie and Madeline, on the Neuer Markt in the middle of Eberbach. The address has a long story: an inn has stood here since 1823, the Brauerei Gasthaus zur Rose, where the local Rosenbräu beer was first brewed and where travellers, traders and townspeople sat together late into the night. The sisters took up the name and turned the place into a café built around breakfast, cake and an easy afternoon. Breakfast is the main event, sweet or savoury, classic or a little more inventive, and two of the breakfasts come in a vegan version as well. Gluten free rolls are available with any breakfast, and there is usually a gluten free cake in the display, though the house points out that it has only one kitchen. The cake counter is filled every day with homemade cakes, small tarts and pastries. On weekdays from half past eleven to two there is a lunch bowl that changes daily, which can be eaten in, ordered ahead by phone or taken away. In summer there are iced drinks from iced latte to matcha, and white wine, rosé and spritz for the terrace. The sunny terrace sits right on the square. Inside, a play corner with a toy kitchen and books keeps small children busy, dogs on a lead are welcome and get a bowl of water, and a side entrance, a toilet and several tables are accessible for wheelchair users. Tables can be reserved by phone, email, Instagram or the form on the website; requests for the next morning should arrive by six the evening before. Birthdays, christenings and other small celebrations can be held in the café by arrangement. Payment is in cash or by German debit card.

Hotel Karpfen

Eberbach · German home cooking · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood

Alter Markt 1, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 806600

The Karpfen sits on the Alter Markt, the old market square of Eberbach, and is hard to miss: its front is covered in sgraffito pictures telling the history of the town, made in 1934 by the artist Richard Hemberger at the suggestion of the innkeeper of the day, Karl Sittig. The house was built in 1804 and has stayed in the same family ever since. Its forebears ran a large timber business, and the inn grew out of hosting the forest owners who came to trade. Over the decades a guest house was joined to the main building, and in the 1990s the family bought the half timbered house next door, one of the oldest in town and once a guild house. Large parts of both are listed. Today it is a hotel with around fifty rooms and a restaurant, where the kitchen is led by master chef and junior owner Patrick Jung. The cooking is regional and changes with the seasons, and the house names its sources: beef from Hesselbach, asparagus from Schwetzingen, wild garlic picked by the team and fresh trout from Friedrichsdorf. The autumn menu shows the style, with pumpkin soup, clear beef broth with bacon semolina dumplings, homemade Maultaschen, ragout of game and venison medallions from the Eberbach hunt with poppy seed Schupfnudeln, braised veal cheeks, turbot from the grill, and vegetarian dishes such as spinach and ricotta ravioli. Desserts include apple fritters and a vanilla crème brûlée. In summer the terrace spreads out across the market square. Cyclists on the Neckar route are welcome to stay a single night, with a lockable room for bikes. The restaurant opens in the evening early in the week and from midday at weekends.

Beim Bruderbund

Rheinstetten · Mediterranean · German home cooking · Steak and grill

Jakobstraße 3, 76287 Rheinstetten

+49 7242 6171

Beim Bruderbund is a restaurant and beer garden on Jakobstraße in Rheinstetten's Mörsch district. German cooking provides the starting point, with regional dishes and Mediterranean influences extending the selection. The dining room accommodates up to 130 guests, while the beer garden has another hundred seats for eating outside. The business is represented by Zorica Radulovic-Ibrajter, and the team describes more than three decades of experience in hospitality. The menu moves between familiar comfort food and grilled specialties. Maultaschen, the filled pasta associated with southwestern Germany, appear with onions, mushrooms or a baked topping. Schnitzel, pork tenderloin, rump steak and a mixed grill sit alongside fish and seafood preparations. Pasta and salads provide further choices, while a children's section includes smaller schnitzels and simple side dishes. The restaurant also prepares family celebrations and company functions, with the room and arrangements adapted to the occasion. Its garden offers an alternative setting in suitable weather. Food, sauces and accompaniments are prepared by the kitchen, and the house asks guests to allow time for that preparation. Planning ahead is particularly useful here. Reservations are taken by telephone or WhatsApp, and advance booking is required for weekends and public holidays. Guests should receive confirmation of their request. Payment can be made in cash or with an EC card; credit cards are not accepted. The kitchen concentrates on guests dining at the restaurant and does not take orders for collection.

Altes Badhaus

Eberbach · Italian · Pizza · Mediterranean

Lindenplatz 1, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 9456406

The Altes Badhaus stands on the Lindenplatz in the traffic calmed old town of Eberbach, about four and a half kilometres from Allemühl. It is a listed building with half timbering outside and rustic cross vaults inside, and the house describes itself as the oldest bath house in Germany. Today it is a small hotel with a restaurant, run by a team that signs as La Grotta. Guests eat in one of three settings: the Badstube under the old vaulted ceiling, the half timbered Fachwerkstube on the upper floor, or in summer on the town terrace under the lime trees of the square, where the house also serves coffee and cake in the afternoon and keeps drinks going for cyclists and walkers. The kitchen calls its line regional and Mediterranean, and the current menu leans clearly Italian. Starters include beetroot carpaccio with burratina from Bari, anchovies and nuts, vitello tonnato, beef carpaccio and a seafood salad. Among the pasta dishes are orecchiette with meatballs and a beef roulade in the Apulian style, gnocchi with mussels, beans and pepperoncino, tagliatelle allo scoglio and spaghetti carbonara alla Romana. From the grill come a large bistecca with rosemary potatoes, a beef fillet with Barolo jus and fried chanterelles, and bollito di manzo with horseradish; there is also a pork fillet with pretzel dumplings and a wild mushroom sauce. Children can choose a small schnitzel, tortellini or a pinsa. Tables can be reserved online, and the rooms take private parties of up to fifty people, from weddings and birthdays to company dinners. The restaurant also caters events in Eberbach and the surrounding area, and parties outside the regular hours can be arranged with the team.

Konditorei Café Viktoria

Eberbach · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Breakfast

Friedrichstraße 5-9, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 2018

Café Viktoria is the old pastry house of Eberbach, on Friedrichstraße in the town centre, a short drive from Allemühl. It began in 1886, when the master baker Heinrich Strohauer opened a small bakery with a wine room. His son turned it into a café and wine tavern in 1923, the third generation took over as a master confectioner in 1954, and in 1958 the business moved into the building it still occupies. Since 2022 the Camaj family has run the house. The house speciality is the Viktoria von Eberbach torte: fine sponge with a soft cream filling and a note of orange. It goes back to 1962, when Heinrich Strohauer attended a banquet at the Swedish royal court and was taken with an orange dessert served there; a year later one of his tortes was sent by airmail to Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. Around Christmas the house is known for its Viktoria Christstollen, and both can be ordered through the online shop. The café has about a hundred seats inside, a garden café with around sixty more and a street café with about forty, the outdoor ones depending on the weather. Breakfast is served every day except Sunday until two in the afternoon, with bread rolls, a sweet pastry, homemade jams, honey, cold cuts and cheese. On Sundays and public holidays a breakfast buffet runs until one, adding fruit salad, yoghurt, muesli, herb quark, boiled and scrambled eggs, salmon and tomato with mozzarella. Tables can be reserved, and groups of more than ten are catered for by arrangement on the phone. The café is open daily without a closing day, which makes it an easy morning or afternoon stop on any day of a stay.

Beim Jannis

Rheinstetten · Greek · Mediterranean · Fish and seafood

Keplerstraße 101, 76287 Rheinstetten

+49 7242 4790

Beim Jannis serves Greek food at the clubhouse of MSC Taifun Mörsch on Keplerstraße. Its setting combines an air conditioned dining room for up to a hundred people with a spacious beer garden. Couples, families and larger groups are welcome, and the indoor space can accommodate birthdays, family celebrations and company events. Traditional Greek recipes and Mediterranean ingredients shape the kitchen's approach. A meal can begin with several small dishes. The menu includes tzatziki, spicy feta cream, eggplant cream and vine leaves, as well as warm preparations such as breaded sheep's cheese, grilled peppers and baked eggplant slices. Seafood starters include anchovies, prawns cooked with garlic and tomatoes, and grilled octopus with lemon and olive oil. The grill section covers gyros, souvlaki and bifteki stuffed with sheep's cheese. Mixed plates combine different cuts and preparations, while lamb has a section of its own. Fish and seafood choices include salmon, pike perch, calamari and prawns. There are also dishes from the oven, including moussaka and meat baked with Metaxa sauce and cheese. Vegetarian main courses offer more than a side salad: choices include peppers filled with rice, eggplant filled with vegetables, and briam with sheep's cheese. A separate children's selection includes gyros, schnitzel and pasta. Desserts return to Greek flavors with yogurt, honey and walnuts or galaktoboureko, a pastry filled with semolina cream. Tables can be requested directly from the restaurant, including for gatherings that need a larger arrangement.

Lindi’s Schlemmerstube

Thiendorf · German home cooking · Seating outdoors · Takes reservations

Example photo of the cuisine — not photographed at this venue Krisztina Papp / Pexels

Zum Großteich 14, 01561 Thiendorf

+49 3524 823954

Lindi's Schlemmerstube is a family restaurant on Zum Großteich in Thiendorf, centred on freshly prepared German home cooking. The kitchen describes hands-on preparation, from peeling potatoes to cutting vegetables, with predominantly regional products. Traditional, substantial recipes are the starting point, while a changing seasonal card adds variation during the year. The main dining room accommodates up to fifty people and is used for both ordinary meals and private celebrations. There is also a planted beer garden for eating and drinking outdoors in suitable weather. These offer two different settings for the same country-restaurant visit: a table inside with family or friends, or an outdoor meal when the season allows. Alongside the seasonal food menu, the restaurant publishes an ice-cream selection for anyone wanting a sweet finish. It also runs a separate catering service during the cooler part of the year. If you are organising a larger gathering, speak to the team about whether you need a restaurant table, a private celebration or off-site food service, since those are different arrangements. Opening varies by day: Wednesday and Thursday are evening service, with earlier starts from Friday to Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are closed, and the restaurant also closes on the second Sunday of the month and during published holiday periods. Telephone ahead to confirm your date and reserve. The direct address is 14 Zum Großteich, rather than the main Kamenzer Straße through the village.
