Honest Swabian cuisine, a curated wine list, and four rooms with character — right in the heart of Ravensburg's old town.
We cook what the season offers — Swabian classics with character, clearly seasoned, honestly plated. Alongside, a wine list we have personally put together piece by piece: from Lake Constance through Lower Austria all the way to Bordeaux. Four rooms that together make a restaurant — and apart, each their own evening.
Whether a long banquet table, an intimate dinner for two, a drink at the bar or sunset over the rooftops of Ravensburg — the Ochsen has the right room for every occasion.
The historic event hall with fireplace, exposed brick walls and open wooden ceilings — up to 80 guests, projector and equipment included. For weddings, conferences, milestone birthdays or simply a long table among friends.
A wooden beamed ceiling, warm light from golden pendant lamps, upholstered chairs, daylight from three sides. Lunch and dinner are served here — the room where Swabian hospitality is at home.
A round wooden bar, high leather stools, crystal chandeliers above — from 6 pm the place for an aperitif before dinner or the last drink of the week. Classic cocktails, honestly mixed.
On the third floor, easily reached by elevator: white linen tablecloths, wooden decking underfoot, views across Ravensburg's old town all the way to the Mehlsack tower. The summer evening you mark on the calendar in spring.
Maultaschen — Swabian filled pasta — that still tastes like grandmother's. Onion roast beef with house-made spätzle. Game in autumn, asparagus in May. We cook what the region has to offer — and add what the market brings in fresh.
For lunch we additionally serve a daily-changing menu of light, protein-rich alternatives — for those who don't want to miss a beat between meeting and gym.
A curated selection we have personally tasted, glass by glass. With a focus on Lake Constance — many of our growers work just a few kilometres away. Joined by classics from Italy, France, Austria and Spain.
A fragrant, lively white cuvée of Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Home in a glass.
A powerful, refined cuvée of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon — Tuscan elegance with depth.
Complex, structured, mineral — a great Champagne with depth and precision. For the special evenings.
From a family gathering in the Stube to a conference in the Schmiede — we host your event, plan the menu and take care of wine and service. Get in touch.
Between meetings and training I need food that carries me through the day. At the Ochsen I get both: the Swabian classics — and every lunch a protein-rich, nutritious alternative. Beautifully plated, every time.“Flo von Helga Entrepreneur · Ravensburg
A selection of recent reviews from our Google profile.
We have now been here twice with friends, and were absolutely delighted both times. The ambiance is truly outstanding. Each course of our goose menu was exquisitely crafted, with its own creative touch. The tiramisu was my personal highlight — the best in 10 years. The wine recommendations are expert, too. Clearly one of the best places in Ravensburg if you want to eat very well."Stephanie Grießer translated from German
We went there for lunch. Great selection of regional dishes. The starter — a salad with goat cheese medallions — was exceptionally good with a superb combination of spices and very reasonably priced. Main course and dessert were also excellent. We will definitely come back."Juliet
Best German lunch for 4 adults and 3 children. We have been to Germany many times — this is the best lunch experience so far in a German restaurant. Very attentive service. Every dish was explained. Feels like going to a Michelin starred restaurant."Tian Gang
