What we stand for

A kitchen with roots,
a house with history.

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.

Four rooms

One house,
four worlds.

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 Kitchen

Swabian.
Seasonal. Honest.

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.

  • House-made spätzle
  • Maultaschen, our way
  • Seasonal game dishes
  • Vegetarian classics
  • Daily lunch menu
  • Selected desserts

Voices from Ravensburg
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.“

★★★★★
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."

★★★★★
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."

★★★★★
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."
