Why everyone keeps coming back.

Located in the heart of Stuttgart at Löwen-Markt 8, China Restaurant Lotusblume 斯图加特连花酒楼 stands as a genuine gem for lovers of authentic Chinese cuisine. This cozy eatery brings a taste of Shanghai’s vibrant culinary landscape right to Germany, offering a menu filled with traditional dishes crafted with care and bursting with flavor.

Guests often rave about the signature dishes like the double-breaded chicken and the rich, comforting chicken curry—both of which leave a lasting impression with their perfect balance of spices and textures. The golden crust of the crispy chicken gives way to juicy, tender meat inside, while the curry envelops you in its warm, aromatic sauce, inviting you to savor every bite.

The attentive, though occasionally enthusiastic, service adds a unique character to your visit— as some customers have noted the owner’s spirited interactions, which can feel endearing if you appreciate a lively dining ambiance. Whether seated indoors or on the occasional outdoor seating, one can appreciate the restaurant’s humble charm and genuine hospitality.

What truly sets China Restaurant Lotusblume apart is its sincere commitment to authenticity, going beyond the typical “Chinese restaurant” template to offer dishes that transport you straight to Shanghai’s bustling streets. Regular patrons have described it as the “best Chinese restaurant in town,” praising the genuine taste and friendly service that invite them back time and time again.

For those seeking a Chinese culinary experience marked by true traditional flavors, heartfelt service, and excellent value, Lotusblume is an inviting choice in Stuttgart’s dining scene.

Waren zum zweiten Mal dort. Das Essen ist sehr lecker zu erschwinglich Preisen. Wir hatten zweifach paniertes Hühnchen und ein Hühnchen Curry. Beides sehr lecker. Es war wenig los dafür ist man ungestört. Beim letzten Mal gab es auch ein paar Sitzgelegenheiten draußen. Diesmal waren wir drinnen. Es gibt auch einen Mittagstisch für 11€. Diesen habe ich noch nicht probiert. Die Inhaberin ist sehr freundlich und gibt gute Auskunft zu den Gerichten. Sie betreibt das Restaurant mit ihrem Mann. Man sollte sich vorher über die Öffnungszeiten informieren, wenn man von weiter her kommt.

Jedzenie bardzo dobre, natomiast bardzo mocno natarczywa Pani, która nie bardzo pozwoliła nam się swobodnie zastanowić co chcielibyśmy zamówić.

Das Essen schmeckt richtig richtig lecker. Mann merkt wie Sie mit Liebe kochen und ist einfach köstlich. Die Eigentümerin ist eine nette Dame und kümmert sich echt toll um die Gäste. Sie bringt immer Kekse, Quetschis und Spielzeug für unsere Tochter einfach so wenn sie ungeduldig ist. Wir gehen immer wieder gerne!!!!!
