The story
Restaurant Meridiano in Regensburg brings together Mediterranean cuisine and Italian cooking through the steady hand of owner and executive chef Lassaad Chaouachi. He guides the kitchen with a focus on balanced flavours and straightforward techniques that honour regional ingredients without unnecessary complexity. This approach recently earned the establishment a single spoon award from the Schlemmer Atlas, a recognition that highlights how consistently the menu delivers quality. The kitchen operates on a quiet principle of balance, allowing carefully sourced produce to lead every dish.
The menu shifts fluidly between coastal classics and hearty grain plates, anchored by pieces like grilled octopus served alongside Venetian veal liver and a fragrant lamb shank couscous. Pasta remains a frequent guest in the dining room, with handmade fagottini and spaghetti mare e verdura prepared using traditional methods and fresh seasonal vegetables. A saffron infused dorade risotto rounds out the selection, demonstrating how the Italian kitchen balances delicate seafood preparations with richer meat courses. Each dish arrives with clear seasoning and careful plating.
Located near the Kumpfmühl Bridge in the Dörnberg district, the dining space opens onto a sunlit courtyard that fills comfortably during warmer months. Wooden tables and neutral tones create a quiet backdrop that keeps attention firmly on the food and conversation. Large windows frame the street outside while interior lighting stays soft enough to encourage unhurried meals. The layout accommodates both solo diners and small groups without ever feeling crowded or rushed.
