Kitchen & bars · Lindau
Lindau and its surroundings have two one-star kitchens, a third across the Austrian border, and a hotel kitchen that leans on Lake Constance fish. The casino's own restaurant is the one we could not document.

Kitchen verdict
Eat at the hotel for the lake view and a Bodensee fish dish, and go to KARRisma on the island for the big dinner.
The hotel kitchens, under chef Sebastian Fink, hold no Michelin entry. KARRisma (Alter Schulplatz 1, one star, Wednesday to Saturday) is the one in town; VILLINO (Bodolz, one star) and Mangold (Lochau, Austria, one star in the 2026 Austria guide) are outside the island; we did not verify distances or journey times. We could not read the casino restaurant's hours or menu.
Sebastian Fink, born in Roth, trained under Rolf Schlegel in Kernen, worked for Jörg Müller on Sylt and was head chef at Real in Vaduz. He runs both kitchens. Phone +49 8382 9150. No dress code is published.

Modern Italian
The casino's restaurant offers modern Italian cooking with a view of the lake and mountains, and has catered New Year's Eve dinners. Hours, chef and menu could not be verified, because the state casino site needs JavaScript. A 2018 third-party page gave Tuesday to Sunday 11:30–22:00; that is too old to print as current.
