Restaurants
Weindorf
If, as you walk along the Rhine promenade, you're tempted to stop at the Weindorf, an ersatz wine village built in 1925, by all means do. It's four houses built in varying traditional styles surround a flower bedecked central courtyard where you'll dine in good weather. Smaller appetites will be more than satisfied with a plate of cheese, sausage or ham with dark bread. Bigger eaters might enjoy a platter of warm sausages served with dumplings and sauerkraut. More formal dining choices include grilled salmon, grilled pork or beef braised in wine sauce. Prices range from €6-15 with an average of €9. Service is casual but attentive.

Wacht am Rhein
Wacht am Rhein serves superb German and Rheinland cuisine in a choice of three settings overlooking the Rhine and Ehrenbreitstein: the casual Winzerstube (Vintners Room), the terrace, and the more intimate restaurant. If you're in the mood for a fancy dinner, choose the restaurant. Both the food and service are excellent, whether you select a fish dish - like the mixed grill of fish filets and river crabs - or traditional German dishes like Sauerbraten and Tafelspitz (boiled beef with horseradish). Entrees range from €13-25. Cost-conscious travelers will enjoy the traditional dishes of the Winzerstube for less than €12 such as herring with an apple cream sauce (€7); wild game ragout (€1); or marinated beef in raisin sauce with dumplings and red cabbage (€11). Also offered is a more familiar selection of steaks and Schnitzels.
