Scroeder's Wacht am Rhein
Overlooking the Remagen Bridge and Peace Museum, this bright contemporary restaurant departs from the substantial traditional fare in favor of a menu of light, French or Italian-inflected dishes—a savory tart of chanterelle mushrooms, spring onions and cherry tomatoes, roasted monkfish with zucchini "spaghetti" and pesto, wild salmon with fried potatoes, wild mushrooms gnocchi with shaved parmesan. The yummy homemade waffles for dessert are big enough for two. Seating on the river is a big plus in summer.
