2 Best Restaurants in The Rhineland, Germany

Located in the Kurhaus, beside the Spielbank, this chic bistro has a striking art nouveau interior—think painted ceilings, walls crammed with paintings, and a grand piano (live music nightly)—that attracts an upscale clientele and the post-theater crowd. Delicately mixing French and German cooking, the restaurant is particularly known for its (expensive) black Angus steaks, best served with truffle fries. For a good value lunch, come for the two-course menu (including coffee), available from 12 to 3 pm weekdays.

A young crowd gathers here to do what people along the Rhine have done for centuries—talk, drink, and enjoy good company. There's a party every Friday and Saturday with a DJ. Consistently voted one of the best deals in town, this restaurant offers good German beer, tangy cocktails, and a creative mixture of German and French food.
