Fritz's Frau Franzi

$$$$ Fodor's Choice

Chef Benjamin Kriegel earned a Michelin star for his innovative cooking, experimenting with unusual combinations of flavors and textures using mainly locally sourced ingredients. The five- or six-course menu of small plates changes with the seasons; recent highlights included marinated and smoked Bavarian char with borscht aspic, sour cream, and fermented white cabbage.

am Kai

$$$$

While it still retains its Michelin star, this acclaimed restaurant has adopted a more casual approach, offering a pared-down modern tasting menu as well as à la carte dishes with French, Mediterranean, and Asian influences. The harborfront setting remains spectacular.

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.
