Restaurants with a view of the Rhine

Are you looking for restaurants with a view of the Rhine for your next excursion – preferably a terrace where you can enjoy the aroma of tarte flambée and the fresh river breeze at the same time? Then you’ve come to the right place between Bonn and Koblenz. In this guide, I’ll introduce you to seven insider tips that are guaranteed to be open in 2025. Grab your bike or car, let yourself be enchanted by the view and the aroma – and then secure your overnight stay in our Oberwinter vacation apartment.

Why a view of the Rhine + culinary delights are inseparable

The Middle Rhine has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002 – and you can taste it. Steep vineyards, castle ruins and the majestic river form a film backdrop that inspires chefs and guests alike. Many establishments cooperate with winegrowers from the Ahr and Middle Rhine Valley, which is why you will find Riesling from Bopparder Hamm and Pinot Noir from Marienthal on the menu. When you eat here, you get a taste of home – and a view that no painting could better capture.

Map & arrival – how to plan your pleasure route

All seven terraces are located directly on the Rhine Cycle Route (EuroVelo 15). From Bonn-Beuel to Ehrenbreitstein Fortress, simply follow the blue and white bicycle symbol. If you prefer to travel by bus and train, take the regional train 26 or the MittelrheinBahn RB 48; almost every stop has a landing stage for the KD boat service. Tip: Get off in Remagen, stroll to **[Ferienwohnung Oberwinter](https://ferienwohnung-oberwinter.de/unsere-ferienwohnungen/)** first and start from there relaxed without luggage.

Check out the 7 terraces with a view of the Rhine

#1 | Rolandsbogen – Remagen-Rolandseck
The classic par excellence: the terrace sits at a height of 160 meters directly under the legendary archway. The team serves tarte flambée with a 180-degree panorama and guaranteed sunset. Book online at the weekend – the restaurant confirms extended opening hours on its website (as of May 2025).

#2 | House Oberwinter – Remagen-Oberwinter
Less than five minutes’ walk from our accommodation is the hotel terrace, designed like a Rhine boat promenade. The cuisine surprises with regional tapas such as the “Bönnsche Tapas-Brett” and vegan wild herb salads. Perfect for the first or last evening of your trip.

#3 | Rohmühle – Bonn-Beuel
Industrial chic meets Rhine beach: the former mill has 200 seats right on the water. Craft beer from the Eifel brewery and homemade burgers make it a chilled after-work location. According to a Facebook post from April 8, 2025, the terrace remains open until 11 p.m.

#4 | Gallery terrace at the Rheinhotel Schulz – Unkel
Boutique feeling in a half-timbered town. Under red parasols, you can enjoy fried zander fillets and the postcard panorama as far as the Siebengebirge. The freshly renovated wooden jetty received new lounge furniture in 2024 – tested in April 2025.

#5 | Grafenwerth beer garden – Bad Honnef
The passenger ferry takes you to the island of Grafenwerth in three minutes. Sip Riesling spritzers on green beer benches while canoeists glide past. The operators confirmed the punctual start of the season on Instagram (April 15, 2025).

#6 | Rheinterrasse – Lahnstein
It doesn’t get much further south than Koblenz: the elegantly covered Rheinterrasse is located directly below Lahneck Castle. The menu changes monthly – in May 2025, asparagus creations and wild herb gnocchi beckon. Thanks to the glass balustrade, you have a clear view of Ehrenbreitstein Fortress.

#7 | Hof Rheinblick – Marienthal (Ahr valley)
It may be two kilometers from the Rhine, but the name says it all: at the Gutsausschank, you sit among the vines with a sweeping view of the river. The family business serves 2023 Pinot Noir and offers tarte flambée from the stone oven from Friday to Sunday from 3 pm – confirmed via Facebook update, April 2025.

Rhine romance for the advanced – how to get even more out of the day

If you still have energy after your meal, you can immerse yourself in history and nature directly from the terraces. The famous **RheinBurgenWeg** runs between Unkel and Remagen, with stage 8 leading through vineyards and cherry orchards. Start the morning with a 6-kilometre hike to the Apollinariskirche church, then treat yourself to a vintner’s breakfast at Haus Oberwinter and continue on to Bad Breisig in the afternoon. There, take the ferry to Königswinter and watch from the deck as the light refracts on the slate slopes on the right bank of the Rhine.

And if the weather doesn’t play ball? Many restaurants have glassed-in conservatories or set up warming mushrooms. So even in November, you can enjoy a steaming beetroot cheesecake while wafts of mist drift across the river.

Conclusion

From sophisticated bistros to rustic estate taverns – a culinary variety awaits along the Middle Rhine in 2025 that is only surpassed by the view. Plan your personal **Restaurant Rheinblick** tour, treat yourself to local classics such as Riesling and sauerbraten – and then sleep peacefully in Oberwinter. **Book now** and enjoy the best view twice!
