Excellent food, really fresh and tasty. We chose the jägerschnitzel and the spinatknoedel. We liked that there were some vegetarian options in the menu, which wasn't the case for the other restaurants of the area. The restaurant inside is quite cozy. I highly recommend it.

Perfect place to rest and refuel after completing a stage of the Rheinsteig. Altes Fährhaus is an excellent restaurant located right across from the Maritim hotel. Timely service, coupled with an attentive waitress and surprisingly delicious and complex meals - not to mention the portion sizes.

Typical wine restaurant with special food to go along the different wines. Saumagen is a good specialty

Overall a great restaurant to catch lunch at. Their outdoor seating offers a lovely view of the river. But the food stood out to me; with savory rump-steak; mouthwatering fried potatoes and etc. it’s worth a look.

The food was really good, I had a fish special. Wine list was fine, a mix of local and other German wines. Sitting on the terrace you can look at the river Rhine.
