Stopped for dine in and I would definitely recommend their food.. perfection! the service and the ambience was amazing.. danke 👏🏽 Started with this Alken bubble Riesling Sekt 🥂 and a Fried fresh chanterelles with a light salad bacon and herbs 👌🏽 Pork tenderloins with Riesling mustard sauce with grapes on colorful noodles and leaf salads was even better 👌🏽 Ended with a Vanilla ice cream with marinated grapes in Riesling and whipped cream 👌🏽
Just a very nice restaurant, style is lovely, personal is really friendly (speaks English) and the food was FANTASTIC! I love how they take more simple dishes but execute them perfectly.
Good food. Great wine. Nice atmosphere. I liked the recommended items from the menu. Would visit again.
Very friendly and warm welcome! The food was exquisit! Highly recommended! Cappuccino was very good also
great service, absolutely reccomendable kitchen! Check it out!
Excellent food and wine, perfect location, friendly service
(Translated by Google) We had reserved a table in advance and received a very warm welcome. The menu is varied, so there was truly something for every taste. The food was excellently prepared, very tasty, and the portions were absolutely generous. We would particularly like to highlight the service: the waiters were quick, attentive, and always friendly. The restaurant's prices are also very fair – the value for money is definitely there. We had an all-around wonderful evening and would gladly return! (Original) Wir hatten im Vorfeld einen Tisch reserviert und wurden sehr herzlich empfangen. Die Speisekarte ist abwechslungsreich, sodass wirklich für jeden Geschmack etwas dabei war. Das Essen war hervorragend zubereitet, sehr lecker und die Portionen waren absolut großzügig. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den Service: die Bedienung war schnell, aufmerksam und dabei stets freundlich. Auch preislich ist das Restaurant sehr fair – hier stimmt das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis auf jeden Fall. Wir haben einen rundum schönen Abend verbracht und kommen gerne wieder!

1,5 h relaxing . We have had beautiful weather, that was nice and as we have been boarding at the first stop ,we still could choose seats . Staff is very friendly.
(Translated by Google) This boat trip is fun and worth it. You see a lot of the environment in a way that otherwise remains invisible. The service was very nice and attentive. In addition, they were very nice with the chats. The announcer could have done much better with better and more explanation. All in all worth it. Very tight in kobelenz. (Original) Deze boottocht is leuk en de moeite waard. Je ziet veel van de omgeving op een manier die anders onzichtbaar blijft. De bediening was erg aardig en lette goed op. Daarnaast waren ze erg leuk met de gemaakte praatjes. De omroeper had veel beter gemogen met betere en meer uitleg. Al met al de moeite waard. Wel erg krap in kobelenz.
(Translated by Google) Five of us girls drove from Alken to Cochem and back. We were fortunate enough to have beautiful weather, so we thoroughly enjoyed the trip. We also enjoyed the fantastic staff, especially our waitress Ms. Meyer—I'm sorry I forgot her first name—who was super friendly and attentive. (Original) Wir sind mit 5 Mädels von Alken nach Cochem und wieder zurück gefahren. Wir hatten glücklicherweise super schönes Wetter und haben daher die Fahrt sehr genossen. Unter anderem aber durch die tollen Mitarbeiter, insbesondere unserer Servicekraft Frau Meyer - Vorname ist mir leider entfallen, welche super freundlich und aufmerksam ist.
(Translated by Google) Was on this ship as a bus driver 🚌 with 48 people on board for 2 1/2 hours 🚢 great price 🥇 performance ratio. The entire crew was super friendly and helpful. Funny service that creates a good atmosphere. Coffee and cake 🍰 were totally ok. Can only be recommended. I'm going there three more times this year and I'm looking forward to it. There is nothing better than bringing satisfied bus passengers home. This beautiful boat trip is partly involved. Thank you 🙏 to the crew (Original) War als Busfahrer 🚌 mit 48 Personen an Bord 2 1/2 Stunden auf diesem Schiff 🚢 super Preis 🥇 Leistung Verhältnis. Ganze Besatzung super freundlich und auch behilflich. Lustige Bedienung die für Stimmung sorgt. Kaffee und Kuchen 🍰 waren voll ok. Kann man nur weiter empfehlen. Ich fahre dieses Jahr noch 3 mal dorthin und freue mich drauf. Es gibt nicht schöneres, wie zufriedene Busgäste nach Hause zu bringen. Dafür ist teilweise diese schöne Schifffahrt mit dran beteiligt. Dankeschön 🙏 an die Besatzung
(Translated by Google) Very nice trip to Cochem. The ship is very clean and the service very friendly. The lockage in the lock is also nice to experience. We would like to come again. (Original) Erg leuke tocht gemaakt naar Cochem. Het schip is heel schoon en de bediening erg vriendelijk. Het schutten in de sluis is ook leuk om mee te maken. We komen graag nog eens.
(Translated by Google) Outside seating very tight. Thought this trip wasn't that great. Stood at/in the locks for up to an hour. I've actually had nicer boat trips. (Original) Ausensitz sehr eng. Fand diese Fahrt, jetzt nicht so toll. Standen bis zu einer Stunde an/in den Schleusen. Hatte tatsächlich schon schönere Bootsfahrten.
(Translated by Google) + Experienced a nice evening tour with music. + Friendly employees + Fair prices on board - Too much pop music - We had to wait 1.5 hours for our drinks when others had already ordered for the third time 😡 that was a bit nasty given the heat. I don't think they should have billed us either.... But oh well - €20 is a steep price for the entire trip (Original) + Nette Abendrundfahrt mit Musik erlebt. + Freundliche Mitarbeiter/innen + Faire Preise an Bord - Zuuuuuuu viel Schlagermusik - Wir mussten 1,5 Std auf unsere Getränke warten, wo andere schon das dritte Mal bestellt hatten 😡 das war bei der Wärme etwas fies. Hätte man auch uns nicht abrechnen müssen, finde ich.... Aber nun ja - 20€ ist schon ein stolzer Preis für die gesamte Fahrt
(Translated by Google) Beautiful, well-maintained ship with friendly staff and a fantastic atmosphere on board. The prices are very affordable. There is a large selection of drinks on board such as wine or cocktails, and there are also small dishes such as tarte flambée or nachos. Family-run business where price-performance and quality are right. Big praise to the entire team, we would love to come back. (Original) Schönes gepflegtes Schiff mit freundlichem Personal und fantastischer Atmosphäre an Bord. Die Preise sind sehr günstig gestaltet. An Bord gibt es eine große Auswahl an Getränken wie z.B.Wein oder Cocktails, kleine Gerichte wie Flammkuchen oder Nachos gibt es auch. Familiengeführter Betrieb bei dem Preis-Leistung und Qualität stimmen. Großes Lob an das gesamte Team, wir kommen gerne wieder.
