The dining room and terrace at this wonderful spot 1.5km north of St Goar feel like being aboard a cruise boat, with close-up, uninterrupted river views. Delicious home cooking spans pickled salmon with quince mousse, to schnitzel with mushroom and Riesling sauce, and red-wine-marinated plums with rosemary-and-vanilla ice cream. Many of its rooms (single/double/family from €70/90/140) also have Rhine views.
