ALLENDORF AM RHEIN in Oestrich-Winkel

Very nice place/restaurant/beach bar directly on the Rhine

It was a beautiful day with delicious food

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. We were there on a Saturday lunchtime, and there was only one table occupied. We ordered two salmon sandwiches and two drinks. We had to wait a whopping 35 minutes for the sandwiches. The sandwiches were served carelessly on a tin plate without any decoration. In our opinion, €9.50 is way too much for a sandwich with two thin slices of salmon. Conclusion: We don't think paying over €30 for two sandwiches, a glass of beer, and a grape spritzer is justified.

I highly recommend it. A day of vacation in a wonderful island setting. The food was also delicious. 😋

The Allendorf am Rhein beach bar is a great location – right on the water, with a beautiful beach area, and everything decorated in Sylt style. You immediately feel like you're on vacation. The staff was friendly, and the food was good. One small downside: The ordering system, which uses a QR code with a table number, is unfortunately quite chaotic. The waiters often spend a long time looking for the right table, which somewhat dampens the otherwise very positive impression. The restrooms were also not in good condition ☹️ – regular checks would make a big difference. What bothers me most, however, is the fact that you can only pay cashless 🙁 Cash is freedom, a little tip-off for the owners! If you're looking for a special ambiance with a vacation feeling on the Rhine, this is the place for you. However, there's room for improvement in the organization, the restrooms, and payment... 🤷🏼‍♂️

That's all well and good, but I find the inability to pay with cash abysmal. Those responsible should consider where this is leading. Namely, the abolition of cash, and that would be a catastrophe.

We were there on a Saturday lunchtime. The ambiance was lovely, but there were a few drawbacks: only one other table was occupied at that time. We ordered salmon sandwiches. The wait for these two salmon sandwiches was a whopping 35 minutes. They were served rather carelessly on tin plates, without any garnish. We're happy to pay a little more for good, tasty food, but €9.50 for a pre-baked sandwich with two slices of supermarket salmon is, in our opinion, way too much. The food prices overall are very high at this restaurant. We won't be going back.

Very cozy and atmospheric on the Rhine – we always enjoy coming back! 🌿 The atmosphere is truly lovely. One small wish for the future: It would be great if there were a separate smoking area outside, as is common in some European countries, such as Sweden. This way, all guests could enjoy their stay undisturbed.

Conditionally. The drinks arrived quickly, but the food didn't arrive after an hour, despite complaints. Because the service team is divided into tasks rather than tables, no one feels responsible. Mismanagement and a lack of communication between the kitchen and the service team.

A lovely fish snack bar. We sat there and enjoyed the fantastic view of the Rhine. Orders are made digitally by scanning the QR code and ordering online. As far as I could see, only cashless payment is possible – I don't know if there's an alternative. Overall, though, it was a pleasant experience for me.

It still has a lot of potential. Currently, it's somewhere between a "self-service" beer garden and a pseudo-beach club. The food and drink selection is very good and relatively inexpensive. You can order everything online, which is also very quick. However, real service is barely present. The ambiance is unfortunately far from that of a beach club, and even less so on Sylt.

Very nice, good drinks and food (snack bar). Right on the Rhine. You can easily order via QR code.

Allendorf is, of course, a familiar name to a local. Now we're wondering if they've franchised it. We were there years ago and were very satisfied. So, we were looking forward to the evening. However, we were bitterly disappointed. We had a reservation, but were only seated upon request and rather carelessly, and then forgotten. The server, whom we then arranged ourselves, didn't even say hello. When we asked about the ingredients in a drink, the only response was "no idea." The water we ordered wasn't still, but sparkling. Okay, it can happen. A person was forgotten during dinner, and then they were delayed in serving. No apology, nothing. The food was okay, but nothing special. Our table had been rebooked for 7 p.m., but instead of being seated elsewhere, we were frantically shooed away and hurriedly paid. My request for a bill was met with "there's no time for that right now!" Okay... the waitress enjoyed her performance and strutted between the tables like she was on a catwalk, which was embarrassing. What a shame about such a great location. Never again for us.

Love this place. (Relaxing) I think it is best to make a reservation prior to visiting this great little gem. The food is delicious and reasonably priced and the wine is a little bit overpriced but I felt worth it considering the atmosphere, food, and service. Omar and the Allendorf team took great care of us from the moment we arrived until we closed out our tab. My fish and chips were wonderful and my wife enjoyed her veggie burger. The fries that came with both were hot, crispy, and delicious. What made today special was the perfect temperature, the sunshine with a cool breeze, and Omar checking on us from time-to-time making sure we were enjoying our visit. Parking can be tricky, but just plan ahead. We will definitely be back.

Riesling wine and backfisch were great.

Beautiful location right on the Rhine!

First-class service. First-class cuisine. Great place. If you've reserved the boat dock, it shouldn't be occupied. Please keep an eye out for that. However, we were lucky. The boat owner who was moored invited us to a package. Thank you so much for that.

The seating here is truly beautiful, right on the Rhine. Unfortunately, the service isn't particularly attentive. We had to ask three times to get water for our dog. On top of that, the reservation didn't work out properly.

We had reserved a table, which was assigned to us. We had to wait forever for service. Our order was taken, and then nothing happened. Then the food and drinks all arrived together; the service was rather odd. My fish burger was only lukewarm. Bottom line: I don't need that anymore.

Great for relaxing. Reserving a table is recommended. The herring rolls are delicious.

The ambiance is nice, but even for dinner, you sit on wooden benches without backrests. It's not suitable for a longer, relaxed gathering. We ordered via QR code, and the food arrived in what felt like five minutes. We didn't have any drinks. The value for money isn't right in our opinion; the steakburger, for example, consisted of a bun and a thoroughly cooked slice of meat (for almost €20).

My wife and I were forced to stop at this restaurant because our reservation from the previous day at the Allendorf wine bar in the Brentanohaus was canceled. They returned our confirmation email but didn't inform us separately. Customer service is a different story. The staff at Allendorf am Rhein were attentive, and getting a seat was no problem despite having reserved tables. Because many cyclists stopped here, along with guests arriving by car and on foot, the atmosphere was very lively. No matter, the main thing is that something decent ends up on the plate. We opted for two steakburgers (€18.50 each) with French fries because we don't care much for fish dishes in warm weather, and the menu is very fish-heavy. Let's start with the good stuff: the fries were crispy and not greasy, so they were good. The steakburger, however, needs some work and was disappointing for the price. What was supposed to represent the "beef steaks" had been reduced to a mass through the overuse of a meat steak maker, which could be identified as meat. However, the use of too many spices meant that there was no meat flavor, let alone beef. However, the spices remained on the tongue for hours afterward. The amount of meat was also too small, in my opinion, and it was more reminiscent of a thickly sliced carpaccio than a "beef steak." Therefore, the "steakburger" cannot be recommended in its current form. Conclusion: If you're looking for refreshment and don't have high expectations, this is the place for you.

Service very slow, reminded three times that you wanted to pay, wine too expensive.

My favorite restaurant with a beautiful view of the Rhine.

We used to enjoy the Allendorf restaurant. Since last year, they've only accepted card payments. We won't be doing that anymore. I want to pay how I choose. Furthermore, the service isn't what it used to be, and at these prices, you'd expect more. The food is nothing special. The location is great, but unfortunately, it's nothing more.

A truly great location, and reasonable prices. The wine selection could be a bit larger, and the staff is excellent. Friendly, on the ball, and sales-oriented... I was extremely satisfied with everything.

Very nicely designed location. Ordering via QR code takes a bit of getting used to. Thanks to Kaya for making our evening even more special 😊👍🏻

We always enjoy coming back; it's like a little piece of vacation. Wonderful location right on the Rhine. There's plenty of parking. The staff are all very friendly. Ordering online using a QR code means you get your drinks very quickly. We always got a table, even without a reservation. Payment is cashless, but that's not uncommon these days.

The prices are absolutely underground, if you want to burn your money you are in good hands here 12 euros for a glass of wine

If only the food were like the naturally tasteful floral arrangements! Overpriced, average goods...

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and its location right on the water – including a boat dock – is definitely a plus. Unfortunately, this made our visit all the more disappointing. The waitress's very first comment was: "Unfortunately, we're out of mint today." This is incomprehensible to me when it comes to a homemade lemonade that's advertised with mint. How can you offer something like that and then not be prepared accordingly? It just seems poorly planned. The rest of the service was also disappointing: unfriendly, stressed, and the guest didn't feel welcome or valued at all. Taking the order took about 20 minutes, and paying took another 20 to 30 minutes. Given the overall rather high prices, this is unacceptable to me. I had heard a lot of good things about the restaurant, but today I was unfortunately disappointed. What a shame – the ambiance could have been much better.

We've been there several times. It's a beach bar like you'd find on the North Sea or Baltic Sea. The food and wine are top-notch. The atmosphere is fantastic... as a northerner, I feel a bit at home. It's a shame that after 9 p.m. they only serve simple finger food.

I went here twice on my trip to the area. It’s ok, a little over priced and food is pretty good, but great location. Staff can be hit or miss as far as service goes.

Yes, we had a delicious meal, but what surprised me most was the open kitchen and the chefs, who worked with a smile and joy in their work. An excellent team and outstanding service, but you have to make a reservation to eat there.

Very cool location, very chilled...

Great location & great offer! Unfortunately, we didn't catch the best day in terms of service – we waited an hour for our food, and the staff's organization was rather chaotic, which was evident in the atmosphere.

THE location on the Rhine! Upscale but reasonable prices. Excellent food and drinks. Parking is also possible if you have brains (on the other side of the highway and an underpass with a short walk; DO NOT walk across the highway without brains). Highly recommended!

A beautiful little place very idyllically situated on the Rhine

A fantastic location with spectacular views of the countryside and the Rhine. We enjoyed the dawning evening with the slightly reddish sky and felt like we were on vacation. The service was friendly, the menu beautifully designed, and the cool branding on the glasses was a great touch. The food, however, was just okay—nothing more, nothing less. What surprised us, however, and sparked many jokes and conversations in the days that followed, were sardines with bread for 12 euros—which turned out to be a can of sardines with three slices of baguette. 😅

As we all know, three things matter when it comes to restaurants: location, location, location. It's a great place to linger. Otherwise, it's extremely expensive, the food is more like a snack bar, and the crowd is a bit posh. Service is extremely friendly and fast...

Very nice location on the Rhine, top service and amazing food 🤗

A very nice ambiance with a view of the Rhine. The service was okay. Unfortunately, the food wasn't that tasty...but we would come again for a drink and to enjoy the beautiful ambiance.

The location is truly fantastic; there's no other comparable restaurant right on the Rhine, stylishly decorated, but the food was disappointing: kibbeling from a frozen bag, the mayo had obviously been sitting in the jar for hours; it had already set on top, the fries were cold, the herring came with cranberries (???), the accompanying potatoes were cold, the salad was dressed with sour sauce, boringly sour, not particularly clever. The service was practically nonexistent. You can order online from your table, but since everyone around us was asking for their orders and going to the counter to pay (because there are service staff, but they can't be persuaded to come to the table), you're really unsure whether the online order will work... We got it at the same time, but some of it was cold. So I can't understand the good reviews for the food. Boring lounge music, too loud (if the music were better, then it could be a bit louder...)

In good weather you should definitely reserve. After 45 minutes we didn't feel like it and left. The service has improved compared to last year. Thanks to the possibility to place an order online, it is definitely faster than before. The food is okay but quite expensive. Important here is only possible card payment, cash is not accepted. The location is a dream. You sit right on the water, when holiday feeling comes up.

Great view, really good food—and special praise to Kaya from the service department! It couldn't be better!

Beautifully situated overlooking the Rhine tributary. There are various seating and dining options (uncovered at the water's edge, benches under umbrellas, lounge areas, or deckchairs on the sand) – as well as beach chairs. The "Kibbelinge with fries" are very good, as is the "Cheesecake in a glass." The option to reserve a table online is also a good option. And if you arrive by car, there are several parking spaces right there.

A great destination right on the Rhine with a beach bar feel, good food (especially fish dishes), and house wine. The playground is ideal for families. Great views, but service can be slow at times and prices are rather high. Only card payments are accepted. Advance reservations are recommended.

One of the most beautiful places in the Rheingau! We love it here! Unfortunately, the service ruins much of the great atmosphere... As soon as it's busy, the service staff are unfortunately completely overwhelmed and unfriendly.

Nice ambience, over-salted food, and a listless waitress who rolled her eyes and sighed when ordering.

Cash isn't accepted. You have to pay by card. That's very annoying. The location on the Rhine and the ambiance are very nice. My apricot cheesecake was mediocre. The cake was too hard/dense and there was very little fruit in it. Even though the background music was quiet, the annoying bass constantly blared from the speakers. Boom, boom, boom.

Yes..view of the Rhine..good wine and food

I was at Allendorf recently and bought three bottles of red wine called "Illusion." What can I say, it was incredibly delicious! The taste was truly something special. The service was also excellent; I received very friendly and competent advice. I would especially like to thank the lady there; she was super warm and helpful. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend it! 🍷

The ambiance is very nice. Unfortunately, the tuna was completely overcooked. We weren't asked if we wanted anything else to drink. Unfortunately, we also noticed some inconsistencies in the service.

My recommendation for a beach club in the central Rhine Valley. Wine directly from the winery. The food is upscale. Reservations are recommended.

The food could be better, but the wines are generally very good. A nice, relaxed place.

A super nice atmosphere and especially great with kids! A climbing wall, a huge sandbox with toys, and a beach chair—the kids were in seventh heaven. And the food and wine were excellent, too!

A very nice beach bar where you can enjoy delicious food and drinks. If the weather is nice, you should make a reservation to get a nice spot.

It was great there...the junior boss was really nice...we took part in his "color tour"...very impressive...unfortunately we didn't have time to eat there anymore... Browsed in the great shop for too long and tried and bought a number of wines 👌😜

I made a reservation 2 months ago and yesterday I received an email that, without any further clarification, my reservation for 24-05-2025 is cancelled. Customer service is not their strongest asset it seems.

As always, great wine and good food with a holiday flair right on the water

Delicious wines, good accompanying food, great service, beautiful view of the Rhine! An all-round great stay near Allendorf am Rhein! Thank you for that! I didn't make a reservation and luckily still managed to get a seat in the shade. Next time (will definitely come) will be reserved!

A really nice place with good food and the best wine. My personal recommendation: Red Riesling

No oysters unfortunately 🥲. Indian waiter was not so professional, his colleague was in front of us... She was halfway through our order and he chased her away. That's why 3 stars for service.

A very nice place to enjoy. Whether just wine or food, both are very good. The view of the Rhine is very beautiful. The benches are rather uncomfortable, but okay. Ordering has now been made much easier with the QR code. This means that waiting times have been optimized. The drinks and food are very tasty. The staff very nice. Sometimes unfortunately arrogant, but most of them very polite. We were able to sit there and enjoy until late in the evening. Thank you for that! We would definitely like to come back.

Beginning very friendly food super delicious

The restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately, our visit was still disappointing - not because of the food or the atmosphere, but because of the way we treated guests. Although the staff generally seemed friendly, we had the feeling that they were heavily selected. Since we didn't have a reservation, we got there early, but were immediately informed that our stay was only possible until 12:30 p.m. We were also not allowed to freely choose our seats. When we asked whether we could sit in one of the beach chairs or loungers, we were refused with reference to alleged reservations. We then took a seat near the reception - and were able to clearly observe and hear how differently guests were treated. Some got places on the coveted beach loungers straight away - despite also not having a reservation - while others were put off waiting or turned away completely. The choice seemed to have less to do with availability and more to do with the appearance or status of the guests. What was particularly irritating was that all the beach chairs remained empty until we left at 12:30 p.m. This impression of conscious selection leaves a bitter aftertaste in an otherwise beautiful setting.

Very nice place with a great playground for children. Food is also good and location is very nice!

It's a shame that kibbeling uses the inexpensive pollack instead of cod, given the price you can definitely expect cod, so it's just a fake kibbeling

Great atmosphere. Very friendly staff. And great wine :) Christoph at reception is caring and very nice.

A restaurant with a nice view and the weather is nice so there are a lot of customers. The food is good and the local wine is the best.

We called today at 7:50 p.m. and asked if we could get a table and something to eat at 8:15 p.m. The waiter then said in a slightly irritated tone that the kitchen was only open until 8:30 p.m. We then hurried and were at the restaurant at 8:05 p.m. They said there we wouldn't get anything to eat anymore... It's a real shame, especially since we rushed!

Beautiful here April 30, 2023 Had a very tasty meal today 5.4.24 Always very nice here 9.3.25 Finally weather to come here again

Very nicely located directly on the banks of the Rhine. There are free parking spaces available. For many guests there is an alternative parking space in Winkel directly on the other side of the main road with an underpass to the banks of the Rhine. Beautiful outdoor area with children's entertainment. Delicious small, very tasty dishes and matching wines. Very friendly service team. Full sun but there are also parasols available. I was very satisfied.

Very nice restaurant, you can end the evening really well when the weather is nice, nice staff and a great view of the Rhine If the weather is good, a reservation makes sense 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

What a mess! We were assigned a seat by the waitress - ordered it - waited more than an hour for the waitress - then when we asked, we (4 people) were told by an extremely unfriendly employee with a cold smile: "You haven't made a reservation - then there's nothing!!" Unfortunately I can't give zero points! As a regular guest, I can only hope that this arrogance doesn't become normal at Allendorfs!!

Waited half an hour, no service, no friendliness from the staff. Staff apparently at odds with each other. Simply underground. I won't come here anymore.

Because we didn't make a reservation, we were offered a place on the wall. Since we wanted something to eat, we didn't think it was that great. Then, mercifully, we were able to sit inside. We were ignored for quite a long time. After 20 minutes a nice person asked us if we were happy with everything. Then I said that we would like to order something. After ordering we were told that the food was taking longer. I then asked if it could take an hour. I couldn't get an answer. Then we left again. Because we were hungry. I find the place very arrogant and overrated. Nobody sees me there anymore.

No, service and treatment of guests is subpar.

Our favorite place. Best fish in the area. Mussels in particular are incredibly good. We come there often and enjoy it. Ideal for families with children.

Great, original location with an attentive young team and delicious fish, table reservation for 3 hours, definitely even nicer in summer

We had a wonderful day with awesome food and lovely servers. Absolutely can't wait to go back.

Great location👍👏fun, committed team. Food and drinks are great! 👍👏

Small menu, good quality, nice location right on the water. I always enjoy coming here. Only the toilets are rather unpleasant.

Unique location, friendly service, fast service

A really nice location. Very cozy, the food was very good. Didn't think there would be a lot of fish. It stands out completely from the surrounding locations. Class. The wine and also the food were very good. Always happy to come back.

Located directly on the banks of the Rhine and unusual for the Rheingau, location with beach flair and more of a seaside coastal atmosphere, very good service

Super friendly staff, the food is of very good quality, at fair prices. Also great wines. You should definitely visit this restaurant if you are in the Rheingau.

It's a wonderful place to sit directly on the Rhine. Real holiday feeling

New Germany Restaurant, First Branch, Al-Naeem Roundabout, north of Dar Al-Shifa Hospital

Just beautiful. Good and friendly service, delicious food and an ambience that easily puts you in the holiday mood🤗

We were very disappointed :( we made an order and waited for it for more than an hour. We had to ask the waiter several times when the order would be available. And in the end, we were told that something was messed up and our order would not be available. Terrible service and work of the staff.

Very nicely located on the Rhine, recommended!

Beautiful atmosphere at Rhein river with a great view, lovely food and very good vino!

When the weather is nice, it's definitely worth a visit, the seating is simply wonderful and the ambience is something different and definitely special.

Beautiful location directly on the Rhine. Good wine and some delicious fish dishes.

A super relaxed atmosphere that invites you to linger and enjoy. A short vacation like on the beach in Holland, but right on the Rhine with uncomplicated, relaxed staff who are very attentive, friendly and approachable. Fun factor included! Allendorf am Rhein offers very good cuisine that stands out from the Hessian-influenced Rheingau thanks to both its Mediterranean and Nordic charm, including its own wine.

Delicious food & drink in an incomparable environment… experience is wonderful!!! ❤️

We've known Allendorfs for a long time but I have to admit that "buying" 5 star reviews for free schnapps is really unbelievable. We mainly come here because of the great atmosphere and enjoy the wine but don't eat there ourselves. But I find it impossible to notice how several guests were “asked” for a review. For me that explains the many positive reviews and I'm sorry but after the Brentanohaus that was it for us here too. Everyone is aware of how difficult it is to find good staff, but retrained staff with such tasks is not an option for us. Thank you, we continue to buy the wines but no longer consume them on site. greeting Stephen.

Came past here by chance on a bike ride. There were no free tables, we were allowed to sit down with a nice family. Tried a few nice wines and couldn't resist the Kibbelings (?). Of course, the great weather also played its part in making it an all-round successful afternoon for us. We'd love to come back, next time with a reservation.

New favorite place! It's really nice here. The staff is super friendly. Drinks and food are also good. Such a great atmosphere and there is a playground for children. We would love to come back the next time we vacation in the area.
