Die Schwabbel in Walluf

"SCHWABBEL" is a small, cozy spot located directly on the Rhine. A cool houseboat with indoor seating and, in good weather, outdoor seating. A relaxed atmosphere with a view of the Rhine and the small sailboat dock next door. Very pleasant and friendly staff. Moderate prices and good quality. Delicious food, with a good selection on the menu, even for those with a small appetite. Free parking is available nearby on the street. A maximum of 3-5 minutes' walk away.

We were just eating, cozy atmosphere, very friendly service and great food, I can only recommend it

Friendly and quick service, food ok

Well, service was unfriendly, but after we asked politely but firmly for the receipt,

We rented the Schwabbel for my mother's 70th birthday and were absolutely thrilled! 🎉 The food was outstanding – from the snacks to the main course, everything was fresh, delicious, and perfectly presented. The decor and the overall atmosphere were a perfect fit for the occasion and created a wonderful atmosphere. We'd especially like to highlight the staff: always friendly, attentive, and always on hand, without being intrusive. Even the manager personally looked after us and made sure everything ran smoothly. Whether the food, service, or ambiance – everything was truly first-class. We highly recommend the Schwabbel and thank you for an unforgettable evening! 🙌

On average, a meal costs €13-20. Goulash soup, currywurst, small salad, and three wine spritzers cost €33. Sorry, but pre-baked rolls? The soup could have been from a can. Last time, they ran out of salads at 5 p.m. So, any dish with salad is unavailable. Too expensive for the quality.

If you're looking for a nice location and a drink, I can absolutely recommend this place. Unfortunately, everything else is lacking. With a small order, half of it was wrong, and the service was very young and unprofessional. We ordered three salmon rolls, but only two arrived after about 45 minutes. Even with the busy schedule, this is unexplainable. Then we had to wait another 30 minutes for the last one.

An ugly new metal box is supposed to replace the rustic Schwabbel...

Friendly service...nice seating by the Rhine!

Unfortunately, the service was completely overwhelmed. We went to the Schwabbel for dinner this evening, very happy to have gotten a table in the Rheingau on a Tuesday. Unfortunately, we were celebrating too soon. My friend's meal came quite quickly, but mine didn't arrive at all. After the people at the table who arrived after us received theirs, I canceled my order and went home hungry. Hardly an apology... What a pity.

The Schwabbel is always a super cozy place for delicious traditional food and drinks. Located directly on the Rhine, it has a houseboat atmosphere. It's a great place for cyclists, etc.

Food good but pricey, service super nice

Price / performance absolutely great, we will be back

Great location on the Rhine. Very friendly staff, reasonable prices, and delicious food. In summer, you can sit under umbrellas on the banks of the Rhine or in the Schwabbel itself (rustic and cozy).

The beer was cold and tasty. The staff was friendly.

Down-to-earth and rustic, located directly on the water

I like going to Schwabbel. The bratwurst tasted fantastic, and if you want to drink beer instead of wine—there's a wine tasting stand next door—this is the place to go.

Typical German service; just polute enough nit to be called rude. However, the food was very tasty and the atmosphere was charming.

After a walk, this is always a great place to stop for a delicious cocktail. Since drinks are also available to go, you can sit on the adjacent wall along the Rhine. The staff is always friendly, even when it's busy.

Very tasty food and great wines.

I like it there, it's like a day on vacation

You can sit nicely and eat very well, nice staff will come back!

Beautiful outdoor terrace, delicious offerings, good service

On Sunday we were here with friends in the restaurant, Here you can hear Hessian babble, on the beach by the Rhine, that's where it's located “WABBEL”. We have sat here many times, you can eat well and cheaply here. As a Hesse, I eat cheerfully, up and down the menu. As a France fan and also a gourmet, I find them “flame cake” schee. Our friend 'satisfies his hunger' with a game meatball. Then he said, "What you don't do, today's food," that wasn't good, THAT WAS JUST A PLEASURE that I have to eat here more often. Also the wine, Is recommended, it was a day for our souls. Aries comes to me, that's clear, the SCHWABBEL, it's wonderful.

Super cozy location, great service, fair prices.

Great atmosphere, we were there last night and repeated the visit again today. The food is very tasty and the wines are really great. Highly recommended, if we come here again, we'll always be happy to do so.

Great location on the banks of the Rhine, good service and good food

Super nice staff even though it was full. Maultaschen, schnitzel are great. There is also some knocking.

Always our place of choice to end a trip to the Rheingau in an atmospheric way. Prices are fair and the food doesn't really matter what you order. It's always delicious. What's also pleasing is that new dishes regularly find their way into the selection.

This restaurant is highly recommended! The ambience is something very special and just makes you feel good! The food is prepared very lovingly and the staff is always friendly and accommodating!

The old houseboat simply has a rustic charm. Food top Atmosphere cozy, familiar. It remains to be seen whether the “new” Schwabbel will hold up, we will definitely be back 😍👍

Absolutely recommended. Great location. Place to be

Great food and drink and ambience.

I can't say anything negative. We were warmly welcomed and served. The food was very, very good. Prices are really okay.

Yesterday we spontaneously came across this wonderful boathouse while walking with our dog. Because of this cold and wet weather, we were always thinking about a nice mulled wine and something nice to eat. I went in and asked if a peaceful female dog was allowed, which was answered as completely ok. When we went in together, a bowl of water was brought for our dog and we were generally greeted in a friendly manner. All in all it is very cozy, clean and a feeling of comfort is what you get there. Friendliness and reliability are also no problem. Even lovers of wine, cocktails or German cuisine won't miss out here The mulled wine was damn tasty both for me and for my girlfriend with alcohol, and the food, for her the vegan and for me the normal tarte flambée, was damn tasty. In terms of price, it was topped again, because for the atmosphere, the selection of food and drinks, the service and more, we absolutely couldn't complain at just €28 for 2 tarte flambées and 2 mulled wine. We are absolutely happy and now come more often. Thanks for everything😍🤗

Very nice little ship restaurant with friendly staff and delicious food. The atmosphere is great, small but cozy! It should definitely be reserved. The places are rare. 🥰

When the weather is nice, drinks are top go 🍷🍹🍺

Always beautiful. Great restaurant and great service. We felt very comfortable.

I celebrated my 60th birthday in Schwabbel. Everything was perfect and the guests felt comfortable with me 🤩 Many thanks to the kitchen crew for the delicious food and thanks to the friendly Schwabbel team for the great service!

I think it's great here. Great Sunday. Thank you very much

We celebrated a big birthday as a closed group in Schwabbel. From the cocktail reception to the service and the food, everything was top. Nice atmosphere in a beautiful location on the Rhine promenade - highly recommended 👍🏼

The food was ok. The location is very nice. Our service was not good, very impersonal, unfriendly, in summary really not good. I've never left a tip in my life, but I did today because I wasn't happy at all. It's a shame actually, because we came to possibly celebrate a very nice event there next year.

Quaint, a bit cramped but great ambience. Advance registration is recommended.

Very nicely located under trees on the bank. We tried all 4 types of tarte flambée👍

A cute place! The service was great, but we only had a drink!

Very tasty food and drinks. Ambience great, service was great! We'd love to come back!

It is a very nice location directly on the Rhine. The service was extremely attentive and very nice. We order a schnitzel with potato salad and meatloaf with fried eggs and potato salad. The potato salad is probably homemade and tastes very good. The meatloaf with the fried egg was very tasty. The schnitzel was a complete disaster, the breading was partially burnt and the breading came off on the underside of the schnitzel because it was still soggy. The meat had a strange taste and was not crispy at all, but very tough. I also told the waitress who wanted to tell the chef. My conclusion: I will never eat schnitzel there again in my entire life.

Friendly service, great location, nice wine list and delicious food. Highly recommended! For families with children there is a small (play) area right next door.

Houseboat directly on the Rhine. Good food and good wine.

Was just ignored at the grill outside when ordering for whatever reason despite making eye contact. Apparently they had been waiting for a group of acquaintances to let them in. Obviously closed due to wealth.

Well, when the weather is nice it's easy to post positively. We sat outside and were totally satisfied. The service is nice and attentive and the food is really good. And every now and then a sailing ship passes by.

Sorry, aber das Essen ist nicht besonders gut. Hockedotz also Frikadelle war am Boden ca. 1 cm dick verbrannt und nicht essbar. Außerdem sehr scharf. Aber, das ist ja noch Geschmackssache. Auf Anfrage, ob es geschmeckt hat, haben wir es bemängelt. Keine Reaktion. Der Weißwein trocken, war warm. Und das bei einer Außentemperatur von 28 Grad. Auf Anfrage bekamen wir dann Eiswürfel die uns den Wein zwar gekühlt haben, aber dann hatten wir eine Schorle. Ist ja nicht der Sinn der Sache. Auf Anfrage warum, sie hätten Logistikprobleme. Flammkuchen war außen schon sehr verbrannt. Bedienungen waren freundlich. Aber wir hätten schon erwartet, das bei den ganzen Mängeln, doch wenigstens eine kleine Aufmerksamkeit gekommen wäre. Zum was trinken, können wir es empfehlen.

Unfortunately, we haven't eaten so badly in a long time. Meatloaf was about 1 cm burnt at the bottom and was not edible. Also very spicy, but that's still a matter of taste. When asked if it tasted good, we complained. But without reaction. White wine was way too warm. When we complained we didn't get cold wine Ice cubes. So we drank a spritzer. Tarte flambée was very burnt on all edges. Not edible. Nice to sit and have a drink. We won't eat there again.

Wir sind regelmäßig dort und immer wieder gerne..wir fühlen uns gut aufgehoben. Das Essen ist lecker, der Service ebenso..wie gesagt immer wieder gerne dort. Eine kleine Auszeit vom Alltag

We went to Schwabbel for the first time today and I have to say we were thrilled. We had delicious wine, very tasty food and top service. We will be back definitely.

Here you can find the best draft Grevenstein beer ever. The food also has to be good, because it is always very busy here. Lots of friendly service staff complete the picture. Reservation needed.

I was there today as part of a company party. It took forever for our drink orders to be taken as well as the food. Some of the first people were already finished eating when the others at the table only got their food. The service staff barely smiled on the lips, took forever for billing and, as I said, took forever for drinks and food service. A group at the table next to us left after waiting for over an hour for the bill. If you wanted a drink in between you had to be lucky that the waitress would notice you. Food was out at 7:30 p.m. as were some drinks. No “Is there anything else I can do for you?” / "Is everything okay?"/"Would you like something else to drink?" etc. The food was partly cold and ready to eat warmed up (or so it seemed). I, as well as some of my colleagues, were very disappointed. We won't be coming back any time soon.

A nice restaurant on a boat with a nice garden. Civilian prices. It's really nice to sit in

Very fast service, cozy under an old oak tree. Good food, good price-performance ratio.

Very friendly staff and nice to sit outside when the weather is nice. Personally, inside would be too narrow and stuffy for me. Eat

Very nice location with good food, delicious wine and nice staff..is recommended

Waterfront restaurant serving good wine and local food. You can relax and unwind here. The staff is in a good mood and very quick.

Great café in and in front of the boathouse..we really enjoyed the atmosphere

Hier sitze ich viel lieber im Restaurant-Boot, was dort im Rhein vor Anker liegt, als draußen unter den Kastanien. Denn der Innenraum des Restaurants ist sehr maritim und gemütlich eingerichtet! Wir bestellten: 1x Spundenkäs´ mit Brezeln und 1x Leberkäs´ gebraten mit Spiegelei plus Getränke. Die Bedienung war aufmerksam und das Essen kam schneller, als erwartet! Da draußen Schönwetter herrschte, war´s im Schiff angenehm ruhig, was wir genossen... Wer also mal auf dem Weg nach Rüdesheim nach Walluf kommt: meine Empfehlung!

Original shop with authentic cuisine. Nice service. Always recommended.

Actually 5 stars but today the kitchen was in a bad mood. Service perfect 🫶👌. Food tasted cool. Very nice atmosphere, a real ship. WOW?!! Toilets are clean too.?!!

Great location on the Rhine. Small selection of food

Very nice atmosphere on the Rhine and very nice staff. I can only recommend

Very cozy guest room with a certain flair. We recommend. We had an excellent meal on site. Very nice service.

Nice atmosphere on the Rhine, nice service, good selection of food, we were satisfied and would like to come back.

Unfortunately I was only outside in the garden right by the water. I can highly recommend the schnitzel with the potato salad.

Very beautiful there . It's a pleasure

Nice place to stay with a drink of your choice.

Restaurant on a pontoon/boat. Very nicely decorated, but because it is small, it is also a bit noisy. Very friendly service and the menu has something completely different than in other restaurants. Food was very tasty. 👍☺️

Enjoy delicious home-made food and wine in a beautiful atmosphere

I've been going to Schwabbel for around 40 years and still really enjoy being here. The food is solid and modern, presented attractively and brought to the table in a friendly manner. Top! I regret the new building a bit and at the same time I'm looking forward to it. If the overall package handles the move well, I'll continue.

Great and super nice service staff. Good food - great value for money. Gladly again soon. Nice atmosphere in nice weather - outside. 03/25/24 still recommended.

Very nice there and just rustic and everything was very clean. We were warmly welcomed and served. There is also a nice selection of wines and small dishes.

Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food because we only ever drink one or two glasses outdoors and only when there are two winemakers serving their wine at the Wallufer wine stand next door who don't deserve the name winemakers, connoisseurs will know who they are. But back to the chatterbox, the wine and beer are delicious but the service...there's still a lot of room for improvement. When the sun is shining and as a restaurateur you know that things are going to be bad, there should be more service staff who are also careful and quick and don't go back empty-handed. Last Sunday we had to leave after 15 minutes because there was no service. We were 6 people

The lentil stew was very good. It could have been a little warmer. Since it was very cold outside, there were always awkward moments when the doors were open.

After a long walk in cloudy weather, we had an excellent meal. The Maultaschen were very tasty and the wine was also good. It was very comfortable and the service was very friendly. Can only be recommended. If the weather is nice you can also sit outside.

I drank really good mulled wine. Very nice .

Very cozy atmosphere and very friendly staff!

Schwabbel is worth a visit, but make a reservation. Spontaneous only works so-so. Otherwise you'll be looking down the drain. Food delicious.

Macht einen guten Eindruck und das Personal war sehr nett und aufmerksam! 👍 ☺️ Wir kommen wieder

Wir waren vom Essen total enttäuscht. Schade, denn die Location ist schön. Für die schnelle und nette Antwort des Inhabers, gebe ich gerne noch einen Stern dazu und werde das Essen nochmal probieren.

Durch Zufall gefunden. Super toll. Schöne Speisenauswahl. Wir kommen gerne wieder... ;-)

Kenne die Schwabbel schon gut 50 jahre und konnte früher auch mal mit einem kleinen Boot direkt an der Schwabbel anlegen (bei entsprechendem Wasserstand) kenne also die Schwanbel schwimmend und trocken liegend . Bei allen Inhabern mal mehr und mal weniger gut ! Aber in den letzten Jahren bestens! Habe die Schwabbel vom Boot aus (Budenheim ) in Sichtweite! Leider fährt die Fahrradfähre nicht mehr da der weg nach Rüdesheim für Radfahrer gesperrt wurde ( deutlicher Rückgang der Fahrradfahrer)😡.und mit dem Auto von Budenheim zur schwabbel ist uns eigentlich zu umständlich ! Von Wiesbaden kommend sind wir leichter da und öfter ! Hätte die Schwabbel einen Anleger für Boote … das wäre es . Fazil hatte das mal vergeblich versucht 🤗 Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Ein Sommerabend am Wasser genießen oder selbst dort eine Party machen! Es ist eine schöne Lokation für alles….

Sehr einfache Karte. Bedienungen sehr freundlich und nett

Wir waren auf der Planwagenfahrt und im Anschluss im Restaurant. Die Planwagenfahrt war wie sie besser nicht hätte sein können , persönliche Note und perfekt abgerundete Fahrt mit einem Touch Historie und tollen Gastgebern. Danke @ Kai & @Konny :)

nettes Lokal direkt am Rhein, Preis-Leistung stimmt kann ich nur7 empfehlen

Sehr nette Bedienung/en. Speisen sind lecker. Manchmal klassisch, manchmal neue Kompositionen auf der Karte . Und man sitzt schön. Also auf und hin

Tolles Essen Rote Beete Salat 🥗😋 mit Maultaschen und Champignonrahmsauce . Sehr sehr lecker. Man kann direkt am Wasser im kleinen Biergarten sitzen. Nette Bedienung 😀

Hat uns sehr gut gefallen vor allem wie es aufgebaut ist

Top lecker und freundlicher Service, den Kartoffelsalat unbedingt probieren. Freuen uns wenn die Sicht wieder frei ist. Wir kommen wieder!

Ein Gutsausschank der besten Art. Guten Wein und ausgesprochen leckeres Essen zu angemessenen nicht zu hohen Preisen. Sehr zu empfehlen

Wir sind hier spontan auf unserer Fahrrad Tour eingekehrt. Konnten draußen sitzen mit Blick auf den Rhein. Der Rüblikuchen war frisch gebacken und super lecker, freundlicher Service. 🤩

super Location, tolles Ambiente,👍

Schöne Location am Rhein. Essen war ok
