Even though the basics are pork schnitzel, the preparations are creative. Schnitzel Toscana was a breaded cutlet covered with parmigiana and gouda cheese with cherry tomatoes, served with spaghetti and pesto and olive oil. Another dish was a pork chop, breaded, and served with sautéed onions, and leeks in cream sauce, boiled potatoes. Absolutely so delicious, better than my description! Very good wine selection. One day we had lunch outside. Then came back for a drink in the afternoon outside, then dinner! Lovely place. Lovely food. Great service. Reasonable prices!!

Food is fresh (farm to table) and delicious and the decor resembles an old wine cave. Outside seating as well I believe on the river but it was a bit too chilly for that. Handmade desserts were delectable and the location, on the river in the heart of wine country, was ideal. Highly recommend this place to anyone traveling through or staying near by.

Wow! What a fabulous find!! We ended up at Gaststätte Mühlenschenke quite serendipitously... We had…read morejust descended from the Sesselbahn after the trip up and a bit of wandering at the top of the mountain, and found my mom here. Not a hiker and unwilling to risk missing the last ride down with us, Mom finished her ride and had a little extra time to kill, so she went to the first place she saw offering beer on a patio. When we disembarked from our tram, she waved to us from across the street and we happily made our way to join her. Upon walking up, we saw 5 or 6 locals enjoying some beer and chatting around what I can only assume was the Stammtisch. We were the only other people there. Soon a woman from the Stammtisch came over to take our order. She was friendly with a fabulous sense of humor and didn't speak a lick of English, so it was good Mom had practiced "ein Bier, bitte" a few times so she could order without me be being there to translate! We asked about wine and food, and she asked us what wines we like. I told her we like everything, so she told us to follow her inside, where she proceeded to hand us a menu to look over while she gave us samples of the local wines they serve. Turned out they were all tasty. My favorite was the Halbtrocken (also hers), but the Auslese was also quite light and refreshing. I got two of the Halbtrocken and one of the sweet for the three of us. As we continued to look over the menu, we settled on a pork schnitzel with peppercorn sauce & goulasch soup for Gary & me to share, and Käsebrot (buttered slices of rye with Butterkäse and Swiss cheese on top) for Mom. The kind lady told us her name is Monika and that if we needed anything else, then just let her know. Then she disappeared into the kitchen, along with one of the other fellas from the Stammtisch. Before we knew it, Monika was bringing out our meal, freshly prepared, and then settling back in with her pals to continue their conversation and beer. Aside from the home-cooked meals at my German family's house, this was by far my favorite meal this trip. It made it very clear where my maternal Grandma's family recipes were derived from... Yum!! As we left, Monika asked us to write to her when we returned to Texas and I promised we would, and now we have made yet another new friend... *Side Note* When we returned to our hotel and told the owner where we had eaten, he told us he usually sends guests/ tourists to the two restaurants across the street from Monika Mühlenschenke's place because her food is "simple". Then he said he prefers Monika's cooking more though (especially their steak with onions) and goes there most... I have to say that in this case the sheer simplicity is why it was so perfect! Prost!!

Had lunch there after a delightful boat trip on the Rhine…read more Augusta is very near the boat docks, and the patio has a view of the Rhine (though trees obstruct some of the view). Well-prepared, well presented, up-scale food. A good wine list. Attentive service. And a charming host (one of the owners) who works the room, interacts with customers, but also delivers food and cleans tables when necessary (as a good owner does). Nice furnishings and tasteful decor. Elegant, but not over-the-top or stuffy. Note: The daily specials are the best value. Highly Recommended!

The second stop on our Middle Rhine tour…read more It was a mistake that we got off the ferry a stop early - we meant Sankt Goarshausen but the ferry ran a few minutes late - Me, still think the Germans don't miss a second (which is so not true anymore lately ...) I would have given them a five instead of four - you be the judge: they've shuttle and the wait staff assured us that there is a shuttle every 15 minutes when I asked him at 5:03, using Google translate. When we done our meal and went to the info, the lady told us, shuttle ends at 5pm. My point is: I knew my German is nearly no-exist (shame on myself ...) but Google Translates isn't. ... whatever. I dislike going down very much. Ok if you wondered how did I get down - I backed down. And one lesson from this is: keep at if - for whatever you do and you'll accomplish it . The restaurant is totally worth to go, and I will return. The service is decent service - even we didn't need any more than necessary, other than the shuttle. The location is excellent: perching on a hill, I enjoyed the steep climb, up only. The foods - really good: beer dry Riesling chicken salad Flammekueche or tarte flambée . Before our food arrived (didn't know what my better half ordered - showed I'm totally not the boss ...), I asked next table in Chinese, how do they like their - it came to their table so quickly that we might order the same - warning - you'll never want to sit near me in the same restaurant they're so nice - insisted that I try a slice... both are great . After ours arrived, I offered them too - they loved it - out of politeness or real, you've to ask them.

We stopped by at opening (18H) and asked if we could make a reservation for a bit later as we wanted to explore the city a bit more. The owner with limited English told us no reservations, just come back. We did just that an hour later and he was able to seat the two of us. The owner suggested a great Riesling. We struggled a bit with the menu in German since the options variety boards and not the typical entrees we had gotten used to so the owner sent out the cook to help us. We ordered a cheese variety plate and a plate with some meat varieties, cheese, and bread. Both included a few pickles and tomatoes. They were exactly the type of light fare we were looking for that night and what we expected at a wine bar. The restaurant was loaded with antique character and fit the image of what you would want a hidden gem winestub in an old city like Cochem to look and feel like. The same larger groups we saw waiting for the opening were still enjoying their meals and more wine which was easy to understand. We started with a glass each, but enjoyed it so much we got a bottle. Highly recommend Alte Gutsschanke!
