My wife had the Sankt Goar pfanne which was baked pork tenderloin with mushrooms over spaetzle. I had the Schweiz schnitzel with bratkartoffelen. We'd planned to start with an appetizer but the waitress told us that would be too much food she was correct. The meals were large and very tasty. We skipped our favorite Italian restaurant this trip to try Zur Krone. It was a wise choice.

There appeared to be two food options, an outdoor picnic table and snack bar style snack bar and this restaurant. On entry, it is beautifully appointed with a bright wall of windows overlooking the grounds and surrounding rolling hills. I asked for a table next to a window but was told they were all taken or reserved. Ok, we still had a great view. This is a winery so house wine was the obvious choice. Unfortunately, we are red wine drinkers and this winery is known for whites. No worries. The menu had so many exciting options and after a brief discussion, I decided on the salad with chicken. It was excellent! The other dishes on the table also looked great and appeared to be delicious as all of the food disappeared quickly. This experience was so good, it called for dessert. Lucky for us, the next table has ordered sundaes so we knew what to expect and ordered 2. This was one of our outstanding meals on our tour of Austria and Germany. Bon appetit!

They had a very good white wine made by the owners. It was called Crime wine. It is being made for a company in Norway(?). Not dry and not sweet. Very easy to drink. They also had a cordial called Rheinsteigtropfen. This cherry flavored 35% Kraeuter-Kirsch drink was very good. It is not a very big place. It is an older house that is now used as the restaurant and bar. So the rooms are small and so not many tables. But the food and drinks make this a good stop. The only person working was a nice young man who we found out was the only son of the owners. His English was fine and he seemed truest interested in our opinion of their products.

We were in the Rhine River Valley in Sankt Goar near Rhinefels Castle (a wonderful spot to visit if you are in the area!), and we were hungry for lunch. Restaurant Zur Loreley had a great looking menu with authentic German food and great reviews to go along with it, so we decided to check it out for lunch. Like many (most?) restaurants in Germany, they have a single brewery they are linked with, so I got the pils on draft (sadly the name currently escapes me). It was very light but had a great flavor, and it served to remind me yet again how fabulous German beers are. I decided to start with a soup, and the tomato cream soup sounded wonderful. It was indeed wonderful--thick, creamy, with a nice robust flavor. It was the perfect start to the meal. I should also mention that the menus were available both in German and in English, which helped quite a bit since I don't speak German. We ordered 2 entrees for lunch. My coworker ordered a schnitzel which came covered with mushrooms and accompanied with pan fried potatoes. I decided that I was pretty hungry so ordered a 3 filet sampler that included 2 pork loin filets and a beef loin filet, served with mushrooms, pan fried potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and other veggies. The schnitzel had a great flavor, with a light fried batter outside and very tender, moist meat on the inside. It tasted amazing with the mushrooms, which were perfectly tender. The potatoes were also quite nice, with just the right texture and crisp. The 3 filets were prepared very well, again being tender and juicy and satisfying the taste buds. The mushrooms and potatoes were identical to the ones that came with the other dish, but they were equally yummy. The vegetables were also good and made for a well-rounded meal. The restaurant is attached to a hotel and was very quaint and homey inside. The service was very friendly and accommodating, particularly for 2 Americans who don't speak German. Not only was the food delicious, but the portions were quite large. They do offer smaller versions of plates if you are not so hungry, and we could see why given that we were unable to finish our food. The prices were also quite reasonable. Hotel restaurants are generally stereotyped (at least in the US) as being mediocre, but this certainly did not apply to Restaurant Zur Loreley. If you are visiting Rheinfels Castle (or just happen to be in the area), you should definitely stop by, as you will not be disappointed.
