The best place is at the bar. There you can watch Enrico Sablotny and his team at work. The surprise menu - always creative, always aesthetically pleasing - is also available as a vegetarian option.
Thomas Lösche still cooks the old school way - free from fashions, airs and graces and provocation. The view of the Rhine is extra beautiful. The interior is a little outdated. Regulars love this style.
