Contribute Feedback What Eckard Seeger likes about Altes Faehrhaus:
Great terrace with a view and a large old tree. Menu has many seasonal items. Food is decent but not special. Large wine list by the glass, inexpensive but well equipped. Very friendly staff, funny and knowledgeable. A place for tourists and locals as well. Definitely a place to come back to. View all feedback.
What Eckard Seeger doesn't like about Altes Faehrhaus:
The Old Ferry House has a good location near the Rhine in Königswinter. It serves traditional German dishes and has a pleasant terrace. The Wienerschnitzel was excellent and can be recommended. In our party of 7 we had a good selection of dishes and most of us were satisfied with our choice. The service was pretty good without being excellent. A good choice for a relatively simple lunch or dinner. View all feedback.
This was a very good occasion to try local specialities, such as black pudding and liver sausage with sauerkraut. For starters it was beef soup and it was not just in words “homemade” – it tasted like one. Local wine was very nice, if somewhat too light for the food choice. The service was very pleasant and efficient, the portions were overgenerous. The location is the best – if warm and not rainy, views of the river can be enjoyed from the terrace. Inside is very pleasant, too. The only minor thing – apples in the pie could have been more thoroughly cooked.
What a lovely view, sitting out on the terrace looking across the Rhine! Staff were very helpful and polite and fluent English speakers which is appreciated. I had pigs stomach steak, frittes and salad. Apart from the 'say it as it is ' aspect of describing the meat, not commenly done in UK, but it is what it is!, the meal was very tasty...fabulous variety of salad. The other meals were enjoyed, apart from one more adventurous order that isn 't the fault of the restaurant anyway! Would recommend.
The view of the Rhine is breathtaking. The terrace under old trees invites you to relax. Eating is good for such a local...
Popped into this very pleasant balcony type establishment whilst staying at the hotel next door.Our table overlooked the Rhine during a lovely balmy evening.Although we only had drinks it was a pleasurable experience and would recommend it over the pubs in the town centre which all seem to overlook a pedestrian area.
Very good service, very friendly, food was very good, nice to sit outside watching the Rhein. We will be happy to come back again.
