Hotel-Restaurant Kranenturm - Bacharach

Bacharach target for medium fans. from the road to the hotel kranenturm, they must first go through them: a tunnel leads them through a crunchy old door under the historic city tower. .... about the hotel I can't say so much only that it's just a very fascinating situation from outside. the tower is 800 years old and as they can read in the internet, there are also three rooms here. All I've read so far makes me angry that we didn't just boot in there when we visited bacharach. but we were already fascinated by the outer one that was so fascinated.

Here at the Rick Steve Tour and our first night had dinner here. The food was very delicious with very good prices. Recommended restaurant and hotel

We were on a Rick Steve's group tour. The food was excellent and the owners as well as the cook and female bartender made a great job!!

We both enjoyed the cream soup, salad, spetzel and chicken with mushroom engraving. The wine was also cheap and we enjoyed this wine while sitting on the terrace of the hotel. A very pleasant evening.

At the beginning of my most recent trip abroad I landed in Frankfurt on 8 October and from the airport took a train to Bacharach, where I 'd stay for two nights. I did not stay at the Hotel Kranenturm, but I chose VERY well in making the restaurant my first stop for a meal. I was jet lagged, needed a meal before sleeping and arrived at the restaurant unfashionably early in fact I was the first customer, but that worked to my advantage as I had a chance to chat with my charming hostess Fatima and with my excellent waitress, whose name I 'm sad to say I 've forgotten. I suppose it 's a tad too obvious to choose a quintessential German dish for one 's first meal there (on this trip, I 'd been to Germany before, in fact was stationed there in 1967 68). But the sauerbraten at this restaurant had been highly recommended in more than one guidebook. Right they were, and right happy was I with the choice! I 'll let an attached photo do some of the explaining, but this was heaven on a plate the meat was tender, the sauce absolutely incredible, and the cabbage and potatoes were perfect accompaniments. When I was young I used to drink German wine, but haven 't in years. Of course the Rhine is wine central, and Bacharach prides itself on its wines, even over the rest in the area. I can 't argue. I let my hostess choose the wine, and she offered a delicious local red that washed down the food wondrous fair. I 'm ashamed to say I don 't remember the name, but I think it comes from a local vintner named Jost. In addition to very friendly and attentive service and from my above paragraph obviously GREAT food, the restaurant is charmingly set in the old town walls if the evening had been a bit warmer and less damp I could have sat outside on their porch that overlooks the city park and beyond that, the River Rhine. As it was I had a lovely spot in a lovely dining room, and could see the river from my seat. I understand there are other fine restaurants in Bacharach, but I could not have done better than the Restaurant Kranenturm! I urge anyone who finds her or himself in that area to run, not walk to this excellent restaurant. a quick ps they were also offering local fresh fish, which I really hungered for as well I chose the sauerbraten for perhaps tacky tourist reasons, but Fatima had a joke on me about it as she wisely noted The fish is German too! And of course she was correct still I was more than content with my choice!
