Cafe Rothgen - Bingen am Rhein

Staying at the NH Hotel Bingen the breakfast was far too expensive so we ventured to this location 10 mins away in the town. Excellent choice of breakfast options at realistic prices - would highly recommend

We ate breakfast here on Tuesday, September 8th before we went on the Rhine tour. Took train here from Rothenburg. Very close to the train station. Only a couple of blocks. Ate outside. We had all our luggage and did not want to have to carry it into the restaurant. Made it nice. Food was good. Waitress was very nice and spoke English. That was refreshing. Price was excellent.

Following Trip Advisor we ate breakfast here. It was full of locals eating everything from ice cream (09.00) bit early for us to breakfast with a sparkling wine again just too early but only just. They have got style these Germans. We had egg, ham, salami, cheese with bread and butter, jams, coffee. €8 approximately

If you're hankering for a delicious piece of kuchen (cake), this place is the ticket. It is difficult to select from the delectable display of cakes and pastries, but based on the three we had, I don't think you can go wrong. The cafe itself is very chic, tastefully decorated and comfortable. There's a pretty outside area when the weather cooperates. If you're looking for some nice gifts, they have a lovely selection of boxed chocolates and coffee. I would have loved to try Cafe Rothgen for breakfast or lunch but we ran out of time. It's on my list the next time I'm in Bingen (great base for exploring the Middle Rhine area).

Granny and I visited for Saturday morning breakfast. We were there late morning and unfortunately Gran couldn't have her croissants as they'd run out. I had the buffet, which was much like a hotel buffet breakfast and just as tasty. The tables were full of families giving their young kids a Saturday morning treat, friends meeting up for a hearty breakfast and catch up and also couples. The service was good and the waitress seemed to know everyone personally (including my Gran!). I orignially thought 12.50 Euros was a little expensive but an "all you can eat" breakfast in an hotel would set you back the same amount. So, make sure you are hungry before you go and enjoy a relaxing morning feast!
