das Höfchen Stadecken

Thanks to the commitment of the Stein family, what began in the early 20C as a village tavern has evolved over the decades into a modern restaurant serving sophisticated cuisine. Owner and head chef Philipp Stein represents the sixth generation at the helm. There is no doubt about his outstanding culinary talent. What may, at first glance, seem simple is actually exceedingly complex in terms of flavour and harmony, yet accessible for all that. His dishes demonstrate a restrained elegance, but he is also able to draw on a bolder sense of innovation when he deems it necessary. An excellent wine

This compact restaurant has the potential to become a firm favourite – so why not book without further ado? It is somewhat tucked away, but the effort to get there pays dividends, which is down to Nora Breyer and Sebastian Kauper (both trained chefs) and the setting of the Kapellenhof, an estate that dates back over 300 years. Working together beneath the gable roof as a well-oiled machine, this affable couple has created an extremely warm and welcoming atmosphere. Your hostess provides friendly service and will also be able to recommend some excellent wines. In his modern, seasonal cuisine, S

In addition to its hotel and café, the Frankenbach family also runs Jean in this former wine bar. After working in renowned establishments such as Ikarus in Salzburg, Johannes Frankenbach (the third generation of the family) has been at the helm here since 2012. Even the name "Jean" (a French equivalent of Johannes) is a nod to his love of France, which is as much a part of his ingredient-led, Mediterranean-influenced cuisine as is his knack for creating fine aromas and flavour contrasts. This is accompanied by judicious and fairly priced wine pairings. The setting is also charming: half-heigh

Located in Stadtpark Mainz and run by the dedicated Barth family, FAVORITE parkhotel is not only a sophisticated place to stay but also has a restaurant that is well worth seeking out. There has been a change in the management of the fine dining restaurant's kitchen. Aniello Casalino showcases his refined Mediterranean touch here, working with fresh, carefully chosen ingredients. Dishes such as open carbonara raviolo with veal sweetbreads, egg yolk cream, Parmesan foam and orange crumble, or cod with baby artichoke, pecorino, fregola and dashi beurre blanc beautifully reflect his style.

This restaurant steeped in tradition moved in March 2026 from the Nassauer Hof in Wiesbaden to Eberbach Monastery. It is in the historic gatehouse (Pfortenhaus) that Michael Kammermeier now serves up his modern-inspired cuisine in the form of considered, meticulously crafted and flavoursome dishes made with excellent-quality produce. Of the two set menus, "Küchenrunde" and "Querbeet", the latter is the vegetarian version. Both are available in a five- to eight-course format and include dishes such as "salmon trout from the Wispertal Forellenhof Seitz, horseradish, radishes, grapes, verjus, lov

Set in the heart of a quaint wine-growing village, the old house is an enchanting destination. The menu features flavoursome dishes with both classic and Mediterranean influences, such as grilled octopus with celeriac cream and lime, or veal loin and braised pork cheek with mashed potatoes. Dine in the charmingly rustic yet modern interior or out on the terrace in the lovely courtyard. The converted barn is perfect for private events.

Frank Gebert is all about packing flavours and aromas into classic cuisine. He is fond of using regional and seasonal ingredients in dishes such as trout soup with julienned vegetables or local venison ragout with creamed savoy cabbage. Tip: Try the reasonably priced three-course set menu. The stylish, cosy atmosphere is pleasant, and the senior manager welcomes diners with the characteristic charm of folk from Mainz – regulars appreciate the family atmosphere. The restaurant is not far from the Old Town, within spitting distance of the Rhine, and has a lovely vine-clad terrace in the courtyar
