Stübers Restaurant

Six generations on the wall

Stübers Restaurant is the dining room of the Rhein-Hotel, a half-timbered house built on Bacharach's medieval wall, beside the river. It is run by the Stüber family, with Andreas Stüber in the kitchen, and has been feeding travellers since 1874. It is the place for the special dinner of a trip to the Middle Rhine, without being a long-tablecloth restaurant: regional cooking, with organic and seasonal produce, which the house calls Slow Food mediterrhein, a play on Mediterranean and Rhine.

The menu

The menu is organised into worlds of flavour, each with its own menu and wines, and each dish can be ordered individually. On the October 2026 menu, the Slow Food menu begins with a Middle Rhine assortment for €19: the Hinkelsdreck, the house chicken-liver pâté, marinated pike-perch, salmon trout mousse, a wild boar and trout vitello tonnato and goat salami. Next comes the house dish, the Bacharacher Rieslingbraten, Hunsrück veal shoulder braised for fifteen hours in Riesling at 80 degrees, with Riesling sauce and organic wheat spätzle, for €28. The three-course menu costs €57, and €62 with a salad.

The Welterbe menu, for World Heritage, goes another way: tuna tataki, potato and pumpkin cream with smoked trout from the Wisper and a young venison Pfeffersteak with truffle mash for €41; three courses, €64. There are vegan, gluten-free and lactose-free options. The wines are from valley wineries, such as Ratzenberger, Toni Jost or Dr. Kauer, with bottles of Riesling from €32. In November it adds a sheet of seasonal dishes.

Hours and booking

Open Tuesday to Sunday, from 17:00 to 21:00, and the last main course is ordered at 21:00. Monday does not appear in the hours. The house recommends booking, and you can do so online. The website does not publish a winter closure: if you go in January or February, ask.

Getting there

It is on Langstraße, the street inside the wall that faces the river. From Bacharach station and from the KD landing stage you walk there in a few minutes. If you sleep at the Rhein-Hotel itself, you just go down to the dining room.
