Restaurant Parkinsel
On the green Parkinsel, between a branch of the Rhine and mature old trees, Restaurant Parkinsel serves refined Mediterranean cuisine at a high level. Italian and French influences, fresh fish, a carefully composed wine list and a shady terrace. During the summer weeks, when the German Film Festival takes place on the island, it becomes a sought-after meeting point for gourmets.
Mediterranean Specialities
The menu at Restaurant Parkinsel follows a Mediterranean line, weaving Italian and French influences into a refined whole. Fresh fish plays a leading role, complemented by light starters, handcrafted pasta and carefully balanced main courses. The wine list is put together with care and holds both Mediterranean bottles and growths from the nearby Palatinate.
Terrace & Guests
Between a branch of the Rhine and mature old trees lies the shady terrace, the loveliest spot in the house on warm days. The clientele is a mix of gourmets, residents of the quiet Parkinsel and guests from further afield drawn by the special setting. Despite the upscale level, the mood stays summery and relaxed, carried by the greenery all around.
Festival & Good to Know
The restaurant is especially in demand during the summer weeks, when the German Film Festival comes to the island and festival guests bring the district to life. At that time a reservation is practically essential, but it is advisable at other times too. The location in the southern district, away from the traffic, makes for peace and quiet, and a walk across the island rounds off the visit nicely.
