This bistro-style restaurant with a seafood market specializes in fresh fish from the lake prepared on a grill in front of guests. In good weather, sit outside on the long communal tables, or stop for a fish roll when wandering the island. If you want dinner, make it an early one; the restaurant closes at 7:30.
This bustling multilevel café opens early, closes late, and offers a mind-boggling array of ice-cream dishes and other sweet and savory fare. For a quick and inexpensive meal, consider the tasty breakfasts, sandwiches, and German- and Italian-influenced items available.
This kiosk-style restaurant at Reichenau's yacht harbor provides an ideal lunch, drink, or snack stop when wandering the island. In good weather, you can sit outside and watch the boats come and go. It's also a perfect place to try the Bodensee specialty Zanderknusperle (crispy battered pike-perch bites)—fresh out of the lake.
A grand view of the harbor and the lake is only one of the attractions of this art deco–style restaurant, serving lunch and dinner (after the museum has closed), in the Zeppelin Museum. Soak up the retro airship travel theme as you enjoy cakes and drinks, and a range of Swabian, Italian, and Asian-influenced meals.
