Koblenz, a small beautiful tourist city where Mosel and Rhine rivers meet.
Germany is in many eyes not a tourist attraction, and that is a shame, it have so much to offer, specially around this area. The possibilities are many, from cycling along the rivers, meeting at the playgrounds, living at the nice hotels, wine tastings or gourmet foods.
In the small city of Koblenz (around 100.000 inhabitants) there is 2 michelin stars, 1 bib gourmand (Gerhards Genussgesellschaft) and 3 plate. A gourmet haven.
Obviously Riesling reign supreme in this area, and with good reasoning. Its made in the hills surrounding the city.
Gerhards Genussgesellschaft is placed in the park surrounding the Basilica of St. Castor the oldsest church of Koblenz – right where the two rivers meet. It have a beautiful courtyard serving – where the children play. The food is a nudge up from german farmers food. Its seasonal regional food and it tastes of more then it costs. Rewarded the Bib Gourmand, it is very much this type of food, affordable gourmet food.
Will come back to this
