Griffin's - Auf der Grevenburg — Restaurant in Traben-Trarbach

Such a special place. I've been here many times before the pandemic and a few after. If you could give "atmosphere" 6 stars, I would. Don't expect this to be fine dining, but everything is good, fresh, and served in a caring manner... all while enjoying some of the finest views anywhere.

Even better, this time I was introduced to a new couple, only recently moved to Traben Trarbach, who now run the place. Their English was great, my German atrocious :). We had great conversations about Formula 1, how Traben Trarbach has changed, and their holiday plans, etc. Even if the eating/drinking wasn't great, or the view not so awesome, I'd come back just because they are so kind and engaging.

A "can't go...

Excellent place with beautiful views. Large outdoor beer garden with plenty of tables and shade. If you walk through the woods to get here, it’s definitely worth it to come to this restaurant. Very nice wine selection and fresh food. It’s self service, go up to counter to order and choose where you want to sit, there are sunny and shaded spots. The staff is very friendly. And, the owner really takes the time to talk to his customers. We will definitely...

Very nice spot, worth your visit! The building was abandoned for 20 years, but got a new owner 3 years ago who made it a very cosy place again! A large outdoor terrace with lovely views over the wine ranks in the valley. Make the climb, as a tourist or a local, his appreciation will be guaranteed in quality beers/wines/foods. Open in winter with cosy bonfires outside. We'll be back for the chef's cuisine....
