The most beautiful restaurants on Lake Constance

Over 70 kilometers of shoreline characterize the Thurgau landscape and form a breathtaking lakeside backdrop. Many restaurants on Switzerland's Lake Constance and Rhine are located directly on the water and offer a unique atmosphere. We have put together our favorite restaurants for connoisseurs, romantics and dreamers.

The Bad Horn Hotel & Spa is one of the best addresses for a shorter or longer stay on Lake Constance. The restaurant has a wonderful terrace in a prime lakeside location and can even be reached from the water by boat via the hotel's own jetty.
A dinner on the lakeside terrace is the crowning glory of a visit to the See & Park Hotel Feldbach in Steckborn, a former convent building dating back to the 13th century. Where nuns once lived, guests can now enjoy the view of Lake Constance. Set in extensive grounds and surrounded by roses, the hotel and its stylish restaurant are also popular with locals.
The Seehuus restaurant in Egnach offers a wonderful view of Lake Constance. It is located between the international Lake Constance cycle path and the Wiedehorn swimming area. One highlight is the panoramic window front, which is glazed throughout and offers a fantastic view of Lake Constance. When temperatures are pleasant, the height-adjustable glazing can be lowered completely into the floor. This creates a spacious, sheltered terrace.
At 65 years old, the former MS Kreuzlingen passenger ship has not been retired, but has been stylishly rebuilt and renovated. As the "Ermarina", it is now moored in Ermatingen at the new "Stedi" harbor facility. Relax on the deck lounge with a chilled drink in your hand and enjoy the gentle rocking of the boat or savor refined regional cuisine in the restaurant. Always included: a magnificent view of the Untersee.
The Hafen restaurant pays homage to the harbor town of Romanshorn. It is located - how could it be otherwise - directly on the water in Romanshorn's harbor basin. In summer, the spacious terrace invites you to feast, linger and watch the cruise ships. The name is also a must inside: the interior is very stylish and lovingly decorated with nautical details dedicated entirely to the theme of shipping.
The Seehotel Schiff is located directly on the shores of the idyllic Untersee lake and just 100 meters from the Mannenbach-Salenstein train station. If you look out over the turquoise water from its lakeside terrace, time stands still. Not only is the location and view magnificent, but the food at the Seehotel Schiff - with many creations made from local ingredients - also makes gourmets' hearts beat faster. The beautiful conservatory is a great place to be even in colder temperatures.
Modern, varied and regional - the Krone restaurant is in a fantastic location on Altnau harbor. It offers a varied selection of seasonal dishes prepared from fresh, local ingredients. The Krone is divided into two areas: Inside, guests can expect a stylish fine-dining restaurant, while the summer terrace, the "Krone Easy", offers simple self-service menus when the weather is fine.
The Gasthaus Schupfen is somewhat hidden just outside Diessenhofen on the idyllic banks of the Rhine. The Rhyschüür - a barn converted into an event location - is probably the most beautiful wedding venue in the region. It is located directly on the water and guarantees unforgettable celebrations. However, the quiet terrace of the inn is also a wonderful place to enjoy a smaller event.
Another highlight is the Fischerhaus restaurant in Kreuzlingen with its great and uncomplicated beer garden right on the lakeshore. If you prefer something a little more dignified, take a seat in the restaurant or on the wonderful lakeside terrace of the Fischerhaus.
Lake Constance lies deep blue in front of you. You don't want to leave the slightly elevated vantage point of the restaurant's terrace. This is pure vacation feeling!
The Pier restaurant in Uttwil is located directly on Lake Constance. The multifaceted atmosphere of the lake is a delight during both the warm and cold seasons.
Gottlieber Sweets & Coffee sells all Gottlieber specialties such as Hüppen, cocoa almonds, truffles and chocolate. Guests can enjoy pleasant moments in a cozy atmosphere on the lakeside terrace with a cool beer, champagne or a good glass of wine. But even on foggy autumn and winter days, guests can unwind and watch the flowing waters of the Seerhein over a hot and fragrant cup of coffee.
