Restaurant Zum Eichamt : Rohrgasse 2, 56856 Zell (Mosel), Germany

Everything was great during our dinner here. The menu offers great choices for everyone, with a standard 3 course menu, where you choose the entrée, main course and dessert. The building itself is gorgeous, being hundreds of years old, decorated with all kind of items from the past. Service was great, with a friendly staff, which also speaks English. Paying by card is possible as well. We really liked it and we highly recommend it, but I also recommend making reservations in advance.

Zum Eichamt has opened up a beautiful seating area right on the Mosel river banks. Still wonderful service as always and a peaceful place to enjoy lunch and a glass of wine. Each day there is a small menu for starters and lunch. The food is delicious. Everything about Zum Eichamt is amazing! They serve top quality food, have a beautiful charming inside seating area, and an outside seating area under grape vines and views of the Mosel. The service is so attentive and friendly. The owners and other server are so welcoming and always have time to get to know their customers. They offer three course meals, there’s always a meat, seafood, and vegetarian option. The starter is small portions of a few different items giving you a chance to really experience the chef’s expertise. Tonight, it was bread/butter, cold cucumber soup, beets, salad, mozzarella/tomato, prosciutto/melon and an egg/mushroom bite. For the main course we ordered the pulpo (octopus) with pea risotto and vegetables as well as the rump steak with salad and potatoes. The steak was a perfect medium and very flavorful. The octopus dish was flavored with lemon sauce and the vegetables had a nice seasonal flavor. The third course was dessert! We went with the crème brûlée/ice cream as well as the caramel brownie/ice cream. The ice cream had a raspberry coating and both desserts were served with berries. The wine is all local and some can be ordered by the glass. They have an extensive wine menu. And, to finish off the perfect night we had a mandarin schnapps digestive. You absolutely get what you pay for. The service, atmosphere, and food were worth it!

It is a cozy restaurant with a very nice atmosphere. The food is interesting, with many options for the chef's menu. We tried the beef and deer menu, and that was nice. The mains were good and in line with our expectations. We were expecting a more creative and tasty starter, but it was rather simple/bland. The desert was like a "cold molten chocolate lava cake" and for our taste, it felt very heavy/unbalanced and the accompanying ice cream had a lot of unmixed pieces of ice . I'm curious to return and give it another try and hope for some changes/improvements in the menu.
