Restaurants, Pubs and Cafés

Mainz boasts a fairly large number of restaurants, weinstuben, pubs and cafés, and the following list is far from exhaustive. With Mike Creutz's kind permission, we can point those who nevertheless find it too long and confusing to Mike's personal recommendations for eating out in Mainz.

Venues suitable for larger parties (reservations being recommended) are marked by a "G" after the phone number.
