Bei Riebels - offene Fischküche, Fish restaurant in Reichenau, Germany.
Bei Riebels is a fish restaurant on Reichenau island at Lake Constance, featuring an open kitchen where guests can watch their meals being prepared. It serves primarily fish dishes sourced from the lake or local fishermen, paired with regional vegetables and sauces.
The restaurant emerged from Reichenau's long fishing tradition, which has been central to the island's economy for centuries. The open kitchen concept represents a modern way to showcase and celebrate this traditional heritage.
The restaurant connects diners to local fishing traditions by sourcing catches from area fishermen and preparing them with time-honored regional methods and accompaniments. Visitors experience this link between the lake and the kitchen when they see fresh fish being handled and cooked.
The establishment opens seasonally between Easter and October with daily service starting at midday and continuing into early evening. Guests should know the space is relatively small and wheelchair access is limited.
The restaurant works directly with local fishermen, some of whom are still on the lake in the morning before their catch is prepared the same day. This direct connection means the fish are extremely fresh, though availability varies depending on what the lake yields.
