Rheinlander German Restaurant Restaurant Review

: It’s been nearly 50 years since Horst Mager created his one-of-a-kind German restaurant in Northeast Portland, where a perpetual clock counts down the seconds until the next Oktoberfest. But in fact, there’s always a sense of celebration at Rheinlander, and generations of Portland families have flocked here. Kids will enjoy the singing waiters and strolling accordion players, plus the fact that most dinners include a gooey Swiss cheese fondue (a children’s menu and family-style dinners are offered as well). The traditional German cuisine gets a few modern twists (gluten-free options, for example). Classic Wiener Schnitzel is garnished with lemon, anchovies and capers. A slab of local salmon lies atop a bed of pineapple-habanero sauerkraut. Top everything off with a stein or two of robust German beer, or another selection from the full bar. Be sure to finish your dining experience with a plate of flaky apple strudel. Note: If you arrive without a reservation, a lengthy wait is guaranteed.
