Restaurant
Franky’s Wasserbahnhof Mintard
Mülheim an der Ruhr
5.0 · 1 review

Franky's Wasserbahnhof Mintard combines a restaurant, served terrace and self-service beer garden directly beside the Ruhr. These are different ways to visit the same riverside address: choose an à la carte table for a full meal, or use the grill and container service for a more informal stop outdoors. A large riverside lawn adds space to the setting, and children have a pirate-ship play feature.
The kitchen uses seasonal ingredients and works with selected regional suppliers. Its published menu moves between local dishes and broader influences, from Rhineland potato soup and schnitzel made with Ruhrtaler pork to trout, prawn pasta and curry. Vegetarian and vegan dishes have a clear place too, including filled cannelloni, a bowl with chickpea patties and a plant-based burger.
The restaurant can be part of a cycling outing on the RuhrtalRadweg, while the Weiße Flotte provides a waterborne way to reach the area when services operate. Check boat schedules separately if that is part of your plan. For the dining experience itself, specify whether you want the served terrace or restaurant when making a reservation.
The address is 129 August-Thyssen-Straße in Mintard. Opening begins at noon Wednesday to Sunday, with Monday and Tuesday closed. The kitchen normally closes at 21:00, or 20:00 on Sundays and public holidays. Reserve ahead for sunny weekends; the team takes enquiries by telephone, email and its online table system.
