Regional, seasonal, just like home.

Rooted in tradition and closely connected to the region – that is what master chef Theo Wanders stands for, representing the seventh generation of his family to run the hotel. We cook with fresh ingredients, giving preference to regional and seasonal produce. Our menu includes Elten asparagus, chanterelles and game dishes, as well as good home cooking and our house classics. Enjoy our food in the restaurant, in the tavern or on our summer terrace.

Tavern

By the fireplace, at the regulars’ table.

Our tavern has always been a meeting place for a short break and good conversation. Take a seat by the window, by the fireplace or at our historic regulars’ table.

A special feature is the fireplace surround: its tiles reproduce a drawing by Rembrandt’s pupil Lambert Doomer. In 1663 he drew Klosterstraße in Niederelten from the opposite side of the street – and our house can be seen in it, too. The Wanders family was already living in Elten at that time. The original is now in the Louvre in Paris.

Summer terrace

Under large parasols.

With a view of the Eltener Markt and St Martinus Church, enjoy our food and a cool drink in the open air. Open in fine weather from May to early October.
