Our Passion
A Passion for Produce from Our Region
Treating the valuable produce of our region with care and respect is a matter close to our hearts. We focus on high-quality ingredients and are proud that a very large proportion comes from within a radius of 50 kilometres.
Our head chef and host Ewald has a clear philosophy:
"As a chef, there is no greater pleasure than working with ingredients of the highest quality. When they have also been produced locally and we know the producers personally, it is incredibly rewarding. An awareness of how our food is produced and of animal welfare accompanies me in everything I do.
- Ewald Tschanhenz
