The story
High above the Moselle valley, in the small village of Dreis near Wittlich, Waldhotel Sonnora has long been a destination for those who seek refined dining in a serene setting. Surrounded by a beautiful park and the quiet of the Eifel countryside, the restaurant is the heart of the house – a place where every detail is devoted to the pleasure of taste.
The kitchen, led by chef Clemens Rambichler and his team, creates what they call the "Menü Sonnora": a precise blend of tradition and modernity. Here, Classic French cuisine is interpreted with a contemporary touch, using carefully sourced ingredients. Guests may also choose from the "SONNORA Specials & Classics," a selection of signature dishes that honor the restaurant’s storied past while looking forward.
After the passing of the legendary Helmut Thieltges, Magdalena and Clemens Rambichler were determined that the Sonnora legacy must continue. With the support of first-class chefs, trained sommeliers, and an excellent service team, they have not only preserved the restaurant’s three Michelin stars but also infused it with new energy. The wine list, as one would expect, is particularly interesting – a reflection of the region’s finest bottles and international treasures.
The dining experience at Waldhotel Sonnora is one of unhurried elegance. The setting – surrounded by nature, with outdoor seating available in warmer months – invites guests to linger. Whether for a multi-course dinner or a weekend stay, the focus remains on genuine hospitality and the simple joy of a well-crafted meal. This is a place where the food speaks for itself, and the surroundings allow it to be heard.
