The story
At Jagdhaus Waldfrieden in Ellerau, the kitchen is guided by a simple principle: behind every dish stands a person. This belief shapes the restaurant’s approach to classic cuisine, focusing on quality over mass production. The team works closely with small family farms, sourcing ingredients regionally to create food that is both honest and fair.
The restaurant offers a set menu and a selection of seasonal specialties, available Wednesday through Sunday for lunch and dinner. A recent menu showcases the kitchen’s skill with game, featuring a rosy-grilled fillet of wild boar with juniper jus, lingonberries, market vegetables, and macaire. Another highlight is the Baltic salmon fillet, served with peas, snow peas, sea asparagus, and a cabbage-potato mousse. For dessert, a parfait of elderflower with citrus fruit and mint provides a light, aromatic finish. The seasonal specialties also include appetizers like gratinated goat cheese with apple, beetroot, walnuts, and honey, and a wild game consommé with Madeira and pancake strips.
Located within a private hotel with its own park and small pond, Jagdhaus Waldfrieden offers a setting that encourages guests to pause and savor. The restaurant is part of the Romantik Hotels group and has earned a Michelin Recommended award, a recognition that aligns with its commitment to quality ingredients and careful preparation. Whether for a multi-course dinner or a relaxed café visit in the afternoon, the focus remains on genuine hospitality and regional, seasonal flavors.
