Restaurants, cafés and bakeries in Hamm

Café Viktoria is the old pastry house of Eberbach, on Friedrichstraße in the town centre, a short drive from Allemühl. It began in 1886, when the master baker Heinrich Strohauer opened a small bakery with a wine room. His son turned it into a café and wine tavern in 1923, the third generation took over as a master confectioner in 1954, and in 1958 the business moved into the building it still occupies. Since 2022 the Camaj family has run the house. The house speciality is the Viktoria von Eberbach torte: fine sponge with a soft cream filling and a note of orange. It goes back to 1962, when Heinrich Strohauer attended a banquet at the Swedish royal court and was taken with an orange dessert served there; a year later one of his tortes was sent by airmail to Queen Elizabeth at Buckingham Palace. Around Christmas the house is known for its Viktoria Christstollen, and both can be ordered through the online shop. The café has about a hundred seats inside, a garden café with around sixty more and a street café with about forty, the outdoor ones depending on the weather. Breakfast is served every day except Sunday until two in the afternoon, with bread rolls, a sweet pastry, homemade jams, honey, cold cuts and cheese. On Sundays and public holidays a breakfast buffet runs until one, adding fruit salad, yoghurt, muesli, herb quark, boiled and scrambled eggs, salmon and tomato with mozzarella. Tables can be reserved, and groups of more than ten are catered for by arrangement on the phone. The café is open daily without a closing day, which makes it an easy morning or afternoon stop on any day of a stay.

Altes Badhaus

Eberbach · Italian · Pizza · Mediterranean

Lindenplatz 1, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 9456406

The Altes Badhaus stands on the Lindenplatz in the traffic calmed old town of Eberbach, about four and a half kilometres from Allemühl. It is a listed building with half timbering outside and rustic cross vaults inside, and the house describes itself as the oldest bath house in Germany. Today it is a small hotel with a restaurant, run by a team that signs as La Grotta. Guests eat in one of three settings: the Badstube under the old vaulted ceiling, the half timbered Fachwerkstube on the upper floor, or in summer on the town terrace under the lime trees of the square, where the house also serves coffee and cake in the afternoon and keeps drinks going for cyclists and walkers. The kitchen calls its line regional and Mediterranean, and the current menu leans clearly Italian. Starters include beetroot carpaccio with burratina from Bari, anchovies and nuts, vitello tonnato, beef carpaccio and a seafood salad. Among the pasta dishes are orecchiette with meatballs and a beef roulade in the Apulian style, gnocchi with mussels, beans and pepperoncino, tagliatelle allo scoglio and spaghetti carbonara alla Romana. From the grill come a large bistecca with rosemary potatoes, a beef fillet with Barolo jus and fried chanterelles, and bollito di manzo with horseradish; there is also a pork fillet with pretzel dumplings and a wild mushroom sauce. Children can choose a small schnitzel, tortellini or a pinsa. Tables can be reserved online, and the rooms take private parties of up to fifty people, from weddings and birthdays to company dinners. The restaurant also caters events in Eberbach and the surrounding area, and parties outside the regular hours can be arranged with the team.

Café Rose

Eberbach · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Vegan

Neuer Markt 5, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 8075650

Café Rose is run by two sisters, Melanie and Madeline, on the Neuer Markt in the middle of Eberbach. The address has a long story: an inn has stood here since 1823, the Brauerei Gasthaus zur Rose, where the local Rosenbräu beer was first brewed and where travellers, traders and townspeople sat together late into the night. The sisters took up the name and turned the place into a café built around breakfast, cake and an easy afternoon. Breakfast is the main event, sweet or savoury, classic or a little more inventive, and two of the breakfasts come in a vegan version as well. Gluten free rolls are available with any breakfast, and there is usually a gluten free cake in the display, though the house points out that it has only one kitchen. The cake counter is filled every day with homemade cakes, small tarts and pastries. On weekdays from half past eleven to two there is a lunch bowl that changes daily, which can be eaten in, ordered ahead by phone or taken away. In summer there are iced drinks from iced latte to matcha, and white wine, rosé and spritz for the terrace. The sunny terrace sits right on the square. Inside, a play corner with a toy kitchen and books keeps small children busy, dogs on a lead are welcome and get a bowl of water, and a side entrance, a toilet and several tables are accessible for wheelchair users. Tables can be reserved by phone, email, Instagram or the form on the website; requests for the next morning should arrive by six the evening before. Birthdays, christenings and other small celebrations can be held in the café by arrangement. Payment is in cash or by German debit card.

Hotel Karpfen

Eberbach · German home cooking · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood

Alter Markt 1, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 806600

The Karpfen sits on the Alter Markt, the old market square of Eberbach, and is hard to miss: its front is covered in sgraffito pictures telling the history of the town, made in 1934 by the artist Richard Hemberger at the suggestion of the innkeeper of the day, Karl Sittig. The house was built in 1804 and has stayed in the same family ever since. Its forebears ran a large timber business, and the inn grew out of hosting the forest owners who came to trade. Over the decades a guest house was joined to the main building, and in the 1990s the family bought the half timbered house next door, one of the oldest in town and once a guild house. Large parts of both are listed. Today it is a hotel with around fifty rooms and a restaurant, where the kitchen is led by master chef and junior owner Patrick Jung. The cooking is regional and changes with the seasons, and the house names its sources: beef from Hesselbach, asparagus from Schwetzingen, wild garlic picked by the team and fresh trout from Friedrichsdorf. The autumn menu shows the style, with pumpkin soup, clear beef broth with bacon semolina dumplings, homemade Maultaschen, ragout of game and venison medallions from the Eberbach hunt with poppy seed Schupfnudeln, braised veal cheeks, turbot from the grill, and vegetarian dishes such as spinach and ricotta ravioli. Desserts include apple fritters and a vanilla crème brûlée. In summer the terrace spreads out across the market square. Cyclists on the Neckar route are welcome to stay a single night, with a lockable room for bikes. The restaurant opens in the evening early in the week and from midday at weekends.

Gasthaus & Pension Grüner Baum

Eberbach · Balkan grill · Mediterranean · German home cooking

Neckarstraße 51, 69412 Eberbach

+49 6271 92400

The Grüner Baum is a small family run inn with guest rooms on Neckarstraße in Eberbach, on the river side of the town and a little over four kilometres from Allemühl in a straight line. The family describes its cooking as Mediterranean and German, with a strong thread of homemade Balkan grill dishes, and puts the emphasis on fresh ingredients, good craft and regional produce where it can. The menu reads like a meeting point of those kitchens. To start there are prawns on avocado cream with garlic baguette, goat's cheese baked in pastry with walnuts and honey, grilled peppers under melted cheese, bruschetta, and a cold platter of smoked meat from Croatia with cheeses and warm homemade pastries. The Balkan section is the heart of it: cevapcici, raznjici pork skewers, pljeskavica stuffed with sheep's cheese, a mixed grill plate and a grill platter for two with lamb chop, grilled vegetables, ajvar and djuvec rice, best eaten with a shopska salad of tomato, cucumber, pepper and white cheese. For those who prefer something else there is tagliata, rump steak, calf's liver, goulash, schnitzel with homemade spätzle, pasta such as truffle tagliatelle or spaghetti with mussels, and fish from salmon and gratinated pike perch to octopus. Desserts include homemade tiramisu and a lemon tartufo with limoncello. In good weather the large beer garden is open, and the house sits close to the Neckar. The restaurant opens in the evenings and from midday on Sundays and public holidays, closes on Tuesdays, and takes bookings for birthdays, weddings and family celebrations. It suits families and groups who want a hearty, generous dinner after a day on the river or the Neckar cycle path.

Dielen-Café im Münsterhof

Ellerhoop · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Ice cream

Thiensen 4, 25373 Ellerhoop

+49 4120 218

The Dielen-Café occupies the Münsterhof at the Arboretum Ellerhoop in Thiensen, bringing coffee and cake into the setting of a historic farmstead and botanical garden. It serves visitors exploring the grounds as well as people coming from outside the park. Cakes, tortes and specialty coffees form the core of the offer, accompanied by other drinks, ice cream and small savory dishes. There is a terrace beside the café, giving a coffee stop an outdoor setting within the garden complex. The surrounding arboretum combines tree collections with themed planting, a traditional cottage garden and a lake known for its lotus flowers. Its changing displays give visitors different reasons to return throughout the growing season. The café also accommodates organized visits and private gatherings. Groups can arrange light lunches or coffee and cake, while birthday parties and funeral gatherings can be catered for with a shared coffee table. Breakfast can be arranged for groups of at least twenty people. These offers are coordinated through the arboretum office, which asks organizers to make contact by email. The café is usable by wheelchair visitors, and an accessible toilet is located beside it in the Münsterhof. Free parking is available at the entrance, with bicycle stands also provided for people arriving on two wheels. Operated within the arboretum's charitable association, the café connects a straightforward refreshment stop with a much larger landscape of horticulture, tree study and garden design.

Restaurant Seegarten

Barmstedt · Italian · Pizza · Cakes and pastries

Seestraße 10, 25355 Barmstedt

+49 4123 9226590

Restaurant Seegarten stands beside the Rantzauer See in Barmstedt, with a bright conservatory and a spacious terrace overlooking the water. It belongs to the hotel of the same name, but its restaurant, café offer and bar give it several different roles around the lake. A meal can center on Italian dishes, while coffee and a changing selection of cakes provide a lighter reason to stop. The menu ranges from bruschetta, minestrone and antipasti to pasta and pizza. Spaghetti with anchovies, capers and olives appears alongside gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce and penne with vegetables. Pizza choices include a simple margherita, a vegetable version and combinations with seafood or cured ham. This breadth makes the restaurant useful for a table whose members want different kinds of dishes. Coffee is accompanied by a cake and torte buffet, with tea available as an alternative. The drinks selection also includes wine, beer and cocktails, and the hotel bar offers another setting for meeting friends or family. A separate lunch offer adds variety alongside the main menu. Guests can reserve a table by telephone, and the restaurant offers its food for collection after a phone order. Celebrations are another part of the business, supported by menu and buffet arrangements. The combination of conservatory seating and the lakeside terrace makes the setting a defining part of Seegarten, whether the visit is built around a full meal or a quieter coffee break.

Restaurant Zum alten Markt

Barmstedt · German home cooking · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood

Kuhberg 4-6, 25355 Barmstedt

+49 4123 2762

Zum alten Markt on Kuhberg combines a traditional Barmstedt restaurant with guest rooms and an extensive catering business. North German home cooking sits alongside international dishes, and the kitchen emphasizes choosing regional ingredients wherever possible. The dining room seats fifty-five people, with another thirty places on the terrace when the weather suits eating outdoors. Fish is a substantial part of the menu. Choices include pan-fried plaice, redfish, pikeperch and a mixed fish plate, together with Hamburg-style pannfisch. Meat dishes follow similarly familiar lines: schnitzel, cordon bleu, rump steak, roast beef and calf's liver with onions and apple. Potato accompaniments recur throughout, from fried potatoes to croquettes and rösti. Vegetarian diners have a vegetable patty and a vegetable bake among the alternatives. Smaller appetites are covered by soups, salads and lighter plates, while the children's section includes small schnitzel, chicken nuggets and a hamburger. Desserts include homemade chocolate mousse, pancakes and mascarpone cream, as well as ice cream. A changing lunch selection complements the main menu. The restaurant also plans birthdays, anniversaries, company gatherings and other celebrations, discussing menus or buffets with organizers. Its catering service extends to garden parties, receptions and events at outside venues, with equipment and service arrangements available. Guest rooms in the same property add an accommodation option for people attending a celebration. Together, these services give the house a role beyond an ordinary restaurant table, while its food remains rooted in recognizable regional favorites.
