Live Cooking during the Christmas days

Extensive Christmas buffet

During the Christmas dinner, an extensive Christmas buffet is ready for you with a wide selection of hot and cold dishes. At the Live Cooking stations, our chefs prepare various dishes fresh and à la minute. This way, you can compose your favorite Christmas dinner throughout the evening and sample the offerings extensively. Of course, a festive ending should not be missed. So save some room for the extensive Christmas dessert buffet, where various sweet treats are waiting for you.

Christmas Dinner with Children

Christmas for the whole family

We also make the Live Cooking Christmas Dinner a party for children. In addition to the regular Christmas buffet, there is a special children's buffet and the youngest guests can enjoy themselves in the play corner full of Christmas activities.

And of course, Santa Claus cannot be missing. He visits the hotel during the Christmas dinner and has brought a gift for the children. So there is plenty to experience between meals and the whole family enjoys the Christmas days together.

Christmas Atmosphere and Live Music

Festive Enjoyment

During the Live Cooking Christmas Dinner, live music adds extra atmosphere to the restaurant. While our chefs prepare the dishes for you and you enjoy the extensive Christmas buffet, suitable music is played and the restaurant is fully decorated in the Christmas spirit.

Take plenty of time to dine together, catch up, and toast to the holidays. Whether you celebrate Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or Boxing Day with us: everything revolves around a relaxed and festive evening together.
