About the Hanse Stube

Welcome to the Hanse Stube

The restaurant Hanse Stube is well-known for its elegant and friendly atmosphere. Due to its excellent cuisine, the Hanse Stube was several times awarded a prize and has become famous in Germany. Since decades people from Cologne, as well as international guests have been enjoying innovative French cuisine combined with regional influences.

Service traditions are especially maintained at the Hanse Stube. Our restaurant manager Sonja Winkels and her team provide excellent service quality and indulge their guests fulfilling their wishes. The maître d`Hôtel personally carves many courses at the guests’ table in an exclusive and comfortable ambiance.

Culinary delectation demands corresponding wines and therefore our sommeliere Theresa Stenzel, helps you to make the right choice, regarding the versatile wines offered in the wine cellar of the Excelsior Hotel Ernst.

While designing the interior, Count Pilati underlined the restaurant’s tasteful character with mahogany panelled and inviting niche tables. The two side rooms, Spiegelsalon and Fischsalon, offer privacy for small banquets. In summer, you can have lunch or dine at our Mediterranean patio.

Gourmets appreciate our head chef Bernhard Stützer and his kitchen team for its accuracy and ingenuity. They draw their inspiration from regional influence to combine it with French cuisine.
