ammolite - The Lighthouse Restaurant

For many moons, whenever we'd visit Europa-Park, we'd use one of the many buffet restaurants, which was fine, with us all being kids. As we grew, however, so did our culinary expectations and, eventually, the buffet just didn't cut it anymore. Luckily, around the same time, Ammolite and the Hotel Bell Rock around it were erected (don't even!). We've dined there many times since then, so a review has been long overdue. Tonight, I rectified this oversight on my part.Meal: It’s almost mid-February, we were there in late December. I can’t possibly recall what the seven courses were, apart from moan-inducingly delicious. You plan your first taste of each dish, carefully arrange a tiny bit of ever...

We went there as we've come several times with our kids to Europapark and thought we should try this restaurant once.The service is friendly but you sometimes need to ask several times to get something.

My expectations were high. Two stars means it should be pretty d good. However the prices are not as high as in quite a lot other restaurants on this level. The restaurant is excellent and we were not disappointed. The setting is sophisticated. The food is delicious and beautiful. The service is very effective, pleasant and attentive but they need to sharpen up when they present the food. It was no problem to change dessert from one menu to the other. Expect your meal to take at least three hours.

We were uncertain when booking this for a birthday celebration whether a restaurant in a theme park could really be worth 2 Michelin stars. Happily it was well worth it. The restaurant decor is very interesting and a luxurious contrast to the hotel in which it is located. Food was excellent and service good. Wine list had some great choices and the sommelier was excellent.
