Gastronomy at Hessenpark
The physical well-being is as important to us as the hospitality of our guests.
Marketplace 11
Hessian gourmet cuisine & café
The Restaurant & Café is located directly at the picturesque market place of the Open Air Museum Hessenpark and is situated in the Landhotel Zum Hessenpark. During the day we serve delicious coffee, homemade cakes and small hearty dishes. In the evening, the focus is on a fine and elegant selection of also Hessian classics, which we interpret in a modern way. Our chefs will spoil you with many products from the open-air museum's own farm, creating dishes that will delight you in terms of taste and quality.
From the region
We are a member of Hessen á la Carte and our kitchen director, Raphael Reichardt, is a Euro-Toques Deutschland e.V. - member, because we want to preserve natural food and traditional recipes. We are therefore committed to the diversity of regional and European heritage and thus ensure the continued existence of regional products and the originality of traditional dishes. The processing of products directly from producers in our region, is the basis of our sustainable actions.
Daily updated dishes
Changing dish of beef from the Hessenpark
In the Bioland-certified open-air museum, the Red High Altitude Cattle is bred, which used to be used as a domestic breed in many farms. From the delicate meat of these cattle we offer changing dishes. Since we use the whole animal according to our philosophy, all dishes are only available while stocks last. Therefore, please ask for the current dishes next to our menu.
By the way:
The Giessener Marktzeile, of which this building is the left end, is an exception in the Hessenpark. It was not translocated, i.e. dismantled at the original site and rebuilt in the open-air museum. Rather, the façade of the Marktzeile was reconstructed on the basis of historical photographic material (some of which is on display in our restaurant) and represents a composition of various buildings that once stood in Giessen at different points on the market square. The former "Haus Kaminka", where our restaurant is located, housed a pharmacy or a jewelry store at the original location and had the address "Marktplatz 11".
