Hanse Stube

The Excelsior Hotel Ernst next to Cologne Cathedral is steeped in tradition and is home to the Hanse Stube restaurant in which you will be served sublime French cuisine with both an innovative flair and strong regional influences. Excelsior means very elevated or high quality and is the main principle of head chef Claudia Schröter, who manages to deliver a high quality and varied offering. Alongside the regular set menu, the Hanse Stube also offers a special wine menu, which is regularly updated and changed to incorporate new ideas. At lunch time, you can take advantage of the business lunch, which can be prepared in less than 59 minutes. The exacting standards and creativity in the kitchen, coupled with the dignified character of the restaurant, with its mahogany boarding and cosy corner tables, really go to highlight what the restaurant stands for, and afford guests of the Hanse Stube in the Excelsior Hotel Ernst a first class experience.
