The story
Restaurant Wels in Bad Zwischenahn serves a vibrant German regional cuisine rooted in the Eyhauser Bucht, where Tanja Hullmann opened the doors in April 1998. The kitchen highlights fresh fish and wild game sourced from the surrounding area, a quality noted by the Schlemmer Atlas with two spoons. The menu also features the personal favorite dishes of the restaurant team, adding a touch of insider knowledge to every plate.
Sunlight fills the dining room, creating the refreshing atmosphere praised by critics for its welcoming light. Patrons frequently visit for the freshly baked cakes and small delicacies made on-site each day. These homemade sweets provide a perfect end to meals of local fish and game, rounding out the experience of authentic lakeside dining.
The restaurant overlooks the water, placing guests near the site where a massive 3.50-meter catfish was spotted decades ago. The New York Times reported on the original sighting, drawing anglers to the bay ever since. Visitors combine the hunt for the legendary Riesenwels with a relaxed meal featuring robust German cooking, supporting a loyal mix of neighbors and repeat guests.
