Eifelhaus, Restaurant and café at Obersee, Simmerath, Germany
Eifelhaus is a restaurant and café overlooking Obersee lake in Simmerath. The place features both an indoor dining area and a terrace along with a beer garden where guests can sit.
The building was originally a school before being converted after the Obersee reservoir was built. This change to a dining venue reflects how the area transformed when the valley was flooded.
The kitchen sources ingredients from local Eifel farmers and keeps regional food traditions alive through its cooking. This connection to nearby producers shapes how the menu changes with the seasons.
The venue sits right by the lake and is easy to reach from walking trails in the area. Visitors can come straight from hiking routes to relax on the terrace by the water.
The place roasts its own coffee on site in a small roastery. Fresh cakes and ice cream are also made daily in their own kitchen, adding to the homemade feel of the place.
