Fine dining at the highest level
Haute cuisine without the frills
This is the philosophy behind Ammolite. The focus is on fresh, seasonal produce from sustainable agriculture. The menus follow the principle of 'less is more' - each dish brings out the pure, unadulterated flavour of its ingredients. Guests can choose from two exclusive eight-course menus, paired with hand-picked wines from sommelier Sascha Schmidt's extensive list.
Exclusive cuisine in a unique setting
Located in the lighthouse of the 4* superior hotel 'Bell Rock', the restaurant was designed by renowned interior designer Claudio Carbone.

Best season in history: more than six million visitors come to Europa-Park for the first time in 2022
In the 2022 season, for the first time in its almost-50-year history, Germany's largest theme park exceeded six million visitors, representing a significant expansion of its market leadership. Europa-Park owner Roland Mack says, “We see this record as a huge vote of confidence from our visitors, and one that comes in a difficult year in which war, supply problems, inflation and the energy crisis have been making things difficult for all of us. People are looking for leisure and balance, and the Europa-Park Resort, alongside the Rulantica water world, offers just that, which is an attractive travel destination in its own right. The beds of the hotel resort, which number approximately 5,800 hotel beds, were also often fully booked in 2022. In November, the internationally acclaimed new restaurant of the future ‘Eatrenalin’ was opened. A total of over 80 million Euros have been invested within three years.”
