The whiskey tasting in the Hotel and Restaurant Mutter Althoff in Olfen was an absolutely unforgettable experience that was convincing in every respect. The carefully selected range of whiskeys offered something special for every taste. From Säntis Malt to the smoky St. Kilian peated, the Millstone Single Malt, Armorik, Waterford, Signatory Very Cloudy and the crowning glory with the Laphroaig PX Cask - the variety and quality of the whiskeys was impressive.The presenter was a real whiskey expert. With his extensive knowledge, he patiently answered all questions and enriched the tasting with exciting background information about each whiskey. His relaxed and personable manner contributed to a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere in which everyone felt comfortable.The evening began in style with an aperitif: whiskey refined with ginger ale and a slice of lemon, a refreshing introduction to what was to come. The accompanying menu was a culinary delight. A beetroot and apple soup with milk foam opened the dinner, followed by a salmon praline on crispy rösti with a delicious dip. The grilled pork loin, whose intense aroma had to be soaked up with bread, was simply excellent, and the entrecôte sous vide topped it all off. For dessert there was a delicately melting chocolate mousse, combined with a refreshing passion fruit sorbet – a real treat for the palate. The menu was rounded off with an excellent selection of cheese.Particularly noteworthy is the attention to detail in the kitchen. For each course, the chefs explained the preparation and origin of the dishes, which mostly consisted of regional ingredients and were of outstanding quality. The service was extremely attentive, friendly and always proactive, which made the entire experience perfect.Overall, it was a fantastic evening in which the harmonious interplay of exquisite whiskeys, perfectly coordinated dishes and the knowledge of the presenter led to a unique enjoyment. Each whiskey was explained precisely and comprehensibly, and other whiskey brands and current developments on the whiskey market were also discussed in detail. An all-round successful event that will delight both whiskey lovers and connoisseurs of culinary delicacies!

We were playing mini golf with our son and wanted to go somewhere nice to eat afterwards. We quickly decided to go to Mother Althoff's, as my wife and I only knew it from our childhood and had positive memories of it.We entered the restaurant at around 1:05 p.m. and got a nice table. The menu was pretty straightforward, which is never a bad sign. We ordered the veal Wienerschnitzel three times. Twice with stewed potatoes and once with fries. After we ordered, a greeting came from the kitchen with some baguette, olives and spread. Then at some point a really tiny side salad arrived. And then it finally happened around 2:10 p.m. Our schnitzels came. The schnitzel was OK. However, the side dish was very bland. The potatoes were very dry and floury. The lemon is always very important to me in a Wienerschnitzel. There was only one slice, strangely garnished with anchovies.The service was very slow the entire time. You even had to wait 10 minutes to pay. It was already clear to us that you don't eat fast food here. But when you see what we ordered here, you know that this isn't rocket science. We finally got out again at around 2:40 p.m. This visit was stressful for us because of all the waiting. The prices were high, as was the ambience. Unfortunately the food and the inattentive service are not.

Stayed there for one night on the bike tour in summer 2024... Located on the main street. Friendly, short reception. Unfortunately, the restaurant was closed that evening (I was kindly informed about this by phone in good time. As compensation there was a big shandy on the house 🍺). The room was large and standard, but completely sufficient for one night. Breakfast okay, there is certainly still room for improvement. The bike was parked safely in the yard and monitored by a camera. There is a beautiful, cozy beer garden behind the house. Overall, a clean and good accommodation for transit😀

Only restaurant rating We went to dinner today, it was very disappointing, the chanterelle soup would have tasted good if it hadn't been too salty, you had to look for the chanterelles, I found 2 small ones 😕. …

We ordered a table today, which was confirmed by email, and found ourselves in front of a locked door. There was no notice and no information, and no one could be reached by phone.Very unprofessional and disappointing with the journey we had.

We stayed there overnight on a bike tour in mid-June 2024 and had a really good time.The staff were without exception nice, courteous and friendly, the food was excellent (thanks again to the kitchen) and the rooms were spacious and well-equipped, so we can only recommend both the restaurant and the hotel.
