Eatrenalin

Amazing experience, food was mostly outstanding. Being able to take photos should be allowed in all rooms. And the constant signage asking for tips at the end was very off putting. but all in all, a very well put together experience.

It's a great experience, I love how a thrill ride and fine dining experience are put together here for one of the best experiences I had. The food tasted very good and the wines were well paired. The staff completed the whole experience.

We visited this venue as part of a corporate event. The arrival area creates a positive first impression; the entrance is well designed and the reception staff are courteous. At this stage, the atmosphere suggests a high-end experience and gives the impression that one is entering a fine-dining restaurant. However, this expectation is not met once the program starts. Guests are seated on moving chairs and guided through a multi-room show concept. While it is presented as a gastronomic journey, the overall experience is much closer to an amusement-park attraction than a Michelin-level restaurant. Some of the seating involves vibrations and movement. In my view, the vibration intensity was higher than expected and may be problematic for guests with sensitive stomachs or those who are prone to motion issues. Several reviews mention similar concerns, and based on my own impression, this is something guests should be aware of in advance. Throughout the evening, guests are reminded about photography rules, which felt inconsistent. In certain areas taking pictures is encouraged, while in others it is not permitted. Staff actively monitor this and may intervene. This level of restriction felt excessive in a restaurant setting and detracted from the overall experience. The culinary part of the evening consists mainly of small tasting portions presented across several themed rooms. While some elements are visually appealing, the quality and taste of the food did not meet the expectations that come with the price category or the reputation associated with fine dining. Portions sometimes emphasised one taste component to an extreme degree, without options to balance or neutralise it. The presentation varied from room to room, at times requiring guests to eat while reclining in the moving chair, which feels unusual for a high-priced dining event. Lighting and ventilation in several rooms were noticeably challenging. Some rooms were very dim, which made appreciating the food difficult, and the ventilation was insufficient, causing strong food smells to remain on clothing. This is particularly significant in rooms where onion-heavy dishes are prepared behind curtains close to the seating area. The show elements rely heavily on projections and flashing lights. Guests who have migraine tendencies or photosensitivity should be aware that these effects are used repeatedly and were not mentioned beforehand. The “spaceship” simulation, in my opinion, appeared technically outdated, with clearly visible LED panel structures. This reduced the immersive effect. The main course was nicely arranged, but photography is not permitted in that area, which again felt inconsistent with the rest of the evening. The meat quality and overall flavour profile were average rather than exceptional. The bread accompanying the meal was noticeably overbaked. The bar at the end of the experience is small and offers a limited drink selection. Some staff members were polite and attentive; others appeared less experienced, and communication in German was at times difficult. Overall, this venue is best described in my opnion as a show with food rather than a dining experience with theatrical elements. Guests who enjoy themed attractions may appreciate the concept. However, anyone expecting fine dining, culinary excellence or a Michelin-level standard will likely be disappointed. From my perspective, the experience does not justify the price when evaluated as a restaurant.

Very interesting experience! Fine dining meets theme park. Been to numerous Michelin restaurants, so was hesitant between this one and ammolite. But definitely made the right choice. The service in the lounge and bar were great, in the rooms a bit mechanical. I enjoyed the pace, but dor my girlfriend it moved a bit to fast. Expensive but worth it! Foto’s only from the rooms it was allowed.

The food at “Season 7” of Eatrenalin is not dissimilar to previously. There are some real standouts - Ocean and the dessert being the best, also the carrot soup in the Lounge. Others are okay to good, but often suffer from a lack of flavour intensity or poor texture. You’ll also find that one drinks has been removed from the experience - you no longer receive a glass of wine after the Lounge, which means there’s now an awkward moment of nothing in the Waterfall room. There’s also an inconsistency in whether your glass is going to be topped up or not - that appears to be pot luck. One nice addition that has been around for a while now, are the menu cards that accompany each room and can be taken as a souvenir. What’s inexplicable is that those cards are only provided in German and French. Luckily our German/French isn’t too bad, because I don’t want to fumbling around with a phone scanning QR codes to find out what I’m eating. I say that it’s inexplicable because Eatrenalin have managed to print just two of the cards that they provide you In English - the no filming card and the tip card. These are clearly more important than knowing what you’re eating. The biggest issue with Eatrenalin however is the bar. The drinks, specifically the cocktails, range from okay (for their price point) to really poor. They often lack balance, being overpowered by one overbearing flavour. That’s not what you should expect from a high end bar. The menu is pretentious - listing often obscure or abstract ingredients without providing you with a proper idea of what the drink might be. The scales indicating sweetness, alcohol etc are a good idea but are often not consistent with the drink that arrives. The worst thing however is the service in the bar. It is extraordinarily poor for an establishment that markets and prices itself as high end. The advice is slow, inattentive, lacking in knowledge, friendliness and even competence. We were left with empty drinks every time (often for long periods), and every time had to call for service. The servers seemed distracted and seemed to often drift between bar and back of house, stopping in between to seem to check their phones. The service, when we could get it, was often surly - we received no welcome, no introduction to or explanation of the menu. Our snacks were taken without explanation, whilst the same time empty glasses left. Drinks were brought without saying which one was which - quite a problem when they’re two similar cocktails. When asked how our experience was on the way out, we relayed our enjoyment of the food but disappointment at the bar service. It was met with a grimace and not much else. Please don’t get your staff to ask how an experience was as if there’s nothing they’re going to do when you give them feedback. Overall, I can recommend the food albeit there’s room for improvement. The drinks and specifically the bar are very poor for the level of experience one should expect - you’ll often receive better service in the Europa Park hotel bars.

If you have the possibility to eat here, you definitely should. The food is delicious and the 'ride' is just so original and surprising. Will recommend everyone to visit this place! Seemed expensive at first, but it's totally value for money

An other worldly experience. We absolutely enjoyed the experience. The best way to explain eatrenalin is not in terms of the food and drinks but as an extremely creative and technologically sophisticated performance in the presentation of the food. This will definitely pave the way for many more immersive dining experiences. The way all your senses are kept alive throughout the show is very impressive. The food and drinks were very nice especially the beef cheek in the main course and the cheese cake based dessert. The show is entirely in german or French except the final narration which was in English. We do not speak any german or French and still quite liked the show. Hopefully they will soon have a show in English which would be more enjoyable.

Everything was really nice, the only thing is we had technical problems in two rooms with one room not working at all and staff did continue everything as if everything worked. We didn't even get an excuse, minimum would have been at least a free cocktail at the end but still paid full price for a not full experience unfortunately.
