Stuhr · Mediterranean · German home cooking · Steak and grill
Wulfhooperstraße 22, 28816 Stuhr
Gasthaus Martens stands in Wulfhoop, a quiet rural part of Stuhr east of Heiligenrode, and its story goes back to 1928 and Gesine Martens. Four generations ran and modernised the inn before it passed to new owners in August 2020, who kept the name and the character of a cosy village Gasthaus. The kitchen mixes hearty North German cooking with Mediterranean dishes, and the menu shows both sides clearly. On the local side there is Bremer Knipp fried crisp and served in the pan with fried potatoes, apple sauce and gherkin, a homemade beef roulade with red cabbage, calf's liver Berlin style with apples and onions, and ham in aspic with homemade remoulade. Steaks and pork medallions are grilled on lava stone, and the house burger uses Black Angus beef with the restaurant's own spoon fries. Fish lovers can order salmon fillet, pike perch with saffron sauce, sea bream in truffle sauce or the Martens fish platter. The Mediterranean side brings bruschetta on homemade ciabatta, baked sheep's cheese, six kinds of tarte flambée and pasta, including a vegan pasta with market vegetables in a coconut curry sauce. Children have a short menu of their own. Wednesday is Schnitzel Parade night, and the seasonal cards change through the year with chanterelles, asparagus, kale, a Wulfhoop game menu and goose to take away. In summer the beer garden opens with a view into the green. The rooms take parties of up to one hundred people, from christenings and weddings to company Christmas dinners, and the team also caters events elsewhere.

Ellerhoop · Cakes and pastries · Cafe · Ice cream
Thiensen 4, 25373 Ellerhoop
The Dielen-Café occupies the Münsterhof at the Arboretum Ellerhoop in Thiensen, bringing coffee and cake into the setting of a historic farmstead and botanical garden. It serves visitors exploring the grounds as well as people coming from outside the park. Cakes, tortes and specialty coffees form the core of the offer, accompanied by other drinks, ice cream and small savory dishes. There is a terrace beside the café, giving a coffee stop an outdoor setting within the garden complex. The surrounding arboretum combines tree collections with themed planting, a traditional cottage garden and a lake known for its lotus flowers. Its changing displays give visitors different reasons to return throughout the growing season. The café also accommodates organized visits and private gatherings. Groups can arrange light lunches or coffee and cake, while birthday parties and funeral gatherings can be catered for with a shared coffee table. Breakfast can be arranged for groups of at least twenty people. These offers are coordinated through the arboretum office, which asks organizers to make contact by email. The café is usable by wheelchair visitors, and an accessible toilet is located beside it in the Münsterhof. Free parking is available at the entrance, with bicycle stands also provided for people arriving on two wheels. Operated within the arboretum's charitable association, the café connects a straightforward refreshment stop with a much larger landscape of horticulture, tree study and garden design.

Stuhr · German home cooking · Steak and grill · Burgers
Heiligenroder Str. 72, 28816 Stuhr
The Meyerhof in Heiligenrode has been a hotel and restaurant since 1815, and it is the kind of large country inn that a village in the Bremen hinterland builds its celebrations around. The house has a restaurant, a big hall, a winter garden, a fireplace room called the Kamindiele, a beer garden and a summer terrace, so there is somewhere pleasant to sit in any weather. Function rooms carry names such as the Kardinalzimmer, the Jagdzimmer and the Buddenbrock, and the main hall of almost 280 square metres can be set up for very large parties, with space overall for gatherings from ten to around 350 people. The cooking is regional and seasonal. The menu reads like a tour of northern Germany: Heiligenrode chicken soup, original Bremen Labskaus, Knipp from the pan, Hamburg Pannfisch, a large North Sea plaice Finkenwerder style and Kibbeling, alongside beef roulades, half a duck, venison ragout and grilled pork medallions. Vegetarians can order baked Camembert or a salad plate from the buffet. Wednesday is Schnitzel day and Thursday is Burger day, and the year brings an Easter buffet, an asparagus season opening with a large buffet and festive menus at Christmas and New Year. Upstairs are fourteen rooms, and the house is Bett+Bike certified, with a locked shelter and charging for e-bikes, a place to dry wet gear and tools for small repairs, which makes it a natural stop for cyclists. Coach groups and motorcycle groups are welcome, and the family also hires out grill, beer and cooling trailers for parties at home.
Kirchseelte · German home cooking · Fish and seafood · Cakes and pastries
Dorfstraße 23, 27243 Kirchseelte
The Dreimädelhaus is a lovingly restored country inn under a thatched roof in Kirchseelte, a village in the Wildeshauser Geest nature park just south of Stuhr. The land has been in the same family since 1600 and the main building dates from 1767, when Ahrend Ahrents built it; he brewed beer, distilled grain spirit and served as royal forester and customs officer, because the nearby Klosterbach once marked a border. The name, the House of Three Maidens, arrived in the 1920s with owner Heinrich Ahrents and his three daughters, at a time when the new railway brought weekend visitors out from Bremen. Today the house is restaurant, hotel and event venue in one. The kitchen combines traditional seasonal dishes with modern cooking and relies on producers from the area. The menu names its sources: Knipp from Hof Lehmkuhl, beef from the Wesermarsch, veal from Kirchseelte, game from local hunting. Expect a Kirchseelte wedding soup, venison ragout with forest mushrooms, Schnitzel Wiener Art made from local game, Pannfisch with Dijon mustard sauce, and vegetarian plates such as grilled aubergine with ratatouille or a stuffed pepper with vegetable couscous. Children get their own small menu and an activity bag to pass the waiting time. Breakfast is served as a buffet every morning to outside guests as well, with a longer Sunday breakfast, and at weekends there is coffee and cake in the afternoon. Outside there is a terrace looking over the garden, a natural pond and a playground, and the historic thatched hall takes celebrations of up to one hundred guests, including weddings in the garden.

Stuhr · German home cooking · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood
Zum Steller See 17, 28816 Stuhr
Restaurant Steller See sits right on the shore of the Steller See, a small lake beside Groß Mackenstedt on the western side of Stuhr, and is the closest proper dinner option to the house. Guests can eat inside in the restaurant or, when the weather allows, outside in the beer garden by the water. The team describes its aim simply: people should feel at ease at a nicely laid table, and every dish is cooked fresh in the kitchen. The menu is broad and unpretentious. Starters include bruschetta, dates wrapped in bacon and baked Camembert with cranberries. There is a Schnitzel card made only from pork loin, with versions such as the Tiroler Schnitzel with fried mushrooms and onions, a Schnitzel Athener Art filled with feta and mild peppers, and a hot Schnitzel Diavolo with a sambal hollandaise. From the grill come Argentinian rump steaks, among them the Rumpsteak Stuhrer Art with herb butter, mushrooms and onions, and a mixed grill plate. Fish means fried pike perch on Mediterranean vegetables or matjes herring with fried potatoes, and vegetarians can choose ricotta and spinach mezzelune or a salad named after the lake itself. North German classics such as Knipp and a Bauernfrühstück round it off. Tables can be booked through a form on the website. Note the seasons: the house closes for its annual holiday from early October to early November, then keeps shorter winter hours from Wednesday to Sunday, and in the off season it hosts private parties for roughly forty to eighty guests.
