Restaurant 1718

Sit down with friends,enjoy the savoir-vivre of the restaurant
and
have a good time together.

With the popular bouillabaisse 1718, the fine fish dishes or the dessert tarte tatin
On the menu, head chef Lars Wolf sets distinctive Francophile accents.

The new and expanded wine list is completely different: it focuses on the Palatinate and the wineries around
and the wineries around Deidesheim, but also looks beyond the region and features numerous exquisite national and international wines in its portfolio.

For both the fireplace room and the fountain room, the light-flooded interior in
Characteristic black and white. While the stylish combination of baroque elements and modern furnishings in the rooms creates a cozy feeling of comfort,
in summer, a seat on the terrace with a wonderful view of
the
idyllic inner courtyard and park.

By the way… The name – the year 1718 – goes back to the founding father of the now neighboring winery Geh. Council Dr. von Bassermann-Jordan back. In the same year, Peter Jordan, originally from France, acquired the first vineyards in Deidesheim and his descendants later acquired the Ketschauer Hof estate with the manor house.

The love of pleasure and wine as well as the close connection to France
seem to have been part of Restaurant 1718’s DNA from the very beginning.

Team

There is no doubt that his time at the Poisson restaurant in Cologne left its mark on him: It was there that the foundations for his passion for French cuisine were laid and it was certainly there that his professional expertise in fish came from.

acting restaurant manager

…works as a restaurant manager in the RIVA restaurant and is currently acting head of Service 1718. In addition to his role in operational service, he sees himself as the first point of contact for his team. He coordinates the services, the people and everything around them, preferably after 10 o’clock.

His passion is not his job, but above all his son.
And when he does find time for himself, it’s for building blocks, audio books and computer games.

I love my job, the daily challenge and the people in my team.

Demi Chef of the rank

…came to our company via a recommendation and has been with us since November 2023. He currently supports both the RIVA restaurant and the 1718 restaurant. “However, he fell head over heels in love with Restaurant 1718. Why? Because of the French dishes, because of the special interior design…

In his free time, he likes to spend time with his girlfriend and the two of them enjoy ice skating. However, he can also get something good out of cozy evenings with friends while gaming and enjoying a good glass of wine.

I'm excited to see what awaits me here and I'm really looking forward to my job at Restaurant 1718.
