Michelin-Starred Chef Alexander Mayer Takes Over as Head Chef at Eatrenalin – New Menu and Exclusive Events Starting in March

The unique fine-dining experience Eatrenalin at Europa-Park is embarking on a new culinary journey. With Alexander Mayer, a multi-award-winning Michelin-starred chef, taking over the kitchen leadership, the restaurant is set to reach new gastronomic heights. Guests can look forward to a completely redesigned menu from late March, blending classic elegance with modern, international influences. In addition, an exclusive “Eatrenalin Chef’s Special” in May will combine culinary sophistication with extraordinary entertainment.

A Michelin-Starred Chef for a One-of-a-Kind Concept

Eatrenalin is known for fusing high-end gastronomy with a multi-sensory experience, immersing guests in a world of visual, auditory, and tactile impressions. The restaurant takes diners on a journey through different “enjoyment spheres,” where ambiance and cuisine seamlessly complement one another. With Alexander Mayer at the helm, this concept is set to evolve with fresh creativity and a refined culinary signature.

Mayer’s passion for haute cuisine was shaped during his training under the renowned French Michelin-starred chef Jean-Claude Bourgueil at the restaurant *Im Schiffchen* in Düsseldorf-Kaiserswerth. His career then led him through some of Germany’s finest restaurants and luxury hotels, where he gained invaluable experience. As head chef at *Wintergarten* in *Brenners Park-Hotel & Spa* in Baden-Baden, he earned 16 Gault&Millau points and seven pans in the Gusto gourmet guide. Most recently, he led the kitchen at the *Atlantic Restaurant* in Hamburg’s famous Grand Hotel on the Außenalster, where he secured a Michelin star. His exceptional talent was also recognized by the prestigious magazine *Der Feinschmecker*, which named him “Chef of the Month” in May 2024.

Mayer had been following the development of Eatrenalin with great interest since its opening. “I was fascinated by this innovative and unique concept from the very beginning. When the opportunity arose to take over as head chef, I didn’t hesitate for a second,” he said about his new role. Together with a highly motivated team in the kitchen and service, he aims to create unparalleled culinary experiences that not only meet but exceed the expectations of international guests.

A New Culinary Vision with a Modern Twist

The core structure of Eatrenalin’s menu remains unchanged, with an exquisite eight-course selection offering meat, vegetarian, and vegan options. However, under Mayer’s leadership, the menu will be completely redesigned to reflect his personal style. His culinary philosophy is a fusion of French classics, contemporary refinement, and Asian influences, bringing guests bold and innovative flavors.

Starting in late March, visitors will be able to experience a completely reimagined menu. Mayer’s vision goes beyond taste alone—he aims to enhance the synergy between the dishes and the unique ambiance of each *enjoyment sphere*. Every course will not only reflect the atmosphere of its corresponding space but will actively contribute to the immersive, multi-sensory concept of Eatrenalin.

Thomas Mack, managing director of Eatrenalin and Europa-Park’s co-owner, warmly welcomes Mayer to the team. “I extend my heartfelt thanks to our previous head chefs, Juliana Clementz and Ties van Oosten, for their inspiring creations over the past two years. With Alexander Mayer, our guests can look forward to an innovative menu that harmoniously blends classic elegance with modern sophistication. We are excited for the exceptional flavors ahead and the journey we will embark on together,” said Mack about the transition.

Exclusive “Eatrenalin Chef’s Special” in May

In addition to the launch of the new menu, Eatrenalin will host a special highlight in May: the first-ever *Eatrenalin Chef’s Special*. This exclusive event, curated by Alexander Mayer himself, will take guests on an extraordinary culinary journey featuring a unique eight-course menu, enriched with seasonal delights such as fresh asparagus and strawberries.

During the event, Mayer will personally welcome guests and offer exclusive insights into his culinary creations. The evening’s ambiance will be elevated with live DJ beats, while the stylish *Eatrenalin Bar* provides the perfect setting for an extraordinary gastronomic experience.

The Future of Eatrenalin Under Alexander Mayer

With Mayer leading the kitchen brigade, Eatrenalin continues to push the boundaries of fine dining. His expertise as a Michelin-starred chef, combined with his passion for innovation, promises to redefine the restaurant’s culinary identity. His goal is not only to refine the existing concept but also to establish new benchmarks in the world of immersive gastronomy.

As Eatrenalin steps into this exciting new chapter, guests can anticipate a host of creative developments in the months ahead. With Europa-Park strengthening its reputation as a premier destination for extraordinary dining experiences, Eatrenalin once again proves that fine dining can go far beyond conventional restaurant concepts.
