Haus Kartheiser Wirtshaus Is Coming Soon
Haus Kartheiser Wirtshaus is preparing to bring a chef-led German comfort kitchen to 1501 LaSalle Street in Ottawa. The restaurant will launch inside the renovated VFW hall with dinner service, house signatures, and custom event menus built around schnitzel, wurst, spätzle, rotkohl, rich sauces, and warm hospitality.
The goal is simple: create a polished but approachable Wirtshaus experience that stands on its own as a restaurant while also supporting weddings, hall events, private dinners, and special programming inside the space.
The First Pieces of the Wirtshaus
The opening plan is being built around food, room experience, event flexibility, and a clear public launch path.
Dinner Service
Thursday through Sunday dinner service centered on German comfort plates, chef specials, and a warm room experience.
House Signatures
Schnitzel, wurst, spätzle, rotkohl, sauerbraten, Käsespätzle, pretzels, rich sauces, and classic sides.
Private Events
Custom plated dinners, buffets, and chef-led event menus for weddings, hall rentals, and private gatherings.
Renovated Hall
A warmer gathering space shaped with stronger food identity, deeper room atmosphere, and event-ready hospitality.
What Is in Motion
Dinner-First, Comfort-Forward, Event-Ready
The Wirtshaus will open around a dinner-first model. Guests can expect a warm room, approachable German comfort food, chef-led specials, and a menu designed to work for both regular service and private events.
The launch menu is built around recognizable dishes with strong comfort appeal: Rahmschnitzel, Jägerschnitzel, Paprikaschnitzel, Sauerbraten, Käsespätzle, wurst plates, Bavarian pretzels, potato sides, and rotkohl.
