Angel Food Cake

Welcome & Mission Statement

Welcome to Das Dutchman Essenhaus! We are a family restaurant with a unique atmosphere for local guests as well as visitors from afar. We moved to Middlebury from Sugarcreek, Ohio, purchased the

small Curve Inn restaurant and reopened it in 1971 as Das Dutchman Essenhaus.

Much has changed since then and we look back over the busy growing years with a sense of joy and gratitude for dreams that have been fulfilled. We give thanks to you, our guests, to our employees, and most of all to

God, our Creator.

May your time with us be pleasant and enjoyable.
