Evening style
Social tournament with restaurant supper
Aurora Travel Guide
Coastal restaurant. Offline poker tournaments.
Emden harbor cooking by day, recreational Texas Hold’em tournament nights by evening — one room for plates, conversation, and friendly offline play without financial stakes.
Recreational offline poker only — no financial bets, no cash prizes.
A restaurant that knows how to feed a long evening
Seasonal North Sea cooking, travel-inspired boards, and service paced for talk. Guests come for lunch overlooking the water or for supper before the lounge turns into a tournament floor.
Aurora Travel Guide is operated by VC Fertigteile GmbH at Am Seemannsheim 6 in Emden. The kitchen stays the center of the house: when tournament nights run, food and drinks remain part of the program, not an afterthought.

Offline poker tournaments without the casino noise
On selected evenings we host structured recreational tournaments in Texas Hold’em. Chips track the night’s ranking only. There is no buy-in cash, no prize money, and no side betting — just a clear format for friends, teams, and curious beginners.
Stakes
No financial bets, no cash prizes
For whom
Beginners and regulars, age 18+

- Group reservations for friends and work teams

Two zones, one house
Daylight dining faces the harbor. The lounge behind can reconfigure for tournament tables without turning the whole restaurant into a stage.
Soft acoustics, flexible seating, and staff who know when to pause a course so a hand can finish. Private groups can combine a tasting supper with a closed tournament block when capacity allows.
Events beyond the weekly board
Travel tasting nights
Multi-course menus inspired by coasts and ports, with wine or zero-proof pairings.
Private tournament bookings
Closed evenings for birthdays or teams, still under the no-stakes house rules.
Corporate dinners
Long tables, set menus, and optional recreational poker after the main courses.
Community evenings
