Hotel Description
Pensionsrestaurant (HP = Frühstücksbuffet und abends 4-Gang-menü mit Wahl zwischen 3 Hauptgerichten, Salatbuffet) À-la-carte Restaurant
Obviously there has to be some distinction here between the Pensionsrestaurant and the a la carte restaurant. I've checked out the previous entries for this question, and none seem to fit. Because these are only notes about what the hotel offers, I need a definite English term. I assume that hotel guests can either choose to stay on a half board basis, or make use of the a la carte restuarant. How do I make this distinction?

Boarding House/Pension (&) Restaurant
In my understanding this is a restaurant that is open to guests of the pension (half board, set menu) as well as to other people (a la carte).

O.K. The reference below is not in Germany but the content is English: "The facilities of the hotel include an à la carte restaurant and the **table d'hôte restaurant**
I suppose it depends what kind of a place it is, really.
