German term

Pensionsrestaurant

German to English Marketing Tourism & Travel Restaurants
From a chef's reference. Das Hotel hat ein anspruchsvolles Pensions- und a la carte Restaurant
and "im Pensions- und a la carte Bereich.

Does this just mean the opposite of a la carte, i.e. set menu?
Or is it something to do with full/half-board? I suppose it means the restaurant catered for hotel guests whose meals are included and for visitors who dine in the restaurant. Is there an elegant way of putting this? The restaurant serves hotel guests and a la carte diners?

Pensionsrestaurant: where the hotel guests use to take their meals (usually they may choose from among 2 to 3 dishes, whereas people who are not fond of being faced with a reduced offer, will prefer à la carte restaurants

The high quality restaurant served both hotel guests and à la carte diners...etc

Yes, just as you suggest, with the additional translation of anspruchsvoll to add to the person's credentials. I think that past tense is all right if the chef is talking of a previous not current job.
Note from asker:
Yes, I think this is along the right lines, i.e. catering for hotel guests (on set menus) and à la carte diners.

table d'hôte restaurant

If it was 'anspruchsvoll', why not give it that nice little French touch. A nice complement to 'à la carte'.
