Concept & Cuisine
Every culinary journey begins with a choice: a menu with fish and meat, or a vegetarian alternative. Gottschlich's approach makes taste the starting point, arranging the dishes around the six taste qualities sour, sweet, umami, bitter, salty and fatty. Each menu comes with a matching wine pairing or a non-alcoholic drinks pairing; for those who prefer, there is an exclusive Dom Pérignon pairing.
Ambience & Practicalities
The restaurant favours clean lines and warm tones. Service and kitchen are deliberately not kept apart — guests are meant to feel inspired. It is open Wednesday to Saturday between 6:30 p.m. and midnight.
