Restaurant Burg Au: Sascha Beilke's Modern Swiss Kitchen Among Vineyards

A stone barn amid the vines

Restaurant Burg stands as a distinct Riegelbau structure surrounded by vineyards overlooking the Rhine Valley in Au. Chef Sascha Beilke executes modern Swiss cuisine within this historic setting, blending heritage recipes with contemporary methods. The dining room features timber-paneled guest rooms that provide a grounded backdrop for the menu.

The chef and his dual passion

Sascha Beilke leads the kitchen using selected high-quality products. Every dish balances heritage with innovation. As a certified biersommelier, he pairs beer with the same rigor as wine, selecting brews that complement regional produce. His Chaine des Rotisseurs membership signals a dedication to quality across food and drink.

From rustic classics to elegant menus

The evening menu evolves with the seasons. It opens with scallops served beside muskat squash, ginger, and fried coppa. A poached country egg follows, dressed with black garlic and mushrooms. Later courses bring half a Canadian lobster resting on crustacean foam with kohlrabi spaghetti and a potato millefeuille. Lebkuchen mousse with candied cherries concludes the meal, bridging tradition and modern technique.

Cellar gatherings and garden evenings

Warmer evenings extend to the covered terrace and the enjoyment garden situated among the vineyard rows. Guests gather in the wine cellar for aperitifs featuring champagne, fresh oysters, and specialty beers with cured meats. Group events fill the calendar, anchoring Restaurant Burg as a hub for Swiss cuisine within a rural setting shaped by the harvest.
