KETCHUP Goldegg am See | A Gault&Millau Rated Alpine Kitchen

A New Culinary Hand

Susanne assumes control of the kitchen at KETCHUP in Goldegg am See this December, succeeding chef Felix Schellhorn. The Gault&Millau guide recognized the establishment’s consistent quality with a score of fifteen points for 2026. Her approach grounds the menu in straightforward Alpine cuisine rather than unnecessary complexity. Guests can expect a steady hand during this transitional season.

Seasonal Traditions

The dinner service runs from seven until nine and focuses on established classics prepared with locally sourced ingredients. The kitchen prioritizes produce that travels short distances alongside select items brought in from neighboring valleys. Midday offerings shift toward lighter plates designed for quick comfort. Every dish reflects a commitment to honest regional cooking without chasing trends.

An Intentional Retreat

Visitors encounter a deliberate pause labeled Ein Sommer wie damals across the property. The management describes the venue as a Verzauberungsanstalt where poets, actors, and thinkers gather to read and discuss. A larch wood pier extends toward the water while rowboats remain docked nearby. This setting encourages slow meals that align with broader Austrian kitchen traditions.
