The story

Redüttchen Bonn – Modern International Cuisine in a Historic Setting

A Historic Setting for Modern Dining

In Bonn-Bad Godesberg, the Redüttchen occupies the former gardener’s house of the Redoute, a neoclassical ballroom built in the 1790s for the Elector Max Franz. Today, that heritage provides a calm, unhurried backdrop. The team describes the atmosphere as one where “genussvolle und überraschende Kulinarik” meets an “entspanntes Ambiente” – a place for a business dinner, a meal with friends, or simply an evening of good food and wine.

Chef Matthias Pietsch and His Kitchen

Küchenchef Matthias Pietsch leads the kitchen, working with “besten Zutaten” and a spirit of imagination. His cooking draws on international influences while keeping a firm sense of place. The cuisine is best described as Modern Cuisine with an International outlook – regional ingredients treated with global technique and a playful edge. Menus change regularly, and the kitchen offers vegetarian alternatives on request.

What’s on the Plate

The team takes pride in surprising guests. A recent “Master of Wine” evening, for example, paired a six-course menu with Ornellaia wines, featuring dishes like flamed trout with rhön caviar, a Wagyu roast beef with truffle jus, and a “Dominostein” dessert of gingerbread biscuit and marzipan. Seasonal events are a highlight: a Gourmet-BBQ in summer (smoked meats, seafood, salads) and a festive goose menu in autumn, available both in the restaurant and as “Gans To Go”. The à la carte selection and a regularly updated menu ensure there is always something new.

Recognition and Awards

The Redüttchen has earned a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026, alongside other accolades including Gault Millau points, a Varta recommendation, and membership in JRE (Jeunes Restaurateurs). It has also been named a “TOP-Ausbildungsbetrieb” (top training establishment) and is a partner of Green Chefs, a community for fairness and responsibility in gastronomy. These recognitions reflect a kitchen that balances technical skill with genuine warmth.

A Welcoming Philosophy

The service team aims to make guests feel “bei Freunden zu Hause”. An extensive, carefully curated wine list – with passionate staff ready to answer questions – completes the experience. Whether on the sunny terrace in summer or inside the historic rooms, the Redüttchen offers a relaxed, confident take on modern dining in Bonn.
