The story
Wirtschaft am Schlössli sits directly at the harbour of Bottighofen, with a terrace that overlooks the water and the distant Alps. Christian Kuchler, the restaurant’s founder, calls it “the most beautiful terrace on Lake Constance.” The view alone sets the stage for a relaxed meal, whether you are stopping in for lunch or an evening with friends.
The kitchen is led by Monika Huber, formerly sous-chef to Christian Kuchler. She brings a young, passionate team that works with fresh, high-quality ingredients to create Mediterranean cuisine with a creative twist. The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on the flavours of the region and the Mediterranean — expect light, carefully composed dishes that let the produce speak.
Sommelier and host Jonas Volpert curates a diverse wine selection to accompany the food. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious, shaped by genuine hospitality. The restaurant has earned a recommendation in the Michelin Guide, a recognition that speaks to the consistent quality and thoughtful execution in both kitchen and service.
From a quiet weekday lunch to a special celebration, Wirtschaft am Schlössli offers a versatile setting. The outdoor terrace is a highlight in fine weather, and the restaurant provides parking for guests. It is a place that rewards a journey to Bottighofen — and the view across the lake is part of the experience.
