The story
Grand Casino Baden presents refined Swiss cuisine from its PLÜ Restaurant & Lounge, located in central Baden. The kitchen combines classical techniques with contemporary plating across every service. A recent Gault&Millau rating of fourteen points highlights how the menu balances heritage and innovation. Diners encounter dishes like tender veal tongue paired with a bright chive and mountain balm emulsion alongside aged Sbrinz cheese. The culinary approach respects regional ingredients while applying precise methods that define modern Swiss cooking.
Standout preparations include glass-seared scallops crusted with cashews and almonds, resting beside a delicate rouille espuma and crisp spring vegetables. The main course frequently features sautéed monkfish medallions dressed with bear garlic pesto, creamy white wine risotto, and caramelized kirsch tomatoes. Each plate is matched against a carefully curated wine list that reviewers note for its reasonable pricing and solid structure. A hazelnut praline dessert finished with raspberry and tarragon oil typically closes the meal.
The dining room occupies a building that originally opened as the Kursaal in 1875 near the Bäderquartier spa district. Guests experience a polished yet unpretentious environment where staff prioritize attentive service over formal stiffness. Warm hospitality defines the lounge atmosphere, making it suitable for both business lunches and evening gatherings. The space maintains a quiet elegance that complements the straightforward excellence of Swiss cuisine served daily.
