Süsswinkel Brasserie Chur: Modern French Dining in the Old Town

The Chef and the Kitchen

Chef Rico Gwerder runs the kitchen at Süsswinkel Brasserie in Chur, where he prepares seasonal French brasserie dishes from scratch. His approach strips away unnecessary complexity while keeping the spirit of classic cooking intact. Every plate arrives directly from the house kitchen, built around fresh produce that shifts with the calendar. This dedication to honest flavor recently drew a thirteen point rating from Gault&Millau.

Seasonal Plates and Pairings

The kitchen presents concise seasonal plates that rely on straightforward techniques and reliable sourcing. Smoked salmon tranches rest on a crisp mango cucumber salad finished with a light poke dressing. Summer menus often feature citron spaghetti tossed with thin veal strips, while the roast beef pairs well with tartar sauce and crispy pesto potato wedges. Sommelier Sereina Foppa matches these robust modern French preparations against a carefully selected wine list.

Renovated Spaces and Warm Service

Recent renovations transformed the interior into a space that balances historic architecture with contemporary comfort. The main dining area opens onto a sheltered terrace situated directly in the pedestrian zone of the old town. Staff members maintain a relaxed pace that encourages lingering without rushing the service flow. Guests frequently return for the consistent execution of classic French brasserie fare paired with attentive table management.
