The story

Sonne in Grossaffoltern: Contemporary Fine Dining with Michelin Star, Switzerland

A Contemporary Kitchen Rooted in the Seasons

At Mösching’s Sonne in the quiet village of Wengi bei Büren, near Grossaffoltern, the kitchen team answers one question every day: how can the culinary diversity of the seasons be brought to the plate? Their answer is a contemporary, French-influenced cuisine that balances creativity with precise execution. The foundation, however, is the ingredient itself. The restaurant sources exceptional regional produce and maintains close relationships with local producers, believing that the essence of their cooking is made possible only by these perfect basic products.

This philosophy has earned the restaurant a Michelin star, a recognition of its high-quality cooking, as well as a score of 17 points from Gault&Millau. The restaurant describes its approach as an "integrating cuisine," combining diverse ingredients from near and far to create a complete culinary experience. Guests can choose from a traditional six-course Menu Sonne, a harmonious blend of fish and meat, or compose their own meal à la carte.

A Wine Cellar of Discoveries

The dining experience is complemented by a carefully curated wine list. Sommelier Iris Mösching has built a cellar full of finds, featuring classic regions like Burgundy, Bordeaux, Spain, and Italy, alongside a strong selection of Swiss wines from Ticino and Romandie. The restaurant is happy to share the full wine list by email for those who wish to study it.

An Atmosphere of Generosity

The team at Sonne defines their hospitality through creativity, joy, generosity, and a genuine welcome. The atmosphere reflects this warmth, with an outdoor terrace open for guests to enjoy. For those who wish to take the experience home, the restaurant offers a Weekend Box—a three-course menu prepared each week, available for pickup and easy finishing at home.
