The story
Bad Horn sits on the shores of Lake Constance near Sankt Gallen, serving refined Swiss cuisine through the Wave restaurant. Guests have visited these grounds since 1827 to rest beside the water. Chef Max Muranka now guides the daily service and seasonal planning. A recent Gault&Millau score of 15 points confirms the kitchen’s consistent execution alongside his background in classical training.
The menu opens with a wild essence paired with a root vegetable brunoise and a suspended goose praline. Lobster bisque gains depth through a pickled crustacean cube and fennel oil. A celery trio arrives next, combining pickled stalks alongside a smooth mousse and a chilled glaze crowned with shaved Tête de Moine cheese. The wine list anchors itself in Northeastern vineyards while complementing the broader Swiss gastronomy.
Nautical motifs thread through every corridor and suite. Polished brass fittings and dark mahogany paneling establish a quiet maritime elegance. Large windows in the Wave dining room frame direct views of the private harbor during evening service. Guests often choose the summer terrace when the sun reaches the shoreline.
