Ess:enz – Garden of Eating

Ess:Enz - Garden of Eating

Natural pleasures from the Garden of Eden

Far from stiff and fancy: here we can be ourselves, among friends. Aren't rules meant to be broken? We combine gourmet cuisine with the restaurant experience; creating, composing and serving right before your eyes - 100% live cooking. Because good food also means good experiences.

By the way: don't worry, no menu dogma! Enjoy whatever you feel like - individual dishes or a menu put together according to your appetite. Vegetarian and vegan options are of course available. The motto: “the Garden of Eating” is the basis for the current menu. Let's celebrate the gifts of nature together

Gourmet restaurant, but casual

Let's lift the past into the modern age. Handmade quality. Handcrafted. Sitting together with a good red wine and leaving your smartphone in your pocket. Don't look at the feed, look into the eyes. Back to the future – this idea is also apparent through our regional menu made from local mountain products. Planes carrying caviar never flew to us in the past. And don't forget diversity: you would be surprised what delights can be conjured up out of simple parsnips and beetroots.

Architecture

The design of the gourmet restaurant walks the line between simplicity and poetry. Clarity and sensuality become one, in the architecture as well as on the plate. The cube nestles under a ceiling of plants. The many and various windows and glass doorways in the building create an interplay between the greenery and architecture and balance the meditative nature with the man-made.

Our Menu

Inspired by creation, we celebrate and refine its gifts at Ess:enz, and you can watch us over our shoulders in the open show kitchen.

Tapas experience: new this summer

No classic menu - a shared experience. In three waves, dishes come to the center of the table: for sharing, tasting, and discovering. Regional ingredients, partly directly from our own garden and organic farm.

Round off the evening in the “Freiraum” Bar

And the conversations continue over a fine drink. Because it is so pleasant right now, why not carry on the evening? It should not end yet. A toast to today, to love, to friendship, and perhaps new faces that will become friends. How about an Alps Inspired Drink?
