EIGHT SEATS. ONE JOURNEY.
Aurea invites you on a culinary journey of emotion.
Deep within the historic vaulted cellar of the house, behind walls that have stood for over 850 years, lies a space where cuisine becomes art. Here, where stone and time have shaped an atmosphere of their own, Aurea welcomes just eight guests — quietly, attentively, and entirely devoted to the experience of dining.
Within this intimate setting, a culinary journey unfolds course by course, guided by precision, creativity and a deep respect for exceptional ingredients.
An evening at Aurea is more than dinner.
It is an experience to share — and one that lingers long in the memory.
Within the exclusive setting of Aurea, we guide you through different worlds of flavour: delicate and refined, aromatic and expressive, sometimes surprising, always precisely composed. Temperatures, textures and aromas intertwine to form a narrative that unfolds throughout the evening. Each course is part of the journey — and at the same time a moment in itself.

Your Créateur d’Émotion
Executive Chef Phillip Schnabel
“Do you cook French?” — a question Phillip Schnabel hears often.
His culinary style is rooted in classical French cuisine: precise, with aromatic depth and a clear structure. He describes it himself as “complex yet never over-elaborate”.
His passion for developing new dishes was shaped during his time with his mentor Christian Lohse. Today, Schnabel combines this classical foundation with his own culinary influences — including the precision of sushi culture, Mediterranean nuances and an uncompromising commitment to product quality.
“At the beginning of every new dish is a vision of flavour,” says Schnabel. From this idea, the dish gradually evolves — until a concept becomes a plate that brings together aromas, textures and balance.
Before joining AUREA, he led the kitchen of the restaurant ESSENCE in Munich and was recognised by the Schlemmer Atlas as a Top-50 Chef.
“Food is emotion.” For Phillip Schnabel, this means creating flavours that resonate with the guest — beyond the moment — and remain as a memory.
