In the heart of Salzburg, in the impressive setting of the former foundry, lies the SENNS.Restaurant, a place that combines historical architecture with the most modern top gastronomy. Andreas Senn, the creative mind behind this culinary gem, has been delighting his guests since 2020 with a sophisticated fusion of Austrian tradition and international top cuisine. With 2 Michelin stars and numerous awards, the SENNS.Restaurant has established itself as one of the top addresses for gourmets in the Alpine region.
Unique ambience in the foundry
The SENNS.Restaurant is not only known for its exceptional cuisine, but also for its spectacular location. The former halls of the bell foundry, which produced the largest bells in Europe until 2003, offer an impressive industrial flair. The thick brick walls, the enormous bell and the rusty remains of days gone by form an attractive contrast to the modern and delicate cuisine that is served here. The bell, which acts as the heart of the restaurant, gives the room an almost sacred atmosphere. Andreas Senn has made it his mission to integrate the history of this place into his dishes - a tribute to the centuries-old tradition of craftsmanship.
Andreas Senn: The creative mind behind the restaurant
Andreas Senn, a master of his craft, brings an innovative line of cuisine to the table in the SENNS.Restaurant. He and his talented team work to source the best products in the world and serve them in exciting, aromatic compositions. In doing so, he consciously leaves the beaten track of classic haute cuisine and focuses on lightness and finesse. Butter and cream are almost completely replaced in his kitchen by light stocks and essences, which gives his dishes an incomparable sophistication.
His menus, such as "The 5 senses of taste", are an impressive journey through different textures, aromas and visual impressions.
