About the job

Head Gourmet Louis: Guest Service, Wine and Service (m/f) 60-100% - Basel

The restaurant Weiherschloss Bottmingen was built in the second half of the 13th century and was first mentioned in documents in 1363. It is the only preserved water castle in the Leimental and is located in a dreamlike English park on the outskirts of Basel. The extraordinary historic complex is under federal and cantonal monument protection. Today, Schloss Bottmingen is a gastronomic establishment of high culinary quality with many historic castle rooms for private banquets. In the beautiful Weiherschloss there are two restaurants: "Brasserie du Château" & "Gourmet Louis" (15 Gault Millau points). Creations of classic French cuisine as well as creative gourmet dishes are served depending on the season. The romantic and stylish rooms are especially popular for weddings and festive occasions of all kinds. In summer, guests enjoy the romantic atmosphere on the garden terrace directly by the pond.
