Romantik Hotel & Restaurants Château Salavaux
Where Lake Murten, vineyards and joie de vivre meet: Château Salavaux invites guests to enjoy an experience that blends cuisine, hospitality and nature together to create something truly unique.
History and indulgence
Château Salavaux isn’t just a name; it is a genuine 16th-century castle. Nestling in the rolling hills of the Vully region and surrounded by vineyards and the shimmering waters of Lake Murten, hospitality and culinary discoveries that are second to none await you: a regionally and seasonally inspired menu and a rotating selection of exquisite wines from local vineyards.
From November to March, those wanting to delve deeper into the world of wine can indulge in a little Swiss Wine Therapy – a sensory ritual that pampers you with the antioxidant properties of grapes from the inside to out. And those seeking a special setting for their next conference or event can also find it here.
What do the guests order, what does the chef love?
The key ingredient for Chef Philippe Bouteille’s favorite dish can be found little more than a stone’s throw away: For his main course, he most goes for fillet of whitefish from Lake Murten, served with pak choi, celery, kohlrabi and lemongrass. And for dessert? "I’d treat myself to rice pudding made with rice that I get from a paddy field in Vully, which I’d garnish with a little citrus and homemade granola."
For the guests’ favorite dish, the ingredients come from a little further afield.
That means the main ingredient of the starter: salmon from Graubünden. This delicacy is served with tataki sauce, sesame mayonnaise and fried nori. The crowning glory is the main course: Swiss veal rib-eye steak served with cauliflower and Pinot Noir jus.
