bi:braud

bi:braud is a Michelin-starred restaurant in Ulm led by Alina Meissner-Bebrout, a chef-entrepreneur who opened the house in 2014 and earned its Michelin star in 2023. She trained in a Michelin restaurant in the Allgäu, worked at Aqua by Sven Elverfeld and in mountain and boutique-hotel kitchens, and has received recognition from Gault&Millau, Falstaff and other guides. Alina established kitchen co-leadership with Tim Ostertag, whose experience includes Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten Munich, Quay in Sydney and Frantzén in Stockholm. The house presents an expansive, carefully curated wine list overseen by sommelier Holger Baier (Weinakademiker) and Justin Sekic, with over 300 handcrafted, natural and Old‑World‑focused selections. A team of around 40 staff supports operations while the business expands into hospitality projects, including the 15-room design hotel Maison Meissner planned to open in 2026. The restaurant maintains a relaxed fine-dining atmosphere focused on warmth and hospitality so guests feel comfortable from the first moment. Seating is organised into two evening seatings to ensure service flow. The cuisine blends Swabian and French influences, prioritises regional, seasonal ingredients over luxury products and seeks to evoke memories and emotions rather than follow strict concepts. Familiar flavours appear alongside refined seasonal preparations, with traditional Buchteln and pasta among the house expressions. Alina Meissner-Bebrout serves as head chef. Specialties include Buchteln (traditional sweet dumplings), pasta dishes inspired by Italian travel memories and a vegetarian set menu (available). The house offers an extensive natural and Old‑World wine selection.
