Zucker

Zucker is a modern market-cuisine restaurant on the ARTmax site in Braunschweig, offering an impressive, atmospheric setting for every occasion. The house holds a Guide MICHELIN selection and hosts small private dinners as well as large celebrations. Front-of-house provides attentive, friendly service, and the team invites guests to be surprised by seasonal, thoughtfully composed menus. Set in the converted rooms of a former sugar refinery, the interior pairs industrial-chic architecture with a warm, polished dining room suitable for intimate meals and larger gatherings. The kitchen pursues modern market cuisine that balances familiar flavours with experimental touches; as Gastgeber Alexander Riehl puts it, they "seek the in-between space between the known and the experiment." Chefs produce contemporary, market-driven dishes executed with classic techniques and a flavour-forward focus, supported by a wine selection that includes notable Austrian wines. Alexander Riehl is host. Specialties include grilled duck breast with rutabaga; crispy pike-perch with lentil vegetables; Wiener schnitzel from veal with roast potatoes; beef fillet with champagne cabbage; Tafelspitz with potato–rutabaga mash and horseradish; and a goat fresh‑cheese tart with honey and walnut.
