History

Established in 2006.

Blaue Gans pays homage to the traditional wholesome «Wirtshaus» he enjoyed visiting during his childhood in Austria. Chef Gutenbrunner wanted a relaxed place where people could «just sit with friends and have a bite to eat and a glass of wine.» With Blaue Gans, Kurt has managed to fulfill this desire and create a local neighborhood favorite, where families come together in a casual atmosphere for spectacular cuisine. In contrast to the paintings and more formal artwork of Wallsé and Café Sabarsky, the gallery posters adorning every inch of the restaurant’s walls reflect the casual, relaxed atmosphere of Blaue Gans.
