i. Biography
Johannes Wuhrer works the kitchen at Falconera in Öhningen, Germany, where the restaurant in Öhningen-Schienen is run as a classic family business. In that setting, Chef de cuisine is not just a title: Wuhrer is described as both the thinker and the driver of the house, the person shaping the pace of service and the tone of the room. The work reads as a single line from pass to dining room, with focus in the kitchen and a calm, attentive presence at the table.
The Path
At Falconera, the titles Head Chef, Executive Chef, and Head Chef & Gastgeber point to a role that moves between command and hospitality. With Johannes Wuhrer in those posts, the kitchen and the room are treated as part of the same operation: one side sets the structure of the meal, the other carries it to the guest. That split responsibility gives Falconera its character, with precision on the plate and a host’s care in the dining room.
The Work Today
A family-run house depends on continuity, and Wuhrer is described as part of that leadership rather than apart from it. His cooking is Karamellisierte Entenleber, a recurring signature he returns to instead of replacing it with novelty. That choice says enough about the method: refinement over noise, and the willingness to let a dish mature through repetition. The seasonal tasting menu also includes NANTAISER ENTE as a duck course, extending that focus across the menu rather than isolating it in a single plate. Together, those dishes show a kitchen built around a small set of ideas, worked carefully and kept in circulation. The result is a style that values clarity, restraint, and the slow tightening of a signature.
