Coming Up
Earlier roles at Widder Restaurant and at Aqua, Alex Lake Hotel in Thalwil (2021–2024), where Michael Schuler was Head Chef / küchenleitung, sit behind the current setup. The sequence matters less as narrative than as preparation for a kitchen that now balances restraint, pace, and a longer menu on selected days.
Where They Are Now
At Krone Regensberg, Michael Schuler has put the service structure front and centre: weekday cooking stays straightforward, while the weekend menu expands to seven courses. The practical frame is the point, with whole chickens, fish or crustaceans appearing according to what is available, and with the tone kept “casual and relaxed.” That same fit extends to the room itself, which Schuler describes as matching his ideal in a family-run business.
In Their Words “That is exactly the concept that matches my ideal, and the Krone, as a beautiful, family-run business, appealed to me immediately.” “We will now serve simpler cuisine from Tuesday to Thursday, and then go all out with a seven-course menu on Friday and Saturday.”
