Coming Up
Apprenticeship at Burgrestaurant Staufeneck set the base: the daily tempo of a professional kitchen, the discipline of repetition, and the first habits of speed, accuracy, and restraint. Thomas Hausin then moved through station work in German kitchens, taking on Chef de partie at Hirsch Weinstuben in Stuttgart Möhringen, Chef Entremetier at Sonne Post in Murrhard, Chef Tournant at Top Air in Flughafen Stuttgart, and Sous Chef at Speisemeisterei in Stuttgart Hohenheim. The progression matters here because each post added responsibility at a different station, building judgement through service rather than theory. That sequence led to Head Chef at Schweizer Stuben in Wertheim / Bettingen, a role that matched the authority earned along the way. Today, Thomas Hausin is chef of Vinissimo, and the line from apprenticeship to leadership is visible in the way the work is framed: method first, control second, and no wasted motion between the two.
Where They Are Now
At Vinissimo in Sopot, Poland, the cooking associated with Thomas Hausin is modern in technique and layered in flavour. The point is not display; it is structure. Each element is placed to build depth, with complexity arriving through order rather than noise. That makes the plate read in stages, which is often where the work holds attention longest. The method is measured and exacting. Instead of chasing novelty, it leans on balance, finish, and the slow reveal of flavour as the diner moves through the dish. That approach fits the discipline of Hausin’s path: responsibility accumulated over time, technique serving the idea, and the whole kept intact through control.
