Gala Dinner

Schloss Birken

When Margravine Wilhelmine arrived in Bayreuth in January 1732, she was less than impressed by the conditions she found there – least of all by the ‘poor food’ she was served. In the years that followed, under her guidance, Bayreuth developed into an outstanding princely residence where magnificent celebrations and lavish banquets were held.

We also offer you the opportunity to dine in princely style in the Baroque manner. To round off an eventful concert evening with culinary delights, you can book an exquisite gala menu at Birken Castle.

An artist or a member of the festival management will dine with you at each table.

The Wolffenzacher restaurant will prepare the following for us:

Festive menu at the Margravine’s

Lukewarm chanterelle salad with tender wild herbs

Fine leaf salads with home-smoked char fillet and herb vinaigrette

Clear game stock with a strong aroma, served with tender nut dumplings

(A) Gently cooked trout fillet with fresh sugar snap peas, lemon butter and new potatoes
(B) Creamy buckwheat risotto with lightly fried garden vegetables and herbs (vegetarian)
(C) Pink roasted veal fillet with chanterelles in a delicate cream sauce

Sweet compositions from our pâtisserie
