August - Menu

Everyone should try this once in their life, truly exceptional experience. Service was great but the food was even better.

We had an amazing evening here. Truly deserves both Michelin stars. Price wise more than fair even though it is still expensive. The chef enjoys being around the guests something you don´t find often. Food is made with local, seasonal ingredients. You can´t choose only...fixed menu. This is by far the best restaurant in Augsburg. Staff was attentive but the star is obviously the chef and the food. Only one downside. Parking is a nightmare. If you are in Augsburg you should come here

First visit to the new location. It is really an interesting building and a the restaurant is located in a pleasant room. The space is small, I cannot recall exactly how many seats but definitely less than in the old venue. Service is attentive and the Chef himself is very involved in the presentation and description of the different dishes in the menu. The whole performance is a bit theatrical but it fits well with the extreme elaboration of the plates. Tables are equipped with a glass display and the whole meal is an experience of smells, taste and visual stimuli. We spend almost 4 hours for dinner and it was a pleasure. I would definitely recommend a yearly visit to August! Or two... View menu

Bereits der Eintritt in die wunderschöne Haag-Villa ist beeindruckend, das Ambiente, die Räume, das Gourmetzimmer.Vor dem eigentlichen Menü gibt es viele viele Grüße aus der Küche, jeder Gruß eine eigene Kreation für sich mit fast nicht enden wollenden Wow-Effekt. Man wird als Gast mitgenommen auf ein Genusserlebnis der Kreativität, der Kochkunst, der Phantasie, der Aromen usw. Die Ideen und die kreative Wahrnehmung von 2-Sternekoch Christian Grünwald scheinen unendlich zu sein, die besondere Kunst auf dem Teller schmeckt und bezaubert zugleich.Man erlebt sehr viel im Restaurant August, es ist fast schwer zu beschreiben, ein besonderer Abend der begeistert staunen lässt. Vielen Dank an das g...

We planed our trip from the UK to Italy specifically to stop at this restaurant as we love fine dining and have experienced many Michelin starred meals. Sadly we were not delighted with this one. The atmosphere was not very comfortable and the lit tables and eating off broken china and glass shards felt a bit gimmicky. To be honest there was way too much food in each of the several courses, we had about 12 amuse bouche, I lost count, and they were on the large size, especially the ball with warm brown butter which was meant to be eaten in one. The tomato consome with rum, was very powerful and interesting on first taste, but would have been better served in a thimble rather than a large glas...

Well, never ever 2 Michelin stars in my book!An odd ambience with an effort at theatre that distracts from the important bit - the food - and which almost made the service farcical at times. Anyway, what about the food? Before that let's see about the wine, please? What, no specially matched 'flight' for the elaborate tasting menu (4 hour sitting)? Oh, we have to choose our own, but without knowing what the dishes will be? Hm. What? we can't have anything by the glass, bottles only! I see. At least the waitress is able to tell us what the Chef recommends and the list is very small and includes some delicious local Pinot Noir - which Germany seems to do really well with from some growers. As... View menu

Having enjoyed several memorable meals in Michelin starred establishments over the years, when recently planning a driving tour through Europe, my travelling companions and I decided to treat ourselves to a couple more on our journey. Hence a dinner at Restaurant August, with it's two stars, was arranged. Sadly, it proved to be the most disappointing meal of our whole 10 day trip.Even our welcome felt awkward. Yes, we were shown the kitchen but also the empty rooms not being used and then taken out onto the terrace, all dark and cold, with the explanation that it will be nice in summer. Maybe, but it was not nice on a dank February evening.Eventually, at table and feeling better after a glas...

Such is the power of the Michelin star system, we arranged a night stay in Augsburg expressly to have dinner at Restaurant August.The evening was fun and enjoyable, and some of the courses were intensely flavoured, but it falls short of what we have come to expect from Michelin star rated restaurants for a number of reasons.But first, the good points: August is housed in a spectacular 19c industrialist's mansion. The many (and there are many) courses on the set menu are imaginatively and creatively presented: your table is a glass light box, through which you see a presentation 'drawer' where many of the amuses bouches are displayed. After each one, the drawer is pulled out to access the nex...

Unser zweiter Besuch im August, diesmal nach dem Umzug in die Villa Haag. Die neue Location wertet den Besuch definitiv auf, das herrschaftliche Haus passt hervorragend zu einem extravaganten Abend. Befremdlich ist dabei ein wenig die Führung, die wir zu Beginn erhielten, das wirkte ein wenig aufgesetzt, als stünde im Mietvertrag: Rundgang durch das Haus mit ein paar geschichtlichen Fakten ist vorgeschrieben. Das Speisezimmer selbst überzeugt durch extreme Deckehöhe und wunderschön erhaltene Einrichtung. Gegessen wird an speziell für das Restaurant angefertigten Tischen, die an Museumsschaukästen erinnern. In deren Einlassung unter der Glasscheibe, die die Tischplatte bildet, immer wieder we...
