Tanja Grandits Stucki Basel: Closed Until 2027

Tanja Grandits is the chef and owner of Stucki – Tanja Grandits, a fine-dining restaurant at Bruderholzallee 42 in Basel with two Michelin stars (2025 guide) and 19 GaultMillau points. It is not a burger restaurant. Stucki closed for renovation at the end of September 2026 and plans to reopen in November 2027. In the meantime, from 1 February to October 2027, Grandits cooks at a temporary restaurant called Tanja am Rhy, at Rhypark on the Rhine. Here for a burger?

Does Tanja Grandits run a burger restaurant? No

Tanja Grandits does not serve a burger at Stucki, at her sister restaurant Schlüssel in Oberwil or in her shop. I went looking for one, because the idea of a two-star chef doing a burger in Basel kept coming up. I checked her official site, the Michelin Guide, GaultMillau, the renovation press release and the local press. Nothing.

Search tells the same story. On 1 November 2026 I looked up “best burger Basel”: the results list Burgermeister, Hans im Glück, Union Diner, Holy Cow and Valentino’s Place, never Stucki. So you will not find an invented signature burger here. What you will find is who Grandits is, what Stucki is and where to eat her cooking until 2027. Compare Philippe Chevrier’s burger in Geneva: that Swiss two-star chef really does run a burger counter, Denise’s. Grandits doesn’t.

Is Stucki in Basel open right now?

No. Stucki closed for renovation at the end of September 2026, and the reopening at Bruderholz is planned for November 2027. Two closing dates are in circulation. The official contact page says 28 September 2026, while the press release says 26 September. GaultMillau talks of “mid-November” 2027 for the reopening. Treat that as a target, not a promise: renovations slip.

The building work had already changed service before the closure. Stucki ran normally until the end of June 2026, then served dinner only, plus Saturday lunch, from July to September.

What is being built is the back of house a two-star kitchen needs: a production facility, a training kitchen, staff rooms and storage. There will also be a chocolate room and a V-ZUG kitchen.

Tanja am Rhy: where to eat Tanja Grandits’ food in 2027

Tanja am Rhy is Grandits’ temporary restaurant at Rhypark Basel, open from 1 February to October 2027. It takes over the former space of the “roots” restaurant, right on the Rhine. Bookings are made online or by email at rhypark@tanjagrandits.ch.

The menu is shorter: 6 courses instead of the 9 served at Bruderholz. Prices have not been published yet, and I will add them once they are online. My take: if you want Grandits’ cooking in 2027, this is the one to book. A riverside room and a tighter menu for nine months is a rarer chance than waiting for the villa to reopen.

Who is Tanja Grandits?

Tanja Grandits is a German-born chef who has run the kitchen at Stucki in Basel since 2008 and has been GaultMillau’s Swiss Chef of the Year three times. She was born on 25 August 1970 in Ebingen, now part of Albstadt, in Baden-Württemberg.

Training and first restaurant

Grandits trained at Traube Tonbach in Baiersbronn under Harald Wohlfahrt. From there she went to Claridge’s in London and then Château de Montcaud in Bagnols-sur-Cèze, in the south of France. Her first restaurant in Switzerland, Thurtal in Eschikofen (canton of Thurgau), opened in 2001.

Michelin stars and GaultMillau points

Stucki holds two Michelin stars (2025 Swiss guide) and 19 GaultMillau points. The stars are a return: the restaurant first held them under its founder, Hans Stucki, and Grandits won them back in 2013. She has held 19 GaultMillau points since 2019, and according to V-ZUG she was the first woman in Swiss history to reach that score. GaultMillau named her Chef of the Year in 2006, 2014 and 2020.

Nobody has said whether Stucki keeps its stars in the next Swiss guide while it is closed. The two stars quoted here are its 2025 status.

Books, TV and honours

Grandits published seven cookbooks between 2007 and 2020. On television she appeared on The Taste (Sat.1, 2014) and went up against Tim Mälzer on Kitchen Impossible (VOX, 2019). In 2023 she received the German Federal Cross of Merit.

What is Tanja Grandits’ aroma cuisine?

Aroma cuisine is Grandits’ style: each dish is built around one dominant colour and the flavours that match it. Underneath sits French technique. On top come herbs, flowers and spices, with Asian and Mediterranean influences. [Sources: World’s 50 Best Discovery; Michelin Guide]

Who was Hans Stucki, founder of Restaurant Stucki?

Hans Stucki founded the restaurant in Basel’s Bruderholz district in the early 1960s and ran it until his death in 1998; the restaurant still carries his name. He earned the two Michelin stars that Grandits won back in 2013. When she took over the kitchen in 2008, she kept his name on the door next to her own.

Schlüssel in Oberwil: Grandits’ relaxed sister restaurant

Schlüssel, at Hauptstrasse 41 in Oberwil (canton of Basel-Landschaft), is the more relaxed restaurant Grandits runs alongside Stucki, and it stays open throughout the renovation. Order à la carte or pick a set menu: 4 or 5 courses at dinner, 3 or 4 at lunch. There is a vegetarian option, the wine list is mostly Swiss, and Edi Magalhães runs the floor.

If you want to taste Grandits’ cooking before 2027, Schlüssel is where I would go: it is open now and the menus are shorter. One gap: it publishes no menu prices I could verify. The only Stucki price I found is CHF 240 per person for a 12-course menu in April 2016, from critic Andy Hayler. That figure is ten years old and no official source lists current prices, so don’t budget from it.

Sources and method

I checked every fact on 1 November 2026 against the official site (tanjagrandits.ch), the renovation press release on Presseportal, GaultMillau, Bajour, Stilpalast, the Michelin Guide, World’s 50 Best Discovery, German Wikipedia and Andy Hayler’s 2016 review. Details I could not confirm were left out: the exact year Hans Stucki opened, his successor before 2008, Schlüssel’s GaultMillau score and the street address of Rhypark. There is no rating here, because I have not eaten at Stucki for this article.
