Chefs Overview
Max Schafirstein
A New Chapter
Max Schafirstein has been closely connected to Restaurant La Bécasse for around 15 years. He began his training there, grew into an essential part of the kitchen team and later became sous-chef under Christof Lang. On 1 September 2025, he took over the restaurant, stepping into responsibility for the whole house rather than the kitchen alone. His work carries forward La Bécasse’s French fine dining tradition with respect, while allowing space for personal ideas, modern accents and the confidence that comes from knowing the restaurant from the inside.
“For me, La Bécasse is about continuing what has grown here over many years, while adding my own ideas with respect and precision.”
