Wild Rye

Located at the luxury resort, Brasada Ranch near Bend, Oregon, Wild Rye brings the high desert to the table through bold, fire-driven cuisine and sweeping views of the Cascade Mountains. Helmed by Executive Chef, Karl Holl, the restaurant honors the rugged spirit of Central Oregon with a hyper-seasonal menu featuring local game, farm-raised meats, and foraged ingredients like western juniper, sagebrush, wild strawberry, and huckleberry. Dishes are smoked, grilled, spit-roasted, or torched—evoking the primal elegance of open-range cooking. Samples from the seasonally driven menu include juniper-braised lamb shank, smoked wings, or oysters with huckleberry mignonette, alongside a cocktail list inspired by the desert’s untamed beauty. Wild Rye offers a refined and rooted culinary experience that captures the essence of the surrounding ranch and region.
