Private chef in Gstaad

Restaurant-quality dining in your chalet

I cook in chalets across Gstaad, Saanen, Schönried, Saanenmöser and the quiet valleys of Lauenen and Turbach. Winter means long chalet dinners after a day on the Eggli or the Wispile, and summer brings terrace lunches and celebrations under the peaks.

The Saanenland is cheese country: Berner Hobelkäse shaved paper thin, Gruyère, and L’Etivaz from the pastures next door, still made over a wood fire in alpine huts each summer. I pair them with char and perch from the Swiss lakes and wild mushrooms from the forests, cooked lightly with fire and smoke, and pour Chasselas from Lavaux or Petite Arvine from the Valais.

I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.
