The kitchen, led by Chef Alexandre Luquet, offers a cuisine that is both pure and creative, blending modernity with a deep respect for tradition. The focus is on exceptional produce, transformed into dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious. Whether it’s a quick business lunch or a leisurely gastronomic dinner, the aim is always to provide a moment of pleasure and indulgence.

Inside, the wine cellar is a treasure trove, with over 500 references that showcase the richness of Swiss vineyards and those of neighbouring countries. The team, led by room manager Frédéric Masi, is a passionate, caring group dedicated to sharing a delicious experience with every guest.
