Dynamic award-winning Chef Sebastien Zier’s culinary career spans a number of renowned Michelin-star restaurants across Europe. After completing his apprenticeship, he moved to France to work at Le Cerf, and later returned to his native country Germany to join legendary master chef Harald Wohlfahrt at the critically acclaimed Schwarzwaldstube Restaurant at Hotel Traube Tonbach. When the luxury Capella Hotels Group opened the first Capella hotel Schloss Velden at Lake Worthesee in Austria in 2007, Chef Sebastien instrumentally brought the hotel’s signature restaurant Schlossstern to trailblazing success by earning its first Michelin star in just 6 months and a second in the following year. Back in his homeland after Velden, as chef of La Mer in A-rosa, the restaurant was awarded two-Michelin stars in 2012 until its closure in 2015 when he then moved to Switzerland to take the Chef Sebastian Zier helms of the famed Einstein Gourmet in St. Gallen where he continues to impress diners from all around the world with his captivating curation of the finest gastronomic experience.

After honing his skills at some of the most renowned restaurants throughout Europe including Alain Ducasse’s three-Michelin-starred Plaza Athenee in Paris, Christian returned to his roots in Thurgau, Switzerland. He took over the highly acclaimed Taverne zum Schäfli from his parents 6 years ago. Drawing on his wealth of experience and mastery of culinary techniques, Christian earned a second Michelin Star, 18 Gault-Millau points soon after, and elevated the restaurant to one of the top must-go Chef Christian Kuchler dining institutions admired by gourmands all over Europe. Motivated to push the limits of traditional cuisine with his innovative and boundless creativity, Christian has earned himself a stellar reputation and loyal following both at home and abroad.
Hailing from Germany, Chef Stefan Heilemann’s luminary talent shines through his enchanting culinary style that represents refined simplicity and vibrant innovation, incorporating classic French cooking techniques with international sensibilities drawn from his travels. A highly respected two-Michelin-star chef with18 Gault Millau points, who has also been named “Chef of the Year - Switzerland 2021” chef Stefan has an impressive culinary repertoire under his belt, from 10 demanding years honing and perfecting his culinary skills at the three- Michelin-starred Schwarzwaldstube at Traube Tonbach, to valuable stints working with mentor and collaborator Rolf Fliegauf at Ecco Ascona from 2012, subsequently overseeing the newly opened Ecco Zurich in Chef Stefan Heilemann 2015 which quickly rose to fame earning two Michelin stars the following year, as well as a string of other prestigious accolades. He joined Widder Hotel in Zurich as head chef of the Widder Bar & Kitchen in 2020 and has won wide acclaim and a huge following for his outstanding culinary craftmanship to wow even the most critical palate.
Austrian-born chef Michael Gollenz who oversees Alfred Keller, signature restaurant of Boutique Hotel Alhambra is undisputedly a force to be reckoned with. A stellar young talent who has worked alongside Michelin-starred culinary masters such as Christian Scharrer and Stefan Heilemann, at renowned restaurants including Ecco, Widder Bar & Kitchen in Zurich and Restaurant Aphrodite at Hotel Giardino, Ascona, Michael was hand-picked by Christian Kuchler who collaborates with CEO Peter Schoch of Jadranka turizam, owner and operator of Hotel Alhambra to take Alfred Keller to new heights with a fresh dining concept. The restaurant has won raving reviews and extremely high ratings for the remarkable culinary skills and impressive gastronomic Chef Michael Gollenz offerings Michael has managed to showcase in just a few months after taking over the helms of the coveted restaurant.
