I St. Moritz Gourmet Festival 2024: Ticket sales start on 9th November.
Ten three-star chefs are coming to the Engadine from 29th January to 3rd February 2024
From January 29 to February 3, 2024, the Engadine will host record 10 three-star chefs in honor of the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival's 30th anniversary. A special lineup that will delight foodies worldwide—never before have so many three-star chefs appeared at one event in history. Even though the 29th edition earlier this year was a huge success with celebrity Chefs and Michelin-star Chefs like Chef Gal Ben Moshe, who runs the Michelin-starred Prism in Berlin, Chef Athanasios Kargatzidis and many more.
The partner hotels have now finalized a comprehensive program and the assignment of elite guest chefs to their respective properties. On November 9, 2023, tickets for the gastronomic extravaganza will go on sale. The event will run in the world-class ski resort in conjuction to top international events such as the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz 2024.
There has never been a festival with ten three-star chefs in one place before.The lineup is outstanding and exceptional.
"It promises to be a firework display of culinary excellence—the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival in 2024."
Executive Chef at Suvretta House and Culinary Arts Fabrizio Zanetti
It’s a must for all lovers of fantastic food.” he added. So what to expect? Well, culinary masterpieces guaranteed: These three-star chefs will cook together with our local chefs.
Each of the nine partner hotels of the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival has a three-star chef assigned. At the Waldhaus the Sils Hotel, top chef Stefan Stiller is a guest of Executive Chef Gero Porstein. The German-born chef has been living in Shanghai since 2004, where he runs the “Taian Table”, one of two three-star restaurants in the 26-million metropolis, serving top European cuisine with Asian influences.
Jean-Philippe Blondet is a guest of Mauro Taufer at the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz. Contemporary, creative, and refined, the French three-star chef at “Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester” in London reinterprets Alain Ducasse's cuisine and delights gourmets from all over the world with his modern French dishes.
Simon Rogan will be cooking at the Carlton Hotel St. Moritz with Executive Chef Salvatore Frequente.
Rogan is considered a culinary icon all over the world; his three-star restaurant “L’Enclume” in the small northern English village of Cartmel was selected as “Britain’s most exciting restaurant” by the Good Food Guide 2022.
At the Nira Alpina Hotel, Hideaki Matsuo will cook alongside Executive Chef Janko Glotz. The Japanese Chef Matsuo is the owner of the “Kashiwaya” restaurant in Osaka, which has been awarded three Michelin stars. With great respect for the traditional Japanese art of cooking, he serves his guests gourmet dishes inspired by his love of nature and the aesthetics of Japan.
Belgian Viki Geunes is Fabrizio Piantanida's guest at the Grand Hotel Kronenhof in Pontresina. Geunes' career is unique: he has earned three Michelin stars as a self-taught chef and runs the restaurant “Zilte” in Antwerp. Critics describe the creativity, originality, and taste of his dishes as “dizzyingly exceptional”.
Juan Amador travels from Vienna to St. Moritz and is a guest of Rolf Fliegauf at the Hotel Giardino Mountain.
The German-Spanish top chef Amador runs the restaurant of the same name in Vienna and is considered an avant-gardist; he combines the refinement of French haute cuisine with influences from Catalan-Basque cuisine.
Executive Chef Jeremy Degras from the Badrutt’s Palace Hotel welcomes Hideaki Sato from “Ta Vie”, one of the top addresses in the gourmet mecca of Hong Kong. Here, three-star chef Hideaki Sato fuses Japanese and French cuisine in a unique way, delighting discerning gourmets who fancy outstanding cuisine.
Fabrizio Zanetti from the “Suvretta House” welcomes Julien Royer. The award-winning chef is co-owner of the three-star restaurant “Odette” in Singapore, as well as patron of the restaurant “Claudine” in Singapore and founder of of the restaurant “Louise” in Hong Kong (1 star). He is considered an ambassador for his closeness to nature and culinary excellence and consistently relies on high-quality ingredients from the best boutique producers in the world.
The Italian three-star chef Paolo Casagrande was supposed to cook at the Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski, but is unable to participate in the 2024 festival for personal reasons. He will be worthily replaced. Scottish three-star Chef Tristin Farmer, who opened his restaurant “Zén” in Singapore in 2019, will come to St. Moritz instead of Casagrande, and surprise festival guests alongside Jonas Starkowski with a skillful fusion of Nordic and Japanese
cuisine.
Special guest Emmanuel Renaut from the “Flocons de Sel” restaurant in the French Alps completes the fabulous 30 stars and will be cooking for two days at the Gourmet Festival. The celebrated French three-star chef combines classic refinement with innovative brilliance: each of his dishes is a work of art in itself, where the perfect interplay of flavors, textures, and colors touches all the senses and awakens emotions.
High-calibre festival program for the 30th Anniversary
In 2024, visitors to the St. Moritz Gourmet Festival can once again look forward to numerous high-calibre and varied events where they will be able to experience the culinary skills of the guest chefs firsthand. For a brilliant start, all ten three-star guest chefs will cook together with the executive chefs of the partner hotels at the legendary Porsche Kitchen Party in the luxurious Badrutt’s Palace Hotel On each of the four following evenings, there will be an exclusive gourmet diner with perfectly matched wine accompaniment selected by Caratello Wines St. Gallen and Martel Wines in St. Gallen. Furthermore, a Porsche Gourmet Safari will be organized. On these unique gourmet tours, guests enjoy a menu course directly at each chef’s table in the kitchen or in a special location of the respective partner hotels.
Brand new in 2024, and another spectacular and impressive highlight of the festival are the five unique 4-Hands Dinners, where two guest chefs prepare a six-course menu together, offering guests an absolutely unforgettable culinary experience. Two top chefs, six Michelin stars, six courses, accompanied by first-class champagne, exquisite wines—nothing can be more exclusive and high-class than this.

Viki Geunes and Jean-Philippe Blondet at the Grand Hotel Kronenhof

At the Grand
Gourmet Festival Finale in the Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski, they will show their skills all together and bring the culinary festival week to a fitting end.

Pack nicotine alternatives
Smoking cessation isn’t a one-and-done thing; being out with friends—especially smokers—might exacerbate your cravings. Instead of giving in and asking for a smoke, tobacco-free alternatives can help tamp down those urges. Nicotine pouches are a great product for a night out. Most nicotine pouches come in cans, which allow users to experience nicotine satisfaction on the go. Another great option is nicotine patches, which have been around for decades as a quitting aid. Brands like Habitrol nicotine patches come with two or three-step programs over eight or twelve weeks, gradually lowering the nicotine dose after some time. all images ©
