Andreas Caminada
Fürstenau
Switzerland
Overview
Andreas Caminada is a Swiss chef and entrepreneur who has made significant contributions to the world of haute cuisine.
Andreas Caminada is the executive chef and owner of Hotel Ristorante Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau, Switzerland.
The historic 13th-century castle serves as the perfect setting for his culinary vision.
Caminada’s approach goes beyond mere cuisine; it revolves around a respectful treatment of fresh ingredients and the creation of complex flavors.
The castle also features a luxury six-room inn, providing a romantic and quiet atmosphere for guests who want to immerse themselves more deeply in the experience.
Creative Swiss Cuisine:
Born in Graubünden in 1977, Caminada focuses on simple yet familiar ingredients, such as apples, artichokes, and mushrooms.
His signature skill lies in combining various preparations of a single ingredient, resulting in surprising and delightful flavors.
For example, he features Swiss pikeperch from Lake Lucerne with red onion, buttermilk, and radish.
Over 20 varieties of apples grow in the valley near Schloss Schauenstein, allowing him to create diverse apple-based dishes.
Accolades and Recognition:
Schloss Schauenstein has been consistently ranked in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants list since 2012.
In 2015, Caminada launched his second restaurant brand, IGNIV by Andreas Caminada, with casual dining spots in Bad Ragaz and St. Moritz. Both locations received Michelin stars within their first year.
He also owns Remisa-La Tavlada, a more casual venue alongside Schauenstein.
Additionally, Caminada established the Fundaziun Uccelin foundation to support and nurture young, talented chefs and service staff.
Starting his business in his twenties with only four employees, Caminada now coordinates a team of 40.
His culinary journey began at Hotel Signina in Laax, and he honed his skills at renowned restaurants like Hotel Walserhof, Wiesengrund, and Restaurant Bareiss under the guidance of three-starred German chef Claus-Peter Lumpp.
