In the year 2018, in a small, unassuming swiss alpine hut, a spark was ignited within me. It was there that I discovered my true passion, my DNA as an autodidact chef. The kitchen became my canvas, and the art of culinary creation became my voice.

Culinary meets design

Welcome to CAAA, a culinary marvel crafted in collaboration with External Reference, and the first restaurant realized using groundbreaking 3D printing technology. Our dining room is a testament to innovation, featuring a ceiling exquisitely made from recycled materials like cellulose, glass, wood, and plastic. This showcases our commitment to sustainability and cutting-edge design. Every element in our restaurant narrates a story of craftsmanship and creativity, set within an eco-conscious framework. Join us for a dining experience that tantalizes all senses and leaves a lasting impression.

As an autodidact Chef, i are driven for sustainability and transalpine culinary excellence.

Through fermentation, dehydration, and distillation, We are able to create extraordinary alpine essences. In our creations, we combine traditional and innovative the resulting in unforgettable flavor experiences that evoke memories.

Each dish is not only a culinary masterpiece but also a statement about respecting nature and creating a sustainable future.

We see our work as both an art form and a responsibility, that we pursue with passion and dedication.
