RESTAURANT REVIEW
Andreas Caminada’s restaurant, set high in the Swiss Alps in a beautiful castle an hour’s drive from either Davos or St. Mortiz, stands for the proposition that no journey is too arduous for those who are looking for an exceptional dining experience. A protégé of Restaurant Bareiss’ Claus-Peter Lumpp, the 36-year-old Caminada took the classical training he received at Lumpp’s restaurant and created a style of cooking that is more in line with how Alain Passard and Jean-Georges Klein approach cuisine, creating dishes like slightly cooked char with beetroot and peas, and a glazed saddle of lamb with chickpeas, chocolate, black root vegetables and cream of tomato. One reviewers praised a wine list described as a “labor of love,” and another described the restaurant as “one of the most beautiful places I ever ate in.”
