Grand opening on December 21: The Japanese by The Chedi Andermatt and Gütsch by Markus Neff
The mastermind behind the highest Japanese restaurant in Switzerland is executive chef Dietmar Sawyere, who has already earned a Michelin star for the main restaurant The Japanese in The Chedi Andermatt. Head chef Markus Neff and his team, with 18 Gault&Millau points, are using local products to put clear and simple pleasure on the plate.
At a panoramic location above Andermatt at over 2,300 m a.s.l. stands the impressive new building, created by London architect Christina Seilern, who also designed the new Andermatt Concert Hall. With this new foodie hotspot at the mountain station of the Gütsch-Express, "haute cuisine" now applies literally: The gourmet offering of The Japanese by The Chedi Andermatt includes shidashi bentō, omakase and kaiseke meals, as well as sushi and tempura specialities. Guests who somehow manage to lift their eyes from their plate of culinary excellence will be rewarded: The restaurant, which seats only 44 people, offers views of the Gotthard, Oberalpass and the Ursern Valley. An additional 45 outdoor seats await guests on the terrace.

About The Chedi Andermatt
The five-star deluxe hotel The Chedi Andermatt in the heart of the Swiss Alps opened on 6 December 2013 and can be reached via three Alpine passes from the major cities of Munich, Milan and Zurich. Jean-Michel Gathy of Denniston Architects is responsible for the design, which fuses alpine chic with Asian elements. Clearly evident in the 123 rooms and suites are the harmony with nature and the attention to detail, which are hallmarks of the entire hotel. Natural materials, panorama windows and over 200 fireplaces bring the Andermatt mountain landscape into the cosy rooms. The Chedi Andermatt offers its guests a wide range of culinary delights: In The Restaurant (14 GaultMillau points), exciting and delicious combinations of Western and Asian cuisine are prepared in the four open studio kitchens. The Japanese Restaurant (1 Michelin star and 16 GaultMillau points) is exceptional in the Swiss Alps, with authentic Japanese dishes prepared by Japanese chefs at the tempura and sushi/sashimi bars. Another highlight is the 2,400-square-metre The Spa and Health Club, with its exclusive sauna landscape, ten deluxe spa suites, hydrothermal baths, 35-metre-long indoor pool covered by a glass roof and heated 12-metre-long outdoor pool with views of the impressive alpine backdrop. Guests can relax with Asian-inspired treatments using natural products from Tata Harper and Omorovicza.
