CLASSIC CUISINE

Great chefs sometimes like to work in several dimensions, and Philippe Audonnet, our Chef de Cuisine, has his own special way of creating new dishes. First he finds the most appropriate tastes and textures, then he draws the result on paper, ensuring every ingredient goes towards creating a striking visual effect on the plate. Finally, Philippe perfects his recipe, bring the food to life with a style of cooking that blends innovation with traditional excellence.

But while Philippe delights in creating new and exciting combinations, there is always a place on his menus for the classic dishes that have withstood the test of time and for the ‘comfort’ foods that sometimes answer our real desires. An event that perfectly encapsulates this approach is our magnificent Afternoon Tea. Served with finger sandwiches, crème brûlée, scones and jams, and fresh fruit, this is a traditional treat to relish while comfortably seated in our Windows restaurant overlooking Lake Geneva.
