Cà d’Oro’s Culinary Philosophy

In the heart of St. Moritz’s glamorous alpine setting lies the Cà d’Oro—a Michelin-starred jewel in the crown of the Grand Hotel des Bains Kempinski.

A Michelin-Starred Jewel in St. Moritz

Under the stewardship of Chef Leopold Ott, the restaurant has forged its own culinary identity: a modern, creative interpretation of Mediterranean cuisine, brilliantly showcased against a backdrop of ornate stucco and glittering chandeliers within a historic 19th-century setting.

The Philosophy of Honouring Produce

The guiding principle at Cà d’Oro is both deceptively simple and profoundly ambitious: to honour exceptional produce while elevating it through artisanal technique. Here, ingredients command deep respect. Main elements such as Wagyu beef, scampi, hamachi and pigeon are sourced from trusted suppliers and treated with the utmost care, whilst accompanying components—humble, everyday vegetables like sauerkraut, kale and onions—are transformed through fermenting, braising, conserving and extracting. Each dish, from the signature tasting menu ‘From Home to Top of the World’, serves as a culinary memoir, evoking the comforting familiarity of Sunday family lunches and the alpine heights of the Engadin.

Balancing Innovation with Authenticity 

By weaving seasonal Swiss produce with top-quality international selections, the Cà d’Oro’s kitchen team achieves a remarkable balance between innovation and authenticity. Ott and his brigade devote days to perfecting even the most nuanced sauces, ensuring that each plate offers not only flavour but also an emotional resonance. Bitterness and acidity frequently appear in subtle measures, lending complexity and surprise to every forkful. The result is gastronomic storytelling at its finest: a reflection of heritage and a gateway to new culinary horizons.
