Kitchen & Team
The profession behind the dishes
In Peter Hagen-Wiest’s kitchen, a passion for craftsmanship and an appreciation of the original ingredients character take centre stage. The classic French foundation is reimagined with bold, natural flavours. The 2-star Michelin chef draws inspiration from Portugal, Asia and the Mediterranean regions for his internationally inspired creations.
Focus on product quality
The foundation is laid by our exquisite selection of products, which promise uncompromising quality. Most of the vegetables used are regional and sourced from our own biodynamic cultivation. True to the motto ‘less is more’, elegant and precise plate presentations and elaborate handcrafted details will surprise you without overwhelming you.

Attention to detail
Peter Hagen-Wiest’s cuisine is unmistakable in its expression and rich in flavour. While remaining down-to-earth at its core, it is also interpreted in a varied and contemporary way. Fine nuances, precise aromas and thoughtful combinations create excitement on the plate without being overwhelming. Details are not an end in themselves, but always serve to enhance enjoyment.
Peter Hagen-Wiest
Maintaining two Michelin stars for over twelve years requires one thing above all else: consistently working to the highest standards and constantly reaffirming quality. This is not possible without a solid foundation. “You have to master the basics so that you can build on them. You also need a keen eye for detail,” says Peter Hagen-Wiest. At Ammolite, consistency is not just a promise, but a lived aspiration.
The kitchen meets this standard every day, delivering precision, care, and a clear commitment to providing the same reliable experience every time you visit. This is how trust is built: in the cuisine, in the style, and in a place you can always rely on.
