Uber-luxury Badrutt’s Palace in St. Moritz, Switzerland’s iconic high-altitude winter retreat, gained fresh culinary appeal this season with the arrival of Chef Andreas Caminada’s latest restaurant. Caminada, whose Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau has earned three Michelin stars and high praise from GaultMillau, brings his refined cuisine to the Engadin valley.
Opening on Dec. 21, the St. Moritz location is the second IGNIV-branded restaurant from Caminada and follows the warm, convivial concept established at IGNIV Grand Resort Bad Ragaz. Situated in the former Le Relais dining room at Badrutt’s Palace, the new venue aims to recreate the intimate, shared-dining experience the brand is known for while complementing the hotel’s storied elegance.
Guests can expect a focus on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients prepared with Caminada’s signature attention to technique and detail, presented in a relaxed setting designed for conviviality rather than formal tasting menus. The IGNIV format typically centers on small plates meant to be enjoyed family-style, encouraging leisurely meals and conversation—an appealing fit for Badrutt’s Palace’s international clientele seeking both exceptional cuisine and a welcoming atmosphere.
Positioning the restaurant within a landmark hotel in St. Moritz reinforces the destination’s reputation as a nexus of luxury hospitality and world-class dining. For travelers who value both alpine charm and culinary excellence, the new IGNIV at Badrutt’s Palace adds a contemporary option that complements the resort’s longstanding traditions, offering memorable meals amid the dramatic mountain scenery.
While precise details such as hours and reservation procedures will be confirmed by the hotel and restaurant, the collaboration signals a commitment to elevate St. Moritz’s gastronomic scene through a modern interpretation of fine dining that emphasizes sharing, seasonality and a relaxed yet sophisticated environment.
