What lies behind this little creation. It is the work of two areas, the bar and the kitchen, where innovation and flavors of taste are coming together, using Buchi laboratory equipment to create a saturation of the taste buds, we call it sweet and spicy.
A play of flavors-to awake emotions.

The Aletsch Glacier Influence: The Heartbeat of CAAA's Culinary Journey

At CAAA, nature isn’t just an inspiration; it's our muse, mentor, and partner in the culinary dance. Central to this bond is the magnificent Aletsch Glacier, a living testament to the timeless beauty of the Alpine region.

For five enriching years, our team worked in close proximity to this grand icy expanse. Every morning, its pristine views greeted us, its stories whispered in the cold winds, and its mysteries unfolded beneath layers of ancient ice. Such intimate encounters with the Aletsch Glacier have woven its essence deep into the fabric of our culinary narrative.

"The Glacier" dining experience at CAAA is our ode to this relationship. Here, dishes are more than just meals. They encapsulate the glacier’s tranquillity, its profound depths, and its ever-evolving character. From the crisp freshness that mirrors the glacial breezes to the rich, deep flavors reminiscent of its ancient ice corridors, every bite is a journey through the Aletsch's legacy.

This isn't just about fine dining; it's about reliving moments, about feeling the Aletsch's embrace, and about sharing the magic we've experienced firsthand with every guest.

Join us in this homage to a frozen titan, and let the tales of the Aletsch Glacier and the culinary magic of CAAA meld in a symphony of flavors and memories.

CAAA: Beyond Technique and innovation

At the heart of our philosophy lies a profound reverence for nature, especially the untamed beauty and essence of the Alpine regions. Driven by a commitment to sustainability and a passion for transalpine culinary excellence, we've embraced age-old traditions and innovative techniques in harmony.

By harnessing the transformative powers of fermentation, dehydration, and distillation, we distill the very soul of the Alps into exquisite essences. Every creation marries the time-honored with the avant-garde, crafting flavors that resonate with memory and stir the heart.

More than just a dish, what we serve on a plate is a pledge. A pledge to honor and respect the boundless gifts of nature. A promise to tread gently on our planet and champion a sustainable future. Here, culinary artistry melds with responsibility, and each masterpiece becomes an emblem of our dedication.

Under the guidance of Chef and the craftsmanship evident in our kitchen designed by , we invite you on a journey. A journey that celebrates nature, champions sustainability, and showcases the pinnacle of culinary excellence.
