PORCINI-TOFU CHAWANMUSH PAIRED WITH RÉMY MARTIN XO BY CHEF VILSON KRASNIC
About Chef Vilson Krasnic
After many years in Michelin starred restaurants with classic and modern French cuisine, Vilson Krasnic found his new passion and his own style in a vegetable-driven cuisine with sustainable, regional ingredients and his well thought out use of meat and fish. He grows with the challenge to create a plant-based menu and an equally good menu with animal products.
Creativity and playfulness are key factors in his approach of creating new dishes.
With only 26 years old, he started his first head chef position at Restaurant “Dal Mulin” in St. Moritz. Therefore, he can already show over 10 years of experience as a head chef and learnt to take responsibility at a young age.
