A cuisine combining tradition and modernity
What does he love most of all? Creating dishes that are both traditional and refined, subtly blending Italian and French flavours, combining ancient techniques with contemporary approaches.
“Cooking is everything to me. It’s my garden of inspiration.
A brief stint at Clinique La Prairie in Clarens enriched his approach, enabling him to incorporate more of the health and well-being dimension into his creations, without compromising the originality of the flavours.
Luis Antonio has been working at the Hôtel Royal, a seasonal establishment, for 12 years now. Whenever it is closed, he takes advantage of this time to attend training courses in Italy, alongside Michelin-starred chefs and master pastry chefs, to keep abreast of the latest trends and innovations in contemporary cuisine.
Today, his career path has evolved: he is now Executive Chef. This role not only allows him to work in the kitchen, but also to be in direct contact with customers.
It’s a human dimension that spurs him on every day to perfect his skills, innovate and deliver an ever-improving experience.
His passion? It remains intact: cooking and the art of entertaining, with a strong taste for experimentation, always with respect for tradition.
