Restaurant Memories, located in the stunning Grand Resort Bad Ragaz in Switzerland, is a culinary haven that celebrates the essence of Swiss terroir. Helmed by Sven Wassmer, a visionary chef renowned for his commitment to sustainability and innovation, the restaurant boasts three Michelin stars and a Green Star for its eco-conscious practices.

Born and raised in Switzerland, Wassmer’s culinary journey is deeply tied to his home country. After training at some of the most prestigious restaurants in Europe, including a formative stint at Andreas Caminada’s Schloss Schauenstein, he developed a profound appreciation for the interplay between nature and cuisine. Wassmer’s philosophy revolves around seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, often foraged or supplied by regional artisans, ensuring that every dish tells a story of the surrounding Alpine landscape.

At Memories, Wassmer draws inspiration from Switzerland’s diverse ecosystems, transforming wild herbs, mountain trout, and forest mushrooms into artistic plates that evoke the beauty of the region. His inventive approach combines modern techniques with deep respect for tradition, creating a dining experience that is both sophisticated and deeply rooted in nature. Beyond the kitchen, Wassmer is an advocate for sustainability, collaborating with local producers to minimize waste and support ethical practices.

Under his leadership, Memories offers not just a meal, but a journey into the heart of Switzerland’s natural bounty, making it a must-visit destination for food enthusiasts worldwide.
