This article is for subscribers only.
The Swiss Michelin Guide today awarded a third star to Schauenstein, a hotel restaurant in the town of Fuerstenau in Graubuenden, making it the first venue to receive the highest ranking in German-speaking Switzerland.
Near the ski resort of Laax, Schauenstein charges 220 Swiss francs ($223) for a seven-course menu. Andreas Caminada is the chef. The total number of three-star restaurants remained unchanged at two, because one establishment, Le Pont de Brent near Montreux, was downgraded to two stars as its management changed, Michelin said in a statement sent by e-mail. The second Swiss three-star restaurant is Philippe Rochat in Crissier, Canton Vaud.
