"Gault Millau" crowns the 32-year-old Marco Campanella from Eden Roc Ascona is chef of the year

Marco Campanella, head chef of the "La Brezza" restaurant at the Eden Roc Hotel in Ascona, has received the award. The "Gault Millau" restaurant guide awarded the 32-year-old 19 out of a possible 20 points.

Campanella fascinates with his incredible sauces, his versatility and his talent for inspiring a young team for his mission, wrote the jury of the "Gault Millau" restaurant guide in a statement on Monday. The fact that he also makes vegans happy "as a matter of course" also sets him apart.

Born in Germany with Italian roots, he cooks at the "La Brezza" restaurant in the Hotel Eden Roc in Ascona in summer and at the "Tschuggen" in Arosa in winter.
