Schloss Schauenstein
No.52 World's 50 Best 2025 — elite chef
Veronica's Take
Nestled in the remote Swiss town of Fürstenau, Schloss Schauenstein is a castle-turned-dining destination that feels like a fairy tale come to life, perched atop a mountain and offering nine boutique bedrooms for those who want to linger in its enchantment. Chef Andreas Caminada, ranked No.52 in the World's 50 Best 2025, has turned this oak-panelled haven into a temple of Swiss culinary precision, where dishes range from minimalist single-ingredient masterpieces to complex symphonies of flavour and artful presentation. For those willing to make the pilgrimage, the combination of romantic ambiance and meticulously crafted cuisine makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience that justifies the journey.
