Patrick Mahler
«Cooking has fascinated me for as long as I can remember – using fresh food and a few skillful creative touches to create an unforgettable moment of pleasure: just wow!»
Excellent product quality, finely balanced flavour profiles and creative dishes – including the signature dish of duck liver ice cream, beetroot and beef tartare – define the experience. In his creations, Patrick Mahler and his team capture the spirit of contemporary, refined cuisine. Situated directly on the lakeshore, the setting could not be more perfect: panoramic windows offer breathtaking views of the water and surrounding mountains. Attentive service, an exceptional wine cellar with over 35,000 bottles, and an elegant atmosphere with a spectacular lake view make the Focus ATELIER a place of culinary clarity,
individuality and inspiration.
