Chef of the Vivanda restaurant in Switzerland
Dario Cadonau, owner of the In Lain Cadonau hotel in Brail, the smallest 5-star luxury hotel in Switzerland, is a Michelin-starred Chef renowned for his talent. Inspired by the surrounding nature, he focuses on seasonal and local products from the Engadine, expressing boundless creativity.
“It’s important to serve our guests what we find right on our doorstep. The region and forests of the Engadin offer everything needed for a rich and generous cuisine. I believe that’s exactly what our guests are looking for — and that’s what we put into practice every day.”
Chef Dario Cadonau, passionate about local cuisine and environmentally committed, sources his ingredients from local producers in the Engadin region to offer his guests a true Alpine experience, from the very first amuse-bouche to dessert.
He also produces his own traditional alpine cheese, made from raw milk from valley cows, a practice that perfectly embodies the spirit of Garden Gastronomy in harmony with La Grande Dame.

In a warm setting with elegant woodwork, the fine-dining restaurant Vivanda showcases a cuisine rooted in local products, presented through a modern tasting menu. Deeply committed, Chef Dario Cadonau highlights exceptional ingredients that reflect his love for the region.
The restaurant has been awarded a score of 17 by Gault & Millau.
Inspired by Madame Clicquot’s audacious spirit, Garden Gastronomy, born in 2021, is an initiative that brings together a community of Michelin-starred chefs from around the world, creating bespoke food and champagne pairings specially imagined for La Grande Dame.
This approach invites a rediscovery of taste through a truly authentic culinary experience. The chefs’ creativity is expressed through the celebration of garden-grown ingredients—freshly harvested fruits and vegetables—echoing those cultivated in the Maison’s emblematic kitchen garden at the Manoir de Verzy.
