Twin brothers take The Japanese Restaurant in Andermatt to three Michelin stars as Switzerland's new guide is revealed
Cuisine Helvetica lists every Swiss star and award; Tageskarte has the twins' story, including why they cut tables from 17 to 12.
The Michelin Guide revealed its new Swiss selection on Monday, Nov. 2, at a ceremony in the Andermatt concert hall. The one new three-star restaurant is The Japanese Restaurant at The Chedi Andermatt, run by identical twins Dominik Sato and Fabio Toffolon, who have cooked there together since May 2023. That makes five Swiss three-star restaurants, alongside Memories (Bad Ragaz), Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl (Basel), the Restaurant de l'Hôtel de Ville (Crissier) and Schloss Schauenstein (Fürstenau).
Tageskarte, citing Gault&Millau, reports that the brothers cut the restaurant from 17 tables to 12 and that revenue still rose. No new two-star restaurants were named; Switzerland has 22. Seven restaurants earned a first star, including rémy in Zürich, ad lib in Zermatt and Schlüssel by Tanja Grandits in Oberwil, and 11 new Bib Gourmands were added. Tageskarte counts 133 starred restaurants in all (Cuisine Helvetica says 132); last year's guide had 145, according to Keystone-SDA.
