THE EPICURE – Days of Culinary Masterpieces
Launched by Chef Fine Dining Heiko Nieder back in 2014, the gourmet festival THE EPICURE is already considered a fixed point in the culinary calendar for all gourmets and connoisseurs. As part of the event’s eighth edition, you can once again look forward to a six-day festival from 27 June to 2 July 2023 featuring elite chefs from both Switzerland and abroad, and a superb programme with the Evenings and the Final.
As a partner, take advantage of the numerous opportunities to showcase your profile when Heiko Nieder and his team once again transform the Dolder Grand into a first-class gourmet retreat.
THE WORLD’S TOP CHEFS
When host Heiko Nieder invites to his exquisite round table, the world’s best chefs don’t hesitate. Past editions of THE EPICURE have been attended by Massimo Bottura, a leading figure in the new generation of Italian chefs, and Tim Raue, one of the world’s best chefs. For the anniversary edition in 2018, we had the honour of welcoming one of the most renowned chefs of the past century, Eckart Witzigmann, to the Dolder Grand. The seventh edition in 2019 saw Alvin Leung from Hong Kong, known for his experimental, wild and provocative creations, and Taiwanese Jimmy Lim Tyan Yaw, with his refined and novel cuisine, following Heiko Nieder’s invitation. 2022 was then a truly international event, with top chefs from three continents, including Australia’s top-rated chef, Peter Gilmore, and Julien Royer from Singapore’s Odette restaurant.
