Green Dining: Natural and Sustainable
Castanea harmoniously blends global products with local ingredients, embodying sustainability as a way of life. Their culinary creations exalt in simple purity, meticulously crafted for perfection. Exclusively sourcing from certified organic farming, they utilize every part of the plant to minimize food waste. Prioritizing local producers, Castanea directly procures meat from Pfäffikon and other local sources. Their aim is to provide an enjoyable dining experience with wholesome, natural dishes that underscore their dedication to sustainable living.
Seasonal Delights: Varied Menus at Castanea
Castanea goes beyond fixed menus in favor of crafting dishes that align with seasonal availability. Guests at Castanea have the option to select from either a 7-course or 9-course menu. Additionally, upon request, they offer perfectly paired wines or, more recently, juices to enhance the overall dining experience.
Customized Dining Experience
At Castanea, accommodating individual needs is essential to ensuring a pleasant dining experience for all guests. They prioritize understanding dietary preferences and allergies, information that is crucial for making reservations. Additionally, they tailor their menus to accommodate specific meat preferences, ensuring a seamless and delightful culinary journey. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, provided guests inform them at least one week in advance. This proactive approach ensures that every guest can enjoy a perfect evening without any delays.

Castanea offers catering services, whether at their restaurant, at other venues, or at home. They have catered events such as the World Economic Forum (WEF), the polo tournament in St. Moritz, Marcel Munz’s «Mutrea» project at Alesca in Fehraltorf and Basel Fashion Night.
