Meet the head chef
The E&G cooking philosophy
Head chef Christian Weis is a "traditional chef" in the true sense of the word. That means he has an appreciation of Austrian classics and regional delicacies but at the same time is always on the lookout for new trends which can be integrated into the hotel's cooking concept.
Christian's philosophy combines fresh, seasonal produce with creative cooking techniques aimed at preserving the nutrients and goodness we are blessed with here in the Ötztal Valley. "I love steak, for example," he says. "There are lots of fancy methods of preparing it these days, but if the meat is of the highest quality then there is no need to over-complicate things."
