Brasserie

A kitchen open to guests.

The villa’s kitchen changes hands — a home for guest chefs and pop-up kitchens, from a single dinner to a whole season.

The Idea

A kitchen that changes hands.

Villa Beaulieu doesn’t keep a fixed restaurant. Instead the kitchen opens to guest chefs and pop-up kitchens — cooks who come for a night, a weekend, or a season, and set the tone of the dining room while they are here. The room stays the same: dark green velvet, a marble counter, the lake behind the windows.

So far this has happened mostly in winter. We have cooked with pop-up chefs from London to the Engadin — in the house, for guests of the villa and friends from the valley.

Ways to cook here

Open to guest chefs.

If you cook the way we do — seasonal, personal, rooted in a place — the kitchen is open to you. It can take a few forms:

A single evening

A pop-up dinner

One night, or a handful. You bring the menu; we set the room and the table.

A few days

A guest-chef weekend

A short residency — cooking lunch and dinner for the house across a weekend or a week.

A season, or more

A longer partnership

An ongoing collaboration for chefs and producers who want a home in the Engadin.

Enquiries

Cook at the villa.

Tell us how you cook and what you have in mind — a single dinner, a weekend, or a longer stay. We work with chefs and producers who cook seasonally and personally, and we reply to every note ourselves.

Dining

When a chef is in.

When the kitchen is open, the dining room welcomes guests of the villa and, by reservation, friends from the valley. Write to us to hear what — and who — is cooking.
