Dolder Grand unveils Saltz restaurant
The Dolder Grand has announced new restaurant, Saltz, designed by Artist Rolf Sachs.
The all-day dining restaurant is set to open March 2016 and will provide a range of inspiring culinary creations offering two distinct culinary concepts: the Saltz restaurant, with Chef à la carte Patrick Hetz, and The Restaurant, with Chef Fine Dining Heiko Nieder.
Renowned for creating innovative and emotive works, Sachs draws much of his inspiration from his immediate environment. He interchanges between art and design and is known for surprising audiences – encouraging them to question preconceptions and view objects from a different perspective. For the interior of Saltz, Sachs uses elements of the surrounding Swiss landscape and its cultural references as inspiration.
Sachs combines materials such as neon lights, salt, rock and felt to form artworks and custom made furniture, paired with classic chair designs by Eero Saarinen and Jean Prouvé.
The restaurant has a capacity of 228, divided into 102 indoor, 80 terrace and 46 bar and lounge seating areas. Each area within the restaurant conveys a different ambience and character ranging from contemporary chic to quiet and cosy.
Chef à la carte Patrick Hetz creates international cuisine using locally sourced produce. The Saltz bar will offer guests a number of choices: an aperitif before dinner, light snack in a comfortable setting, or a lively place for single diners.
