In addition to stints across Europe, Carsten has honed his craft around the world, working in Dubai, UAE, and Turks and Caicos island. Through these experiences he has developed his style and a particular interest in Asian-inspired cuisines. This appreciation is what led him to The Chedi Andermatt.
