The Path
Silvio Germann’s route through the trade is marked by responsibility taken on in sequence: Lucerne-born cook, Head Chef at IGNIV in Bad Ragaz, then Head Chef at Mammertsberg in Freidorf. The line between those posts is measured, not dramatic, but it shows the kind of progression kitchens build on: service rhythm, leadership, and the ability to carry a room without overstatement. At IGNIV in Bad Ragaz, Germann worked as Head Chef, a position that put him inside the daily pressure of a demanding service. That role sits as the key middle step in his career, connecting the earlier ground of his training to the kitchen he leads today in Freidorf.
The Work Today
At Mammertsberg in Freidorf, Germann’s work is defined by creative, modern cuisine. The style is contemporary in form and deliberate in execution, with the emphasis placed on clarity and control rather than display. Apple Ravioli is the named signature that gives that approach a fixed point. It stands for the kitchen’s current language: modern, creative, and specific to the restaurant in Freidorf. The shape of the career remains straightforward: a Lucerne-born cook, a Head Chef post at IGNIV in Bad Ragaz, and the role he holds now at Mammertsberg.

Acclaim
In 2016, Germann was named Discovery of the Year in German-speaking Switzerland.
