Enjoy a traditional mid-winter Christmas long lunch inspired by Chef Michael Robitsch Austrian upbringing.
Michael grew up in Klagenfurt, close to the Austrian border with Italy. Serving his apprenticeship in a fine dining French restaurant, moving on to work in Michelin star restaurants Burghotel Oberlech and Wulfenia Hotel Salzburg. With a passion for travel, Mike has worked in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Cayman Islands in the Caribbean on route to New Zealand.
