Excellence comes in many shapes and forms, but one thing is constant: the quest to achieve the best possible result – whatever the discipline and regardless of the starting point. Markus Arnold, Bern’s most innovative restaurateur, is convinced that what makes a good chef into an excellent chef is a love of food and cooking. Whatever he’s doing, Markus Arnold has a relatively simple personal principle for ensuring outstanding quality in his profession: “An excellent chef must love their work. I’m actually convinced that something will only taste good if it’s been cooked by a happy chef.”
