During his youth, Claus-Peter Lumpp— a celebrity in Germany—studied at the school of French chef Alain Ducasse, and immediately stood out for its professionalism and talent.
What he learned throughout his years of studies helped him become a chef that masterfully combines elegance and quality. Seasonal products are at the heart of the chef’s creations.
Interestingly, Lumpp worked as a chef at Bareiss after completing his studies and, years later, in 1992, he returned to take the helm of the restaurant, getting his third Michelin star in 2007.
