Three high-end gourmet occasions will be taking place at Severins from 17 to 23 February 2020, including: A 'Tom Aikens' evening in the Severins Restaurant, which is open to the general public; A 'Tom Aikens and Kevin Szalai' evening in the Severins Restaurant, which is also open to the general public; and a special event for the Private Residence guests only.

Severins is renowned for defying culinary expectations in Lech, with Chef Szalai, at age just 26, creating impressive and immaculately presented dishes that champion local producers.

His signature dish is Deer & Moss, inspired by the abundant moss that grows on the mountains surrounding Severins, which he freezes for the winter season.

This season, Chef Szalai also launches Severins first vegan menu, making sure that all guests can enjoy his signature tastes, focus on local provenance and exceptional quality.

Tom Aikens is one of the most highly acclaimed and Michelin awarded chefs in the UK, who has been an inspiring force on the British gourmet scene for nearly 30 years, and is also a keen skier.
