Since taking over the renowned restaurant Stucki in Basel fifteen years ago, Tanja Grandits has earned two Michelin stars with her unmistakable monochrome cuisine. But the monochrome touch is just one aspect of her culinary approach. The other is her commitment to bringing kindness into the kitchen.
Born and raised in Germany, Tanja Grandits opened her first restaurant in 2001. Seven years later, she took over Restaurant Stucki, awarded with two Michelin stars in 2016 and 19 Gault Millau points in 2019. In 2023 she became a full Swiss citizen and was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz for her outstanding commitment as a culinary ambassador.
«I think it's incredibly important to be friendly and respectful to each other and to strike the right tone. If people are relaxed and can work in a great atmosphere, they cook much better». Tanja Grandits
