Ayurveda Chef Singh Balvinger from India

House Chef, Walia, is convinced that, “with proper nutrition, one doesn’t need medicine.“ He comes from India, worked for several years in Germany’s best Ayurveda restaurants and has been at the Sonnhof for three years. Mr. Balvinger has coined the term “European Ayurveda Cuisine“ as the culinary brand in the Sonnhof. He considers the fundamentals of Ayurveda regarding the balance of energy and flatters the European flavour with the use of domestic ingredients such as herbs, spices, vegetables and fruit.
