Swiss-born David Hartwig, Head Chef at IGNIV Bangkok by Andreas Caminada, brings his calm and precise demeanor, amplifying creativity through his team at the 1-Michelin-starred restaurant at The St. Regis Bangkok. David is a long-time collaborator of Chef Andreas Caminada, handpicked by the founding chef to bring IGNIV’s joie de vivre to diners in Bangkok since 2020.

Prior to Chef Andreas’s 3-Michelin-starred restaurant Schloss Schauenstein in Switzerland, the talented chef worked alongside other highly acclaimed names including Martin Goeschel (now The Alpina Gstaad*, Switzerland), Daniel Humm (The NoMad Hotel*, New York) Esben Holmboe Bang (Stage at Maaemo***, Oslo) James Kent (Crown Shy*, New York), and Kurt Gutenbrunnen (Wallsé*, New York).

“A visit at IGNIV should always be about comfort. You should be able to enjoy a great time with your friends and loved ones without feeling the experience is staged – it should feel like home, just with a top-class service in an amazing setting. Our food is light, playful, and tasty, and our seasonal menus follow the local and international seasons to showcase the best possible products on the market,” said David Hartwig, Head Chef at IGNIV Bangkok by Andreas Caminada. In addition to cooking, David shares a passion for sports.
