I tell myself

I am Regis Mayor, a Valaisan from the Val d'Hérens who at the age of 15, one fine day decided to leave his small village of St. Martin to go to Crans-Montana to be an apprentice cook at the Hotel du Golf. There I met Paola with whom I fell in love and joined the following season in Ticino. I found a job in Locarno at Hotel La Palma where I stayed 7 years, the last 2 as sous-chef. Then, in 1986, I took over a small restaurant in the center of the village of Maggia for 6 years, after which I returned to Locarno, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, to run a café-bar for a decade. Later I worked 3 years as a cook in an elderly home also in Locarno. In 2006 I had the opportunity to take over the management of Grotto Brunoni in Golino, the first village at the mouth of the Centovalli, a grotto that was already started two centuries ago, back in 1896. Where I passionately developed a traditional cuisine inspired by the aromas, colors and flavors of this land.
