Einstein Gourmet[edit]
Sebastian Zier left the two-star Michelin Restaurant La Mer at the A-ROSA Sylt resort in 2015 to assume the executive chef position at the Einstein Gourmet restaurant, which is located inside the Hotel Einstein St. Gallen, a boutique hotel and conference center in St. Gallen, Switzerland. Shortly after he began, an employee recommended that Zier consider hiring Ceylan, whom Zier had met in 2013 and who had recently left Amador.[7]
Ceylan relocated to St. Gallen in mid-2015. It quickly became apparent that the two experienced chefs could produce memorable dining experiences together; within two months, Zier and Ceylan decided to pursue a path that is rare in the culinary industry– joint leadership of a gourmet restaurant. The cuisine they created reflects their collective tinkering, which combines Zier’s traditional, classic, French sensibilities and Ceylan’s Arabic, Turkish and Lebanese imagination.[8]
During their first year collaborating, Zier as executive chef and Ceylan as head chef, Einstein Gourmet was awarded 17 Gault & Millau points.[9] Its first Michelin Star followed in 2017. In 2018, Einstein Gourmet was awarded a second Michelin star. “Chefs Sebastian Zier and Moses Ceylan, both from Germany, serve a creative cuisine that is full of flavour in a sophisticated setting overlooking the city.” [10]
Ceylan and Zier shared the Gault & Millau Guide’s 2019 Newcomer of the Year award with Walter Klose, head chef at Zum Gupf.[6]In addition to this recognition, the 2019 Gault & Millau Guide increased the restaurant's point total to 18.

Masterminded by the duo Sebastian Zier and Moses Ceylan are exquisite dishes such as black sepia tagliatelle with scallops, crustacean nage and artichoke, raw milk cheese and beetroot with egoma, buckwheat ice cream and raspberry.“ - Luxury Escapes[12]
“An appealing, fresh interior and cuisine to match. The food, based on excellent ingredients and beautifully presented, is ambitious, sophisticated and fully flavoured.” - Michelin Guide[13]
