Testimonial *Swiss Diploma in Culinary Arts at Alpine Center *BA(Hons) International Food & Beverage Management


Constantin Giebler came to Alpine Center all the way from Costa Rica to study Culinary Arts. He completed the two-year Swiss Diploma in Culinary Arts and topped it with a BA(Hons) International Food & Beverage Management conferred  by University of Wales. He has now completed his industry placement.

Constantin Giebler in the kitchen of Restaurant La Rive, Amsterdam.
Constantin says: 

"I work permanently as the entremetier in the kitchen of Restaurant La Rive, a Michelin star restaurant, part of the Intercontinental Amstel Amsterdam. The most expensive and luxurious hotel in all of Amsterdam. For many months we were ranked #1 restaurant in all of Amsterdam by Tripadvisor. We are ranked 7th best in Holland. 

I am extremely happy here and moving up fast as I have been promoted already from cold kitchen chef to  warm kitchen garnish chef, and have incorporated myself in some groups such as the environmental team in order to gain knowledge and show pro-activity. 

Amsterdam is a great city, with so much to offer. I am truly happy here."


"I thank you very much Mrs. Hofmann, for everything, as I must say I have it pretty good right now, and owe a lot of that to you and everyone at Alpine. You have open doors for me and taught me things that have enabled me to fulfill my dreams and live the life I wanted to. So again, for that I thank you."


Now Constantin belongs to our Alpine Alumni Ambassadors Association and we will be happy to be kept informed about his career progress. Same applies for all our Alpine Alumni.

We are so proud of you Constantin!

Gordon Ramsay Is Coming To Greece

Gordon James Ramsay, OBE is a Scottish celebrity chef, restaurateur and television personality. His restaurants have been awarded 15 Michelin stars in total and currently hold 14.


Optomen Television, the BAFTA-winning producers of Channel 4’s Ramsay’s Kitchen Nightmares, is producing a brand new series to be set in Greece. The show’s producers are currently looking for restaurants, hotels and B&B’s in Greece who would like some help from the World’s most famous chef.

Series Producer Nicola Lloyd says “This series will see Gordon travel to Europe’s holiday hotspots to help Brit-owned restaurants, hotels and B&Bs that are struggling to make ends meet.  We’d love to hear from any owners, managers or head chefs who feel they could benefit from Gordon’s help and advice.”



The series will be filmed during May and June and will be broadcast on Channel 4 later in the year.
