Sometime in the early 1980s, Mehmet Aglamaz made his way from Anatolia to Fiss as a young man. His brother was already working at the "Alt Fiss" (predecessor of today's Chesa Monte) at the time and had urged him to come to Austria as well. The "Alt Fiss" was the "in" place in Fiss at the time. Traditional Tyrolean cuisine with a touch of the exotic - plus daily live music and après-ski.
Mehmet Aglamaz
Mehmet started his career at Chesa Monte in the traditional way as a dishwasher - through in-house training and courses, he continued to develop his skills and rose to become the head chef's deputy. After many years of loyalty to Chesa Monte, Mehmet decided to take the plunge and became self-employed. Over the years, he founded a very successful greengrocer's shop and ran several restaurants and pizzerias.
In 2021, Mehmet handed over his business to his eldest son and came back to the roots at Chesa Monte.
"It is not good cooking if it is not made out of friendship with the person for whom it is intended." Paul Bocuse
And what is Mehmet doing at Chesa Monte today?
Mehmet is our „breakfast king“ – the indescribable variety at the breakfast buffet is his work. It is very important to him that everyone finds something for themselves. Whether savory or sweet, cold or warm, the choice at the breakfast buffet is limitless. His aim is to pamper all guests (paying particular attention to the needs of allergy sufferers). Always trying out and serving new delicacies.
And countless reviews on Holidaycheck, in which Mehmet is praised to the skies, testify to the fact that he is 100% successful in this.
Communicating with guests, joking with them and making sure they have a good breakfast so that they can start a sporty day in good shape - that's the motivation for what he does.
And the pampering program continues
Strudel buffet, Kiachla and Kaiserschmarren – everything that makes the „Süßen afternoon“ an experience, Mehmet serves over the course of a week.
What could be better than enjoying the afternoon on the hotel terrace with a piece of homemade apple strudel and a good cup of coffee? A chat with friends, a joke with Mehmet - so carefree and filled with delicacies are vacation days at Chesa Monte.
Mehmet private
Not far from Fiss, Mehmet has created a home for his family. In addition to his wife, his extended family includes 3 children and children-in-law. His two grandsons make his happiness perfect. His passions are swimming and traveling. These two hobbies can be perfectly combined on a vacation in his old home country of Turkey. But in the meantime, "being a grandpa" soon takes precedence over these two hobbies ;-).
