Baschi Goms is one of those restaurants you would never know about and one of those that don't seem to advertise to anyone. It is in the middle on nowhere in Swiss countryside, it's small and seems to require advance bookings. I just realized it made the Michellin Guide 2016 restaurant and for good reasons:
1. It uses traditional open wood-fire grilling and roasting
2. All food is natural and locally sourced probably from the chef's family farm of relative's farms
3. I had Reindeer tartare for starter dressed with sliced raclette (it was my first time eating raw non-smoked reindeer) Very delicious, the wine pairing enhanced the flavors
4. We sat close to the wood-fire and watched the raclette melt on a piece of steak and brought right to my plate. It was very tender and full of flavor.
5. For desert i had a bowl of wild berries topped with vanilla ice-cream. The berries were tangy tasting and refreshing
6. I don't know how much the food cost
This is one of my best dining experiences in my entire life. We ate lunch at this restaurant during a road trip from The Locarno film festival to Zermatt with family friends who noted they had made the reservation a year in advance. Upon arrival we were immediately seated, there was no line. There were less than 12 tables.
The service was personal and everyone was friendly. To get to this restaurant may prove to be challenging for people unfamiliar with the Swiss countryside. This is one of those dinning experiences worth planning one's life around at some point. I don't think i managed to fully and articulately describe my experience here. It was memorable for the food, the service and the wine. read more
