A long overdue review of this nice restaurant that we visited in September. My friends and I visited this restaurant after a full day hiking outdoors, so we were pretty hungry. Our waitress seemed a little grumpy at first but she quickly warmed up to this and turned out to be quite patient and friendly. Just be aware that German is the main language there, so ordering can be a little challenging if you don't speak any. I speak some German and there was helpful gentleman on the staff who spoke decent English, so we were able to get the menu figured out.
Fortunately, it was fall and hunting season was in full swing, so one of the meat options was venison (Hirsch), which I promptly ordered and which came with a variety of sides. In addition, I also wanted to try the barley soup.
Picture yourself, breathing fresh mountain air, sitting in a quaint cozy restaurant with white walls, wooden beams and tables, situated on the square of a little mountain village, on top of a hill, in the beautiful and picturesque Engadin region of Switzerland and you already feel like you have been rewarded in this life with a beautiful experience even before the food arrives.
The food was very nice. While the preparations may not have been the most avant garde preparations, you could tell the food had been prepared with care, love and attention, probably using tried and trusted recipes. There is a reason some dishes are classics, the flavors and the combinations just work. We all had great meals that we thoroughly enjoyed. Being in the Engadin region, I simply could not pass up trying a classic Engadin nusstorte (think pecan pie but better) to finish an already wonderful meal. Dining there wasn't cheap (close to 200 Euros for 3 people include tip) but nothing is cheap in Switzerland. We had essentially ordered 3 courses each and I was happily stuffed. Definitely worth visiting.
PS. If the weather allows it, definitely check out the view from the back terrace. It is simply spectacular. read more
