ENGA-DINE
Have fun discovering and tasting!
Segantini Hut: Picture book-chamanna
We get up in good time because we want to hike up to the Segantini Hut. From Muottas Muragl it's quite stubborn, but we are rewarded - once we reach the top - with a paradisiacal view. The team at the Segantini Hut is cleaning the round tables and setting up the wooden tables. This is the place to be! Far away from the hustle and bustle, with a panoramic view that you have to take in...
Stüva Colani: Gourmet Chesa
Good things come to those who wait. This is also the case with Stüva Colani in Madulain. The Michelin-starred restaurant had been on our radar for a while, and this summer it finally worked out! Since we have a puppy with us, we are allowed to dine in the separate room or in the wine room. What an ambiance! And what a menu! We decide on the four-course menu and are curious about the...
Pizzeria Mulets: Buonissimo!
We have heard a lot of good things about the Pizzeria Mulets right next to the campsite in Silvaplana. Now we want to try it out. The fact that we arrive shortly before 12 noon pays off, because we are assigned an honourable table by the window with a view of Lake Silvaplana. With the menu comes a bread basket and a chilli butter on the table. The menu is clearly laid out, offering...
Badrutt’s Palace: Tea-Time!
We admit it: We are big fans of Badutt's Palace and love the charm of the hotel lobby and "Le Grand Hall". Guests and locals (at least before Covid) meet here, a scent of the wide world is in the air, but also the impressive history of the founding family Badrutt. We like to come here for aperitifs and enjoy the musical setting (piano players or, in winter, sometimes a live band) and...
Arvenstube: Fine Dine with Wine!
We have been looking forward to an evening in the Arvenstube for a long time. Once we enter the rustic dining room, we immediately notice the fine smell of Swiss pine wood, and pictures by Gottardo Segantini, for example, hang on the walls. In such surroundings it is a pleasure to eat. Also because the menu offers something for everyone. Classics such as Stroganoff, Züri Gschnätzlets...
Anton’s Bar: Gin-Wedding
The Suvretta House is the place to get married! However, that doesn't fit into our budget at the moment - nevertheless, we always get to enjoy a Suvretta's Wedding: That's the name of a cocktail that we have learned to appreciate. With two different gins (the bar stocks almost 40 different varieties), lime juice, St. Germain liqueur and tonic - it's pure refreshment served chilled. The...
Chesa Veglia: Somehow charming!
The Pizzeria Heuboden in the Chesa Veglia is always well frequented. It is a hotspot because the ambience in the time-honored patrician house alone is fascinating. Then there are the pizza makers who go about their work at the wood-burning oven in front of the guests, the children watch with wide eyes when the pizzaiolos push the topped dough into the oven with their shovels. But also...
Alp Muottas: Kaiserschmarrn!
The Alp Muottas is simply a bijou! On nice days, the sun terrace with a unique view from Muottas Muragl is inviting, when it rains, you can sit down in the cozy parlor at the large wooden table and chat with the hosts Christian and Franziska. A friendly couple who fell in love up here. The alpine farmer is a native Tyrolean and serves with his sweetheart up here a nice alpine snack...
Talvo: A stroke of luck!
We find: Martin Dalsass and his Talvo are a stroke of luck for the Engadine! Located in a time-honored Engadine house in the tranquil village of Champfer, the Michelin-starred restaurant offers the ideal backdrop for a first-class dining experience. For one that fills not only the palate, but also the soul. We take a seat, breathe in the fine smell of Swiss stone pine and order an...
Pavarotti & Friends: Colossale!
They exist - these places where you feel at home from the first moment like a bear in a honey jar. Where everything is just right, the interior, the atmosphere, the service, the music, the food - and of course the vino. With Deny at Pavarotti's it was love at first sight. Italianità at its best with a host who seems to simply love people and conviviality. Along with watches, wine and...
Pur Alps: Alpine Dream!
At Pur Alps on Via Maistra 33 opposite the Kulm Hotel, so much is just right: the range of selected products, mostly from the Alpine region, from wine, dried meat and cheese (there's also Belper Knolle!), to muesli, Schüttelbrot, pastries and dried fruit from small producers. Fresh vegetables and fruit are also on offer, along with dairy products, smoked salmon and special spice...
Alto Bar: Chill & Grill
After a long hike, the lounge area of the Alto Bar right by the Chantarella cable car/intermediate station Corviglia is as inviting as a second home: music is playing, you can stretch your legs in a four-seater chair with a view of St. Moritz and smile at the sun. Because there is a fine barbecue scent in the air, we definitely want to have a snack as well. Today's grill chef...
Memories by Sven Wassmer: Alpine magic
We are taking a culinary trip to the Unterland. We have heard that Sven Wassmer (2 Michelin stars) offers exquisite Alpine cuisine at the Quellenhof in Bad Ragaz. One that tastes strongly of local and natural products, of Alpine magic and herb gardens. What we find great: Wassmer and his brigade cook in an open kitchen in front of the guests, the chefs focus on transparency and...
Romantic hotel Muottas Muragl: view included!
The cable car pulls up the mountain. Punctually at 12 o'clock we arrive on the terrace and enjoy the unique view. We have reserved a table in the shade and curiously look at the menu. Word has spread that the food here is fresh and fine. Difficult to decide with all the creative dishes. The beautifully arranged plates that are carried past us make our mouths water. The flat-beaten...
