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 light dishes for summer days, including many salads, such as the “Mulets” salad – richly garnished with fried chicken breast strips, egg, bacon, parmesan and tomatoes. But today we are here to keep the pizzaiolo busy, he is already waiting in the wings at the wood-fired oven.
We decide on the “Luna” pizza with rocket, bacon, artichokes and porcini mushrooms and rub our hands together with relish. At the next table something interesting is also served, a lukewarm potato salad with fried small squid (moscardini) and olives on a nut salad. Our mouths water. As if the service could read our thoughts, he comes around the corner just at that moment with a steaming pizza. We take a nose full, if the pizza tastes like it smells, it gets 100 points. In fact, the base is nice and crispy, has a few bubbles (a sign of quality for us), the ingredients are fresh and we enjoy every bite. The pizzaiolo knows his craft! But we also find the other dishes interesting, from Älpler Rösti and Speckpizokel to a fine Tagliata di Manzo or a Cordon Bleu with mountain cheese and raw ham, Mulets offers more than just very fine pizzas. What we also find great: The establishment offers a nice children’s menu and is family-friendly. In addition, the pizzas can also be ordered small. Ci vediamo!
