  • Hanselmann’s (833-3864), a confectionery shop in the heart of town, serves the best hot chocolate and freshly squeezed blood orange juice imaginable.

Lunch

  • Unlike the United States, lunch is a major event in Switzerland even on powder days. St. Moritz has a number of fabulous restaurants on the side of the mountain that are run by the farmers whose cows graze on these pastures in the winter. They are usually mid-slope in small stone huts with snow-laden roofs. Their outdoor terraces usually face south to take full advantage of the afternoon sun.
  • Restaurant Mathis (833-6355), which is in the tram building at the top of Corviglia. It is a 5-star place serving champagne and caviar burgers.

on Piz Nair

  • Alpina Hutte just above the top of the Corviglia lift
  • Paradiso Hutte near Suvretta

On the Corvatsch Glacier

  • there is a small restaurant between the top and mid-station whose name I can’t remember, but has a view to die for.

Dinner Evening meals are sensational, although you’ll be surprised how expensive wine is.

  • Chesa Veglia (832-2800) owned by the Palace, just up the hill from the hotel is among the best. There are two dining rooms, the grill (fancy), and the pizzeria (not as casual as it sounds).
  • Chadofo Grill
  • Patrizier Stueben
  • Pizzeria Heuboden.
  • I love the sleighride in the Fextal to a little hotel for fondue, or the Engadin in town.
  • Krone on via Tinus (less formal, family style, with beautiful paneling) is great for its raclette.
  • Near the Suvretta House on the edge of town is Restaurant Chasellas.
