Colani Stubli

The cosy Jägerstube! The Colani Stübli will charm you with its cosy Arvenstube. Here we serve modern and traditional Engadine fare but of course the rest of Graubünden, the southern valleys and international favourites are represented on the menu as well.

This is an excellent choice for tasting local specialties while in Pontresina. The décor is very comfortable, the staff quite knowledgeable, and the food was especially tasty. Our wait person helped us decide on dishes that would best reflect local specialties as well as helped in selecting wines to go with the food. Appetizers, entrees, and desserts were all well-prepared and beautifully presented. This is definitely one of the best restaurants in town. It is also well-priced. Good for a quiet evening with friends in a nice atmosphere where you are made to feel welcomed.

This restaurant is by far one of the worst we have ever visited. The food might not be bad but the service is beyond worst. If you don’t have nerves of steel definitely avoid it. Ps writing from the restaurant still waiting for our main course after 1.5 hours

Berghaus Diavolezza

Reviewed By fatty2004

We took the cable car up,(CHF38 return each). Decided to have a simple bit to eat while enjoying the beautiful view and warm sunny day outside the terrace. Many tourist groups. Chinese, Japanese. People came from all over the world. Hiking, Mountain climbing...so the place is very busy. Not much the service I might say when you sit outside. We had a bratwurst each, costCHF12.80 per piece. 1 coka, 1 small bottle of wine . 2 slices of bread. total bill was CHF59....everything cost extra, like bread or sauce. You juge the price yourself. Up to you want to sit and eat at Berghaus or simply walk around without eating or drinking at this place.

Charming dining room, rustic decor, good service, somewhat formal. The menu is Swiss with local choices like capuns, and Italian with various pastas including pizzocheri, a buckwheat pasta that is a staple throughout this part of Switzerland and northern Italy. Good wine list. Prices somewhat expensive.

We chose this restaurant for our last night in the Engadine region. Though we usually look at reviews, we chose it solely because of the beautiful views and proximity to our hotel in Pontresina. It was one of our favorite restaurants of all times! We started with a drink in the terrace outside at sunset. Truly magnificent. Our dinner was also delicious. All of the dishes tasted very fresh and flavorful without relying on heavy sauce. Our waiter was professional, yet personable and pleasant. Definitely recommend!

We stayed in Grand hotel Kronenhof. This is the best restaurant in this hotel for dinner if u are looking for a place for fine dinning . Food is excellent ! The pressed duck was not as good as I had in Paris . But it’s much cheaper here , but I am not gonna complain . I like the second way of the duck better than the first way . The second way: they cook the sauce with orange and it’s taste better . Not as salty as the first one. The duck is well prepared and crispy outside and tender inside. Please make sure u make reservation before . It’s full house The restaurant is too busy so , it’s slower than normal fine dinning in New York or other big cities . We end up spend almost 2 hrs for that meal after we rushed them many times ( my daughter was very sleepy ) . I understand the ordering press duck takes time . But I think desert can be faster . This hotel offers a kid club : which kid can has free ice cream but I found that most of the restaurant staffs don’t know . They charged ice cream in the bill even my daughter showed them the kid club bangle before ordering. So , check your bill if u going to order ice cream for your kid .We are happy for the meal and would come back again in the future.

We visited the restaurant with 5 adults and 2 kids - the table was reserved for 7 pm.We ordered different local dishes and received very good quality of food - unfortunately we received a very bad customer service attitude by the “Chef de Service” . Short after finishing our food while we were still drinking our drinks we were asked to order more otherwise we should leave the table very soon. All of us were surprised about the attitude as we would not expect this by SWISS Hospitality standards.We would recommend the restaurant for the quality of food but would not recommend the approach and attitude for customer service and customer loyalty.Thank you very much for your review!We are very glad to read that you have had a wonderful stay at the Pitschna Scena. A highly motivated team of 7 employees are giving every day their best performance to satisfy the needs of our guests. We are sorry to hear that you were not happy with our Chef de Service, but please understand that if you do not want to order anything we understand this as an invitation to bring you the check. This is how it works in Switzerland.Wie hope to welcome you soon again and remain with sunny greetings.The Pitschna Team with Thierry Geiger.
