July 11, 2020 Deane Carmody

Reviews on Swiss food in Pontresina, Swiss Alps, Switzerland. Encircled by a forest of fragrant pine trees, the mountain village of Pontresina is an idyllic alpine retreat. Hike to the mammoth Morteratsch glacier or take a horse-drawn carriage ride through pristine Roseg Valley. Learn about ancient cheesemaking practices (and sample the delicious results) at the nearby Alpine Dairy of Morteratsch. A guided village tour will expose you to local features you may have otherwise missed, like graffiti murals and holy frescoes.

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.

Hotel Bernina

Reviewed By BronxSteve

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!

The pre-dinner drink in the hotel bar with view of the fire was a relaxing start to the dinner. The restaurant was busy but the service was still good. We had filet steak which were absolutely delicious with the flavour of the grill coming through. The menu is limited so if you don't want steak (or pasta or risotto) then this might not be good choice! A small minor point is that the sides dishes are extra (which was a bit unnecessarily as the steak was already a good price) and grilled vegetables wasn't very generous. The open wine was very good and there is also a very extensive wine list.

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.

Without any booking in the late ski season the place is almost full but I’ve got a seat in 5 mns, ordered quickly and served very fast! Very good beef, and taste their wine - pretty good.Nice wood and stones decoration- high standard finishes, like all Swiss knows how to do !Definitely do not hesitate if it’s opened!

Restaurant Gondolezza is a great restaurant for traditional swiss food. Corinne was knowledgeable and patient when it came to showing us how to use the raclette machine. Both the fondue and raclette were absolutely delicious and the view outside the gondola is spectacular. Very memorable experience! Reservations are absolutely necessary.
