As if the exclusive Alpina Gstaad's hotel credentials were not impressive enough, it also comes up trumps with this wonderful restaurant. It is something special in several respects: first, there is its distinctive decor, which sees rustic charm elegantly blended with modern sophistication; second, the fantastic panoramic terrace and, last but not least, Martin Göschel's seasonal tasting menu. The Mannheim-born chef, who previously earned MICHELIN stars at Hotel Paradies in Ftan and Alte Post in Nagold, successfully weaves modern influences into classic cuisine, using exclusively Swiss ingredients. Comprising three to five courses, the set menu also comes in a vegetarian version.
