The Top 100 Restaurants Near Kosmo Taste the Mountain
-
Rank 1. Kosmo Taste the Mountain
Alpine Italian
-
Rank 2. Téa del Kosmo
Alpine Italian
Four tables around a central fireplace, walls clad in reclaimed timber: this intimate gourmet tasting-menu room is tucked behind the livelier Kosmo Taste the Mountain, reachable by lift from the car park below. The chef, Apulian by birth but clearly seduced by the Alps, builds creative menus around mountain ingredients and a kitchen garden, and his vegetable dishes, a celeriac study or a plate called "100% carrot," have a way of outlasting everything else in memory.

-
The only Veuve Clicquot champagne cellar in Switzerland sits beneath this Michelin-starred creative dining room in the Engadin valley, which feels like a flex the Alps earned. The hotel's family runs their own joinery, so the warm wood everywhere is genuinely theirs to claim. An eight-course surprise menu leans on local Alpine produce, and a cheese trolley and 700-label wine list fill whatever gaps the courses leave.
-
Rank 7. Chesa Stüva Colani
Modern Italian
The chef forages his own herbs, ferments his own ingredients, and has named his tasting menus in Italian, which tells you most of what you need to know about the vibe at this one-Michelin-star fine dining room in a handsome Engadine chalet. The cooking is rooted in the alpine region but resolutely modern in technique. Warm local wood and clean lines keep the room from feeling fussy, which is a minor miracle given how elaborate the plates get.
-
Rank 8. LA CHAVALLERA in der Krone Säumerei am Inn
Alpine New American
The cutlery here was forged by a local blacksmith, which sets the tone for a Michelin-starred tasting menu restaurant that takes its Alpine roots seriously without taking itself too seriously. The compact dining room is lined entirely in Swiss stone pine, and the chef, who came up through Hong Kong's fine dining scene, turns out precise, pared-back plates that nod to the surrounding Engadin valley. Guestrooms upstairs mean you don't have to rush.
-
Rank 9. Da Vittorio - St. Moritz
Italian
The paccheri alla Vittorio arrives looking almost too composed, and then it disappears quickly. This two-Michelin-starred Italian fine dining room sits inside the Carlton Hotel with views across the lake, open through the winter season only. The chef comes down from the Lombardy flagship each year, bringing the signature dishes with him. Aperitifs first in the lounge, then precise, produce-led cooking with a wine list long enough to require commitment.
-
Rank 10. Ecco St. Moritz
Modern French
Inside the Giardino Mountain hotel, this two-Michelin-star fine dining room is where the Engadine winter gets its proper send-off. The chef's French-rooted cooking has a seriousness of purpose that the alpine setting only amplifies. A pâté en croûte filled with venison, pork, and goose, served alongside red wine mustard ice cream, tells you the tone immediately. The front-of-house team runs the room with the kind of warmth that doesn't feel rehearsed.
-
Rank 11. Talvo
Mediterranean
A 17th-century Engadine farmhouse that somehow makes a convincing case for Mediterranean cooking in the Swiss Alps. Talvo holds a Michelin star and operates at the fine-dining register, candlelit and unhurried, with a mezzanine and a tucked-away "Balkönli" balcony where two small tables sit apart from the room. The kitchen leans on pristine ingredients and clean flavors, the kind of cooking that doesn't need explaining when the plate arrives.
-
Rank 12. Colani Bistrot
Regional Mediterranean
Pale wood paneling and a terrace facing the Alpine village set the mood at this laid-back bistro inside Hotel Colani. The kitchen leans Mediterranean with a local Graubünden accent, running daily ravioli and a rotating cut of venison or veal that gives regulars a reason to come back mid-week. Desserts get their own moment too. The Michelin Guide awarded it a Bib Gourmand, and the service feels like the hotel actually meant it.
-
Rank 13. La Trattoria
Italian
-
The dining room is a former cowshed, which sets the theme before you've even sat down. This cozy fondue and raclette spot inside a hotel in Brail leans hard into its heritage: cheese fondues, raclette, capuns, and fondue chinoise fill out a menu that has never once pretended cows aren't the point. Cheesemaking demonstrations run some evenings, and there's a shop if you'd like to carry the enthusiasm home in wax-sealed form.
-
Rank 15. La Scarpetta
Contemporary Italian
Bare wooden tables, rustic floorboards, and an assortment of wall clocks that probably tell different times set the tone at this cozy Italian trattoria in the heart of St. Moritz, where the crowd skews more pasta-and-carafe than fur-coat-and-tasting-menu. The team runs the room like a dinner party they're hosting, and the down-to-earth cooking, fresh and unfussy, fits that energy exactly. The wine list punches well above the price point. A Michelin Bib Gourmand.
-
Rank 16. Apollo
Modern Mediterranean
Dark walls hung with original NASA mission photos set the mood at this Michelin-starred modern Mediterranean restaurant inside Hotel Grischa. The open kitchen puts the cooking on full display, where the team works through set menus of four to six courses that mix bold Mediterranean flavors with quiet Asian touches. Davos as a fine-dining destination sounds implausible until you're actually sitting in it.
-
Rank 17. Kronenstübli
French
Swiss stone pine panelling lines the walls of this elegant hotel dining room in Pontresina, giving the place the warmth of a mountain lodge with the table manners of something considerably grander. The kitchen works a quiet line between classic French and Italian, with set menus or à la carte, and the pressed duck, carved tableside for two, is the kind of dish that makes ordering anything else feel like a missed opportunity.
-
-
Rank 19. Ya Mama by Moses Ceylan
Lebanese
Inside the Cresta Palace Hotel, this is where the chef's Levantine heritage meets Engadin produce: think baharat-spiced lamb or deep-fried local trout with sumac nage, sitting alongside mezze and a tabbouleh that comes with a grandmother's name attached. The room is chic but relaxed, the kind that forgives you for ordering one of everything, which the sharing menu quietly encourages anyway. The wine list travels as far as the cooking does.
-
Rank 20. Grand Restaurant
Seasonal French
Stucco ceilings and valley views through tall windows set the tone at this formal fine dining room inside the Carlton hotel. The kitchen leans on regional ingredients and something the menu describes as nutritional principles, which sounds more austere than it tastes. A plant-based tasting menu sits alongside classic French preparations and a few showpiece dishes for two. Aperitifs by the fireplace next door, with a pianist, is the sensible move if you arrive early.
-
Rank 21. KCC by Mauro Colagreco
Mediterranean
Vintage sledges hang from the ceiling, which tells you this is Saint Moritz dining done with a wink. KCC by Mauro Colagreco is a relaxed restaurant beside the ice rink, where Mediterranean instincts meet local Alpine produce over open flames and embers. Sharing cuts like lamb shoulder are on the menu, pasta sits alongside the mains, and live music or vinyl sessions fill the room. The terrace is a strong argument for summer visits.
-
Rank 22. Amaru by Claudia Canessa
Peruvian
Peruvian cooking inside a grand St. Moritz hotel, where a vaulted ceiling adds just enough theater to a room that somehow stays cheerful. The chef, Claudia Canessa, runs a kitchen that takes ceviche and corn-based dishes seriously, folding sharp, bright flavors into a setting where you might have expected fondue. The front-of-house team is the kind that remembers things without being asked, which in the Alps counts for quite a lot.
-
Rank 23. Le Restaurant / Le Relais
Classic French
Some dishes still arrive raw and leave flaming, which tells you something about where Le Restaurant and Le Relais sit on the formality dial. Both are the classic fine-dining rooms of Badrutt's Palace in St. Moritz, all white-glove service and carefully sourced ingredients. Breakfast comes with lake and mountain views, which is either restorative or unbearable depending on how your evening went.
-
Rank 24. La Coupole - Matsuhisa
Japanese
-
Rank 25. Langosteria
Contemporary Italian
-
-
-
Rank 28. Hide & Seek
Swiss Mediterranean
-
Rank 29. Restaurant Chastè
French
-
A Bib Gourmand dining room inside a small village hotel in the Lower Engadine, where the kitchen leans hard into regional cooking without any of the alpine-rustic theater. Local produce does the heavy lifting, the wine list is priced like someone thought about it, and lunch runs shorter than dinner. The building also happens to house a Giacometti collection, which is either a bonus or the actual reason you're in Sent.
-
Rank 31. Golden Dragon
Sichuan
-
A medieval tower inside one of Europe's smallest walled towns makes for a striking dining room, and the chef leans into the contrast: vaulted stone overhead, modern plates below. This contemporary restaurant in Val Venosta runs on regional and estate-grown ingredients, including Wagyu raised on the property. The outdoor terrace books out fast in summer, so plan ahead.
-
Rank 33. Altavilla
Valtellina Italian
-
Rank 34. Malenco
Alpine Italian
-
Rank 35. La Brezza
Modern New American
Perched 1,800 meters up in the Alps inside the Tschuggen Grand Hotel, La Brezza holds two Michelin stars and takes fine dining seriously enough to offer a fully vegan tasting menu alongside its main one. The cooking is elaborate without being showy, and the sauces in particular do a lot of quiet, impressive work. Dress for a long, unhurried evening with a wine list that will not make the decision easy.
-
Rank 36. Gasthaus Höhwald
Alpine Austrian
A mountain dining room above Klosters where the terrace view does half the work before the food arrives. This is a warmly run Alpine restaurant, husband and wife front and back, with a menu that moves through the seasons and drifts toward Austria when the mood strikes, particularly on Mondays when a classic boiled beef lands on the table. Hot meals run all day, which the slopes crowd tends to appreciate.
-
Rank 37. Fracia
Valtelline Italian
-
Rank 38. Kro
Alpine Austrian
-
Rank 39. Il Poggio
Contemporary Italian
-
Twelve seats, a 400-year-old Alpine wood-paneled room, and a menu you receive as a set of caricatures you have to decode before dinner even starts. This one-Michelin-star tasting room inside a Nauders hotel pairs that old-Tyrolean coziness, coffered ceiling and tiled stove included, with cooking that's modern and regionally rooted. The chef explains each course in the unhurried way of someone who genuinely enjoys the conversation. The spruce-needle apple juice in the non-alcoholic pairing is quietly remarkable.
-
Rank 41. Trippi
Lombard Italian
-
A restored timber farmhouse sitting high in the Graubünden Alps, Berghuus Radons is a mountain restaurant with guestrooms, reachable only by permit on narrow roads, which is either a romantic detail or a logistical headache depending on your mood. Inside, dark old wood meets quietly modern touches. The seasonal menu leans regional, with provenance printed on the menu and half the evening options vegetarian, built into a three-course format with a short à la carte alongside.
-
The chef and the sous-chef come out to explain each course personally, which tells you what kind of fine dining room this is. Set inside a hotel in the Swiss Alps, it runs a surprise tasting menu of three to five courses built around regional produce, kept precise and modern. Tables are few, service is warm, and the sommelier treats the wine list like a second obsession. A quiet room that takes its food seriously without the stiffness.
-
The name says it all: terroir is the whole point here, a cozy Alpine restaurant in Lenzerheide where the kitchen grows or sources nearly everything from the surrounding Graubünden valleys. The menu is mix-and-match, so you build your own path through whatever the season offers, local char, Grisons lamb, wines pulled from nearby. Staff will walk you through the sourcing story unprompted, which feels genuine rather than rehearsed. Book ahead.
-
The dining room of this fine dining restaurant in Lenzerheide occupies a centuries-old cow byre, its ancient timber bones now sharing space with sleek contemporary design and a soaring ceiling. The kitchen leans hard on Swiss sourcing, running two set menus alongside à la carte. Before dinner, the bar downstairs earns its own visit, and the panoramic terrace makes a strong case for arriving while the light is still good.
-
Rank 46. Stüva
Modern French
The wood paneling at this fine dining room inside Hotel Yscla keeps things grounded while everything else quietly signals serious ambition. Benjamin Parth holds two Michelin stars and works in spare, precise plates where a few components carry most of the weight. A set menu runs four to seven courses, and the sommelier on the floor knows her cellar well enough that you should probably just ask.
-
The Sieberer family has been running this Michelin-starred fine dining room inside Ischgl's Trofana Royal for long enough that father and two sons now share the kitchen. The cooking is contemporary alpine, rooted in classical technique, and the menus run anywhere from four to ten courses depending on how the evening shapes up. Dark wood, candlelight, and the kind of service that anticipates the question before you ask it.
-
Rank 48. Schlossherrnstube
Contemporary French
Five tables inside a warm-wood dining room tucked inside a luxury Alpine hotel: Schlossherrnstube is about as intimate as fine dining gets. The kitchen runs a single set menu of French-influenced cooking, and a Michelin star hangs above it all. The sommelier doubles as maître d' and steers the evening with the kind of calm authority that makes a long tasting menu feel like a gift rather than an endurance sport.
-
A fireplace in winter, a garden terrace in summer, and a Michelin-starred kitchen threading lake fish and Lombardy tradition through a quietly modern lens year-round. The Tonola family has been feeding this corner of the province for generations, and the current setup pairs a young chef's deft hand with parents who run the room and the wine list with the ease of people who've never needed to think too hard about either.
-
A medieval castle in a tiny Graubünden village is a bold choice for one of Europe's more serious fine dining rooms, but here we are. Andreas Caminada's kitchen leans on what the surrounding region grows and raises rather than the usual luxury imports, which gives the tasting menu a rooted, specific character. Three Michelin stars and a spot on the World's 50 Best list. Guestrooms are available if you'd rather not drive home afterward.
-
Rank 51. Antica Osteria
Regional Italian
A family-run osteria tucked into a pretty Alpine village where two valleys meet and the Presanella mountains loom above. Three small dining rooms carry a genuine mountain feel, and a veranda with floor-to-ceiling windows lets the landscape do its thing. The kitchen leans into the region, turning local char and venison into something more considered than the surroundings might suggest, without ever losing the thread back to traditional recipes.
-
Rank 52. OZ
Vegetarian
Housed inside the grounds of Schloss Schauenstein, OZ takes its name from the Romansh word for "today" and runs a nine-course vegetarian tasting menu built around an estate permaculture garden. Guests sit at a U-shaped counter close enough to chat with the chefs, which gives the room a warmth that formal tasting menus don't always manage. It holds a Michelin star.
-
Rank 53. Heimatbühne
Tyrolean Austrian
Warm wood paneling, a handful of tables, and a direct view of the ski slope set the scene at this cosy Austrian restaurant inside Hotel Trofana Royal. The à la carte menu leans into the Tyrol hard, with highland beef, local trout, and Alpine cheese doing most of the heavy lifting. It skips the formality of the hotel's fine dining room in favor of something you'd happily collapse into after a long day on the mountain.
-
Twelve seats, one long stone table, and a wine cellar stocked with over 900 labels waiting behind a door that functions as the evening's opening act. This intimate chef's table inside the Hotel Fliana serves a six-course set menu while a certified sommelier works the room like it's his living room. The chef also holds a cheese sommelier qualification, which means the trolley gets its own lecture, in the best possible sense.
-
A family-run restaurant in the South Tyrolean countryside where the kitchen garden supplies the dining room and the whole Trafoier family has a job. The chef turns local produce into unfussy, technically precise cooking with a Michelin star to its name, while his sister handles the desserts and his mother runs a wine list that includes magnums and double magnums for the committed. Bistro service only at lunch.
-
Tucked into castle grounds in tiny Fürstenau, this restaurant from Andreas Caminada keeps things rooted in Graubünden, where the regional produce tends to upstage everything around it. The room has high ceilings, warm wood, and a terrace that makes you forget you had other plans. Country cooking is the register, seasonal and local, with Graubünden classics alongside whatever the kitchen's suppliers turned up that week. The in-house bakery next door is worth a detour on the way out.
-
A Michelin-starred Alpine restaurant in the ski village of Madesimo, Il Cantinone stays rooted in the mountains while quietly letting the wider world in. The kitchen works with buckwheat, venison, trout, and truffles, then folds in ideas picked up on travels abroad, a combination that earns the place its star without feeling like it's trying to. Family-run, warm, and never stuffy.
-
Rank 58. Il Gallo Cedrone
Alpine Italian
A one-Michelin-star dining room inside Hotel Bertelli, with wood and warm light doing the heavy lifting on alpine atmosphere. The kitchen runs two tasting menus, one rooted in the Trentino mountains and one that drifts toward the coast, with à la carte if you'd rather graze. The wine cellar clears 800 labels, curated with the kind of care that suggests the sommelier has strong opinions and enjoys sharing them.
-
Rank 59. Maso Burba
Alpine Italian
-
Rank 60. Dolomieu
Modern Italian
-
Rank 61. Grual
Contemporary Italian
The Grual mountain that rises behind the hotel gives this Michelin-starred fine dining room its name and its organizing logic. Chef Matteo Maezza structures his tasting menus around the altitude where each ingredient was sourced, valley floor to high peak, so the meal traces a kind of vertical map of the surrounding Dolomites. Candlelight, a serious wine list, and guests in their resort best complete the picture.
-
A centuries-old wood-paneled stube inside the Biohotel Hermitage, set far enough from the lifts that you feel like you've been let in on something. This Michelin-starred fine dining room runs three tasting menus, one of which follows the chef's Ischian roots straight to the Dolomites, landing seafood in the middle of mountain country. The room seats very few people, which means the evening moves at whatever pace it wants.
-
Rank 63. Mekong
Vietnamese
A family-run Southeast Asian restaurant tucked above a shopping street in Chur's old town, where the Phommarath family supply their own kitchen via their Asian grocery shop around the corner, which explains why the wonton and spring rolls taste like someone actually cared about the ingredients. Curries, wok dishes, and a tight lunch set round out the menu. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that runs quietly and efficiently without making a fuss about itself.
-
A three-Michelin-star tasting restaurant in the Swiss spa town of Bad Ragaz, where the cooking looks almost restrained until it isn't. Sven Wassmer builds dishes around Swiss ingredients with a depth that keeps catching you off guard, the kind of elegance that hides its own workings. The set menu runs six to ten courses, with optional additions, and wine or alcohol-free pairings to match.
-
The terrace hangs high above St. Anton, which sets the tone before anyone's opened a menu. This two-Michelin-star fine dining room inside a boutique Alpine hotel pairs mountain luxury with cooking that takes classic technique somewhere more unexpected, the kind of contrasts where braised apricot and saffron hollandaise end up on the same plate as veal sweetbreads and it all makes sense. Around 600 labels on the wine list, and a set menu that sounds like a gap year but eats like a tasting menu.
-
The name comes from the old stone feeding trough still sitting in the dining room, which tells you something about where this Michelin-starred restaurant's loyalties lie. Tucked inside a working farm stay in the Valtellina valley, the kitchen draws almost everything from the property's own garden and creamery. Two tasting menus let you pick your adventure: the shorter, rootsy route or the slightly wilder creative one. Alpine products, zero shortcuts.
-
Rank 67. Ullrs Gourmetstube
Alpine New American
Four large tables in a room of pale wood and green tiles set the stage for a Michelin-starred tasting menu that mashes up Alpine, Japanese, and Nordic ideas with a straight face. The kitchen inside St. Anton's Ullrhaus hotel works at a precise, confident clip, balancing shellfish with citrus acidity or pigeon with plum umeboshi in ways that feel considered rather than clever. The wine list leans Austria, Italy, and France, and the service knows exactly when to talk.
-
Rank 68. Contrada Bricconi
Modern Italian
A small stone hamlet above the Val Seriana, reached by a road that takes its time getting there, is where a group of young farmers and cooks have built something close to a closed loop: they grow it, raise it, ferment it, and eventually serve it as a Michelin-starred tasting menu. The cooking is rooted in Alpine tradition but keeps surprising you. The bread course with house-churned butter alone earns the drive up.
-
An old South Tyrolean farmhouse that has been feeding people for longer than anyone currently alive can verify, Oberraindlhof is the kind of regional restaurant where five generations of the same family have decided that local recipes and nearby ingredients are the whole point. The ravioli stuffed with valley cheese are the kind of dish that quietly makes the case for staying put. The wine list is serious, the atmosphere is not.
-
A Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant tucked inside a family-run Alpine hotel in St. Anton's quieter St. Jakob quarter. The room is small and warmly decorated, the kind of place where the wood feels like it means something. The chef leans hard on Tyrolean ingredients and builds menus around contrast and regional produce. The wine list is unusually unpretentious for a room at this level, which the regulars have clearly noticed.
-
Rank 71. Bruderherz Fine Dine
Alpine Austrian
Modern Alpine decor sets the room at this fine dining restaurant inside Das Marent hotel in the Tyrolean ski village of Fiss, where a Michelin star hangs over a menu that blends regional Austrian produce with unexpected international turns. The kitchen leans into the contrast confidently, pairing local trout with saffron vinegar or lamb with chorizo and jalapeño. The wine list tilts Austrian and Spanish, which feels right once you're in it.
-
Andreas Caminada's two-Michelin-star sharing restaurant inside Grand Resort Bad Ragaz takes its name from the Romansh word for "nest," which tells you something about the intention. Set in a vaulted historic room, it runs a single elaborate creative menu where each course arrives as a cluster of small dishes meant to be passed around. A serious sommelier steers the wine list, heavy on regional bottles available by the glass. Note it's closed for renovation until late 2026.
-
Rank 73. Rote Wand Stuben
Austrian
Dinner here begins with aperitifs downstairs in a small parlour before guests move up to a horseshoe counter of bar chairs, which sounds casual until you notice the two Michelin stars. Chef Julian Stieger's tasting menu is modern and precise without being showy, the kind of cooking where a slice of black pudding bread with apple and truffle shavings makes a quiet, confident case for itself. The service is warm rather than stiff, which helps considerably at that altitude.
-
Aperitifs are served inside the kitchen itself, which tells you something about how this two-Michelin-starred restaurant in the remote Vals valley wants the evening to feel. The cooking is pared-back and precise, with a chef who coaxes contrast from very few elements on the plate. A vegetarian Menu Surprise runs alongside the main tasting menu, and the wine list leans heavily Swiss, Italian, and French, with Bordeaux vintages that reward the curious.
-
The glass-walled wine cellar alone is worth a slow look. This Michelin-starred fine dining room runs on what the team calls health-and-lifestyle cuisine, meaning the menu follows the seasons closely and the chef stays in conversation with local growers about what's ready. Dishes read like a nature walk translated into a plate, and the interior echoes that instinct, with materials and colors pulled from the landscape outside. The terrace opens in summer.
-
Rank 76. Josef Stube
Mediterranean
-
Rank 77. La Fenice
Alpine Mediterranean
A Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant tucked inside Hotel Arlberg, reached through its own entrance so it feels like a destination rather than an afterthought. Warm wood, painted ceilings, and upholstered armchairs set a quietly ornate tone, and the staff have clearly been here long enough to remember your preference for still water. The kitchen runs an Alpine-Mediterranean tasting menu across five to eight courses, with a wine list that runs past a thousand labels.
-
Rank 78. Brasserie Leonis
Austrian French
Warm Alpine wood meets clean brasserie lines inside this elegant hotel dining room in the Montafon valley, where the floral arrangements are bold enough to make a statement without trying too hard. The menu moves comfortably between Wiener schnitzel and quail coq au vin, with steaks coming off a Japanese Yakiniku charcoal grill for good measure. The sommelier runs the floor with quiet confidence, and the wine list leans heavily Austrian.
-
-
Foraged Mugo pine shoots and lichen on the menu signals immediately that this is not a hotel dining room trying to please everyone. Set inside the Lory hotel in Pinzolo, Rendenèr is a casual contemporary restaurant where the kitchen follows the Alpine seasons hard, pulling sow-thistle in spring and herbs from its own organic garden in summer. The wine list leans regional, which, given the surroundings, is exactly the right call.
-
Rank 81. Crotasc
Valtelline Italian
-
Rank 82. La Locandiera
Italian
-
Rank 83. Hermann's Jagdstube
Alpine German
The chef hunts the animals himself, then serves their brains, livers, tongues, and marrow across eight small courses that you'll need to pre-order. This intimate restaurant inside an Alpine chalet hotel seats just four tables behind a floor-to-ceiling glass wall facing the mountains. The modern wood interior skews chic rather than rustic, and the service has that unhurried warmth that makes an eight-course tasting feel like dinner at a friend's place, assuming your friend is a very serious hunter.
-
The panoramic windows and terrace look out over an Alpine village far below, which sets the tone: this is a hotel restaurant that leans into the scenery without getting lazy about the food. The menu wanders from regional Austrian cooking into Mediterranean territory and back, grounded by warm service and staff who actually know the wine list. Dress smart-casual and arrive hungry.
-
-
Rank 86. Da Sapì
Lombardian Italian
-
A Vorarlberg village inn that's been in the same family for three generations, sitting beside the parish church with wood-panelled rooms and a terrace shaded by old trees. The menu leans hard into the region, with seasonal ingredients sourced almost entirely nearby, and a vegetarian set menu alongside the à la carte. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand. Book ahead, because the locals already know.
-
Rank 88. Gufer55
Austrian
A village restaurant in the Vorarlberg mountains that swings from Tafelspitz and Wiener schnitzel to Thai curry without anyone flinching, which tells you something about the mood of the place. The menu is long and genuinely eclectic, built around fresh produce and regional staples. Cosy and modern inside, with a terrace for summer. The Michelin Guide awards it a Bib Gourmand, and the service is the kind that makes a long lunch feel like the obvious choice.
-
The Gothic wine cellar here holds one of the more obsessive large-format bottle collections you'll find anywhere, heavy on Bordeaux and running from magnums up to primat and beyond. By day it's a ski hut with all that implies, but evenings shift toward Alpine fine dining, cosy and candlelit. The Wine Dome has a private table if you want your tasting to feel properly theatrical, which, given the setting, it will.
-
A gondola ride to 2,085 meters is included with your reservation, which already sets the tone for this mountain restaurant perched at the top of the Galzigbahn. The menu moves freely between yellowfin tuna sashimi, Wiener schnitzel, and risotto alla carbonara, which sounds chaotic but somehow holds together. Floor-to-ceiling Alpine views do some of the heavy lifting, and the staff know the wine list well enough to steer you through it.
-
Rank 91. Wirtschaft Traube
Alpine Austrian
The host has been known to pull up a chair and sit with you, which tells you a lot about the mood of this wood-panelled Alpine dining room. The chef hunts, forages, and mills his own corn, then folds the results into a short seasonal menu you can take à la carte or as a set. The cooking is rooted deep in Vorarlberg, with mountain cheese and foraged herbs doing most of the talking.
-
There is no menu and no wine list, which is either liberating or terrifying depending on your relationship with control. This intimate contemporary Scandinavian restaurant in St. Anton runs on a surprise three-course format chosen by the Danish chef, while his partner steers you toward the right bottle. The room feels like a private dinner party at someone's very tasteful home, which is presumably the whole point.
-
The dining room is inside a private hospital's side wing, which sounds like a punchline until the food arrives. This seasonal restaurant in Fläsch earns a Michelin Bib Gourmand with a concise, ingredient-driven menu that rotates around what's regional and what's ready. Lunch is the main event, the terrace tables fill fast, and the open kitchen faces a mountain view that makes the whole setup feel a little surreal in the best way.
-
The shingle facade blends into the Vorarlberg hillside as naturally as the wood and stone inside, where a regional restaurant runs a serious evening tasting menu alongside a lighter lunch set and a more traditional à la carte. The terrace looks straight onto the ski slopes, which keeps the mood grounded no matter how composed the plate gets. A solid reason to linger in a village that most people drive straight through.
-
Rank 95. Casa Alva
Mediterranean
A former parsonage in the Graubünden mountains, now a modern tasting-menu restaurant where the old stone bones of the building show through a polished interior. The chef runs a five-to-eight course "Chef's Choice" menu that pulls from French, Mediterranean, and Alpine traditions without committing too hard to any of them. Guestrooms are available if you'd rather not navigate mountain roads after several courses of wine.
-
An old stone house sitting alone among the Graubünden vineyards, Alter Torkel is a regional restaurant built around wine in a way that goes beyond a list on the wall. The menu rotates its glass pours constantly, so the food and the wine change together by season. The kitchen leans into local and seasonal cooking, the hosts are the genuinely welcoming kind, and in summer the terrace opens onto a long view of the valley.
-
The chef shakes every guest's hand personally, which sets the tone for the room before you've even sat down. This is a cozy, wood-paneled regional restaurant in wine country Maienfeld, where the ceiling beams and rustic chairs look like they grew there. The kitchen leans into hearty Alpine cooking, lamb ragout with creamy bramata polenta, chicken, cordon bleu, and plates sized for sharing when the mood calls for it.
-
Rank 98. Beccaccino
Mediterranean

Rank 99. Namun
Thai
-
A sleek, contemporary dining room in Bad Ragaz where the kitchen leans on whatever the season is handing over, running it through a tasting menu format of three to six courses or à la carte. The front-of-house team is the kind that actually knows the wine list rather than just carrying it around. Guestrooms are available if the meal turns into an evening.
