Curated by Tamara Kalinić, this guide is an insider’s edit of where to pause, dine and indulge in St. Moritz — a destination where gastronomy is as essential as the slopes themselves.
St. Moritz has long been Tamara’s winter escape of choice. Whether visiting for work, a quiet weekend, or a seamless blend of both, one ritual remains unchanged: returning to the restaurants that define her time in the Alps. Alongside world-class skiing, breathtaking landscapes and refined shopping, the culinary scene here is an integral part of the experience.
From sun-drenched mountain terraces to elegant dining rooms and sweet afternoon rituals, these are the places Tamara genuinely loves — and consistently recommends.
Where to Eat, Dine & Take a Break
1. Langosteria
Italian dining, executed with precision. Langosteria is a study in consistency — refined, reliable and effortlessly elegant. Tamara’s favourites include pacheri with branzino and gnocchi with red shrimp, rich and comforting after long hours on the mountain.
Set on Corviglia, the terrace alone makes it a destination, ideal for leisurely lunches or an aperitivo with sweeping alpine views.
2. Chesa Veglia
A true St. Moritz classic. Known for exceptional meat — rib eye, tagliata — alongside surprisingly excellent pizza. Tamara’s personal staple is the mixed salad with truffle oil: simple, familiar and always satisfying.
Housed within a historic building, Chesa Veglia offers multiple dining rooms, from traditional Swiss stuben to casual spaces, ensuring it never feels repetitive.
3. Paradiso Mountain Club
Relaxed, lively and unfailingly good. Whether it’s a burger and fries or a warming fondue, Paradiso delivers comfort without compromise.
Its vibrant terrace, Champagne selection and energetic atmosphere make it one of the most dynamic mountain spots in St. Moritz.
4. Beefbar
A familiar favourite. The menu mirrors Beefbar’s global locations — and for good reason. From Wagyu to refined French cuts, every detail is executed to perfection.
Beyond classic steaks, the menu’s elevated street-food influences bring a modern, cosmopolitan edge.
5. Suvretta Stube
Swiss tradition at its finest. Comforting dishes, excellent meat and fish, and an intimate alpine ambiance that feels especially right in the evening.
The setting balances elegance with warmth — ideal for winter nights after a full day outdoors.
6. La Coupole – Matsuhisa (Nobu)
For evenings that call for polish over cosiness, La Coupole delivers. As the St. Moritz expression of Nobu, it offers consistency, elegance and a sense of occasion.
This is dinner as an event — refined, indulgent and unmistakably special.
Tea & Sweet Stops
7. Badrutt’s Palace Hotel – Tea Time
Tea is served in the Grand Hall — a ritual Tamara deeply enjoys. Her order is always rooibos tea with a cinnamon stick: simple, warming and restorative.
Often accompanied by live piano music, it feels less like a pause and more like a timeless St. Moritz tradition.
8. Hanselmann
An inevitable stop while walking through town. Known for exquisite chocolates and pralines, Hanselmann is impossible to leave without a small indulgence.
Founded in the late 19th century, it remains one of St. Moritz’s most beloved institutions — especially for its pralines and Engadine nut cake.
“Over the years, these places have become part of our St. Moritz routine — not about chasing what’s new, but returning to what feels good: reliable food, familiar tables, and moments that quietly shape our time in the mountains.” — Tamara Kalinić
