Chesa Veglia Pizzeria Heuboden

Extremely busy place. Even though we had a reservation, we had to wait for the table. Nice building and good pizza. They want to sell it as luxury and exclusive but in reality, it’s just a good pizza overpriced place.

Another amazing meal in St. Moritz. A very crowded “see and be scene” kind of place, but an incredible building (100’s of years old) with GREAT food (I had the lamb). Waitstaff was top shelf.

The building was very charming, the staff attentive, and the food delicious. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The building itself is very old and we liked the atmosphere. We started with a drink at the small and cosy bar, where the barkeeper was very friendly and attentive. However, the rest of the experience was not so great. The waiters are slow and not friendly. We passed four of them on the way out and nobody even said goodbye even after I said goodbye. The pizza is ok but nothing to remember. I might come back to the bar though 😃

Warning: This place is not bookable to Non-Hotel Guests or Clubmembers. I couldn’t even experience the restaurant because, apparently, it’s nearly impossible for non-hotel guests at Badrutt’s Palace to secure a reservation. Although an online booking portal is available, there are absolutely zero slots open—none at all. I tried calling the restaurant, only to be rudely dismissed with the explanation that the restaurant exclusively serves hotel guests and "club members." The call was abruptly ended. Seriously, guys—why not just state this upfront on your website? I made one last attempt at the hotel reception to inquire about the issues with the online booking system. Instead of listening, they insisted on connecting me back to the restaurant. Shortly after, I was cut off again. What can I say? A restaurant that isn’t accessible to the public or non-hotel guests should clearly communicate this. 2 stars because it might still be a good restaurant. Maybe. Who knows?

Well, first of all I tried to book a table in 1 week advance, but their service doesn’t work. I tried to call them but they didn’t answer few times. When I was in st Moritz and tried to go without a reservation at 6.30 pm they refused because they “were fully booked”. And I was alone I wanted to quickly eat pizza (max 30 min), but it wasn’t an argument for them..And when I asked why you service for booking a table doesn’t work? They just said yes it doesn’t work..and? So I just quit and I had a very great time at Kulm pizzeria!

Review of Chesa Veglia, St. Moritz – A Feast for the Senses Sight – From the moment you step into Chesa Veglia, you’re transported. Housed in a beautifully preserved Swiss chalet, the restaurant exudes old-world charm, with warm wood paneling, soft candlelight, and an intimate atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. Looking down into the open kitchen, we watched the chefs masterfully work over hot coals, the flames licking at the edges of pizzas as they slid in and out of the stone oven—a mesmerizing show of craftsmanship. Sound – There’s a certain hum to the dining room, a blend of lively conversation and the occasional pop of a champagne cork. The atmosphere is vibrant but never overwhelming. You catch the rhythmic chopping from the kitchen, the soft crackle of the wood fire, and the sizzle of premium cuts of beef hitting the grill—a symphony of sounds that heightens the anticipation for what’s to come. Smell – The scent of burning wood lingers in the air, mingling with the rich aroma of sizzling steak and bubbling cheese. The fragrance of just-baked pizza, its crust kissed by flames, wafts over from the kitchen. And then there’s the unmistakable, buttery scent of perfectly seared Chateaubriand—pure indulgence. Taste – Every bite at Chesa Veglia was an experience in itself. The steak tartare? Find me a better iteration anywhere—because I haven’t had one. Perfectly seasoned, silky yet robust, it was an absolute standout. The burrata salad was a masterclass in simplicity: deep red, sun-ripened tomatoes bursting with flavor, paired with creamy, impossibly fresh burrata. The pizza arrived stacked high with pepperoni, each bite delivering a bold, satisfying kick of spice. And then, the pièce de résistance: the Chateaubriand, cooked to ‘Rare +’ as requested—flawless. A crisp, beautifully caramelized crust gave way to the most tender, melt-in-your-mouth interior. Touch – Every element of the dining experience felt intentional, from the smooth, cool glass of a pre-dinner cocktail in the tiny, stone-walled bar (a must-visit if you have time) to the perfectly weighted cutlery that effortlessly sliced through our steak. The dough of the pizza was light yet crisp to the touch, while the Chateaubriand yielded just enough resistance before revealing its tender, buttery texture. Chesa Veglia, part of the legendary Badrutt’s Palace, is everything you’d expect from an institution of this caliber—perfection in every detail, housed within a stunning, historic setting. This isn’t just dining; it’s an experience, and an absolutely epic one at that.
