Vivanda

The overall service and environment were excellent. The team was attentive, professional, and made us feel welcome throughout the evening. The dining room itself is elegant, comfortable with a warm alpine touch, setting the right tone for a high-end gastronomic experience. The food was very good, beautifully presented, and showed a good level of creativity. Each dish was thoughtfully composed and visually refined. A particular highlight was the cheese course, which was outstanding: a personalized selection chosen directly from the restaurant’s cheese cellar, guided by knowledgeable staff. That said, the experience lasted around 4.5 hours, which felt on the lengthier side for such tasting menu. This would have been perfectly acceptable for an 8-course tasting menu if the wine pairing had lived up to expectations. Unfortunately, it was one of the weakest wine pairings we have experienced at a tasting restaurant and significantly impacted the overall enjoyment. The full 8-course wine pairing only covered 7 courses and consisted of six wine glasses—more accurately, half-glasses of no more than ~5 cl each—including three whites, one red, one rosé, and one dessert wine. In addition, one course was paired with a 0.0% tea infused “wine,” which tasted more like juice and was entirely unexpected within a wine pairing. Given the wine pairing price point, the selection of wines felt inadequate. In hindsight, I strongly wish we had been advised upfront to opt for one or two bottles instead, which would likely have provided a far better experience. In summary, the cuisine, service, and atmosphere are of a very high standard, but the wine pairing—particularly considering its cost—falls well short and unfortunately undermines an otherwise excellent dining experience (in the 3-4 star rating range).

On the way from St.Moritz to Zernez, there is this hotel restaurant that blends in with nature. In the summer 2013, we enjoyed lunch at this restaurant. We were able to spend a comfortable and unforgettable time with excellent cuisines and enough woods that dining room has. If we go there again in the future, I would like to stay there.

We enjoyed a dinner at Vivanda during our weekend stay at the In Lain. The restaurant features 10 tables total, and provides a fairly private feel, with the cozy ambiance dominated by wood and warm tones. While we visited in the summer, I can imagine that the scenic backdrop of snowy mountains together with the fireplace provide for an even more special experience in the winter. The 8-course menu is one of the most visually stunning creations I’ve had at a Michelin-starred restaurant. The attention to detail was immaculate, with vibrant colours and intricate composition. Taste wise, quality and character of the ingredients were the driving theme, standing out in every dish. I particularly enjoyed the fabulous scallop sashimi, as well as the colourful radish soup. The mango-based dessert with balsamic pearls featured a smoky note that I found overpowering and too reminiscent of the trout dish served a couple of courses before; this was probably my least favourite part of the menu, though the subsequent take on cheese cake with rhubarb made amends. Excellent menu overall! Service was very friendly and accommodating.

Великолепно! Кофе был с веганским молоком из миндаля. Виды завораживают!

Sehr gepflegt. Ausgesprochen freundliche Bedienung. Viel zu teuer.

Tolles Lokal!!!
