Winter in the Engadine region promises a host of exciting culinary experiences at the fine dining restaurant of hotel Giardino Mountain here in St Moritz. Reto Brändli captivates diners with cuisine strongly rooted in French tradition, combining depth of flavour with finesse. Exceptional ingredients are at the heart of each dish. A prime example of his outstanding craftsmanship is the pâté en croûte, with its distinctive filling of venison, pork and goose encased in a perfectly baked crust and served with a quenelle of red wine mustard ice cream, pickled gherkin and a delicately jellied lingonberry jus. There are two set menus: the "Fine Menu" and "Reto's Classics", and the individual courses may also be ordered à la carte. Thanks to the exceedingly dedicated, charming and unflappable front-of-house team, the attentive service matches these high standards.
