This restaurant is located on the mountain on the corviglia side. The food, the atmosphere and the views are great but it is sooo expensive. A sausage as example costs 24 and a soup costs 19 Swiss Francs. That’s just ridiculous… In my view the service must really be great if the prices are that high. Unfortunately the service was... More

Area Name Mountains Fresh Air Exelent views to mountains and crystal sky makes this restaurant worth to visit during sport day to refresh from skiing. Like most ski-monutains restaurants there its not very good service. Atmosphere depends on people (guests) which are inside at moment. Sometimes its too noisy or too silent. But at any case its interesting. And the... More

El PARADISO has become such a snobby place that normal people refuse to go. Sure, it targets the same crowd of idiots that also are attracted by the glam of St.Mo. But go and see for your self how bad food, terrible service and no atmosphere can cost you an absolute fortune. Good luck!

Today, we went for lunch at El Paradiso. What a disappointment. The waiter was uninspired and the whole service not very coordinated. I had the Tom kha gai soup for 26 chf, which was very watery and oily. We complained, but they didn't realy care. The Restaurant was only half full. We were not surprised. There are much better ones... More

Enjoyed a wonderful ski down with friends to this quirky restaurant with outstanding panoramic views! First we treated ourselves to a Glu-vine from the outside bar and snuggled up in a sun-booth with blankets to wait for the others arriving on foot. The decor is trendy and contemporary and the restaurant boasts a good choice of food and drinks. Yes... More

Ski a long way down some fearsome downhill runs and you are rewarded with a restaurant with the most spectacular view. Cuddle up in wool & cashmere blankets, sit at wooden tables on sheepskin covered benches, eat wonderful food (made even better by the view). Drink good wines from all over the world - it was so cold the red... More

I went to this restaurant with some friends. The scenic view is amazing as you go up to the mountains. You have to go up there when its sunny and not cloudy and preferably not too windy, if you want to sit outside and enjoy the view. We had a long lunch with starter, main course and cheese for the...

I thought these people are kidding me: you have 1 hour to finish your (expensive) lunch, as they sell each table 3 times per lunch... Food is actually nice, but very/ too pricey. Location is excellent: great vistas and nice decoration. Obnoxious behaves like he runs the thoughest door in NYC...

In winter with the ski or in summer with a 10 minuts walk from the Signal gondola, you can enjoy a really excellent tast of internationa cousine, from thay soups to deer meat, the best for me are the pork chops, just wonderfull, the vine list is amazing and the service is perfect
