MEGU
The first European outpost of MEGU (which has locations in New York, Moscow, Doha, Mumbai, and New Delhi) serves modern Japanese cuisine that is as beautifully presented as it is prepared. The menu features Kobe beef and an inventive selection sushi and sashimi combinations. The crispy asparagus and MEGU oriental salad make excellent vegetarian options.
The design elegantly infuses Japanese decorative elements into the Swiss style of the Alpina Gstaad hotel. A gorgeous carpet suggests a Zen rock garden, slatted wood room-divider features a carving of Mt. Fuji, and red lacquered chairs—which are modeled on the Torii Gates—subtly conjure the Japanese landscape and aesthetic. In a nod to the Alpine mountain setting, custom-made chandeliers look like blue tinged icicles hanging from the ceiling.
Sommet
Open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the main dining room at the Alpina Gstaad offers cuisine from all regions of Switzerland in a chic upscale setting. The décor is elegant, but understated—trophy “animal heads” made out of various cutlery by British artist Ann Carrington are the main wall decoration—allowing the view of the Bernese Oberland mountains to take center stage. On a recent visit, the chef’s evening tasting menu centered on an incredible veal trio (each medallion prepared differently) served with Jerusalem artichoke, chestnuts, and Brussels sprouts. The vast wine selection features an astounding 400 labels.
