La Cave

This cozy Italian restaurant in the basement of the historic Olden Hotel in the heart of downtown Gstaad is known for its special spaghetti sciué scuié—a simple but fabulous sauce of garlic, basil, tomato and spicy red pepper—and its celebrity clientele. The glasses behind the bar hand-painted with names such as Frank “Blue Eyes” Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor, and Valentino are testament to La Cave’s famous regulars. Richard Burton used to throw large parties in the restaurant, which was once a bowling alley. Now owned by Bernie Ecclestone of Formula One fame and fortune, Le Cave is still often reserved for fabulous private events.
