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.
