Michelin-starred 3

Chesa Stüva Colani

★ Michelin€€€€Innovative, Italian

Modern in terms of technique, intricate, and anything but run-of-the-mill, Paolo Casanova's cooking draws heavily on the region and the seasons. The chef is tireless: he personally forages for and grows herbs, he ferments and pickles ingredients etc. This lends his dishes a very personal touch and creates intriguing flavours. Diners choose between the nine-course "Lasciami Libero di Giocare con Te", the five-course "I 5 Elementi" or the seven-course "Ricetta Vegana", as well as à la carte dishes such as linguine ai gamberi. The house-baked bread is outstanding. As for the setting, it is also i

Bib Gourmand 1

Colani Bistrot

Bib Gourmand€€Mediterranean Cuisine, Regional Cuisine

Just off the lobby of the tasteful and well-appointed Hotel Colani, Colani Bistrot is in some ways the little sibling of the fine dining restaurant. The food is excellent – Mediterranean cuisine with a local twist. We can certainly recommend the "Ravioli of the Day". Meat eaters should ask about the main dish centred on venison or veal – showcasing a different cut every day. The appealing range of desserts and cakes also deserves a mention. Friendly service, a laid-back atmosphere and modern interior design featuring pale wood and a whole host of decorative details. There is a charming little

Part of IN LAIN Hotel Cadonau, this inviting restaurant occupies the former cowshed of a traditional Engadin house and has a modern yet rustic style and a cosy atmosphere. Today, the menu is still a celebration of all things cow, featuring various cheese fondues, raclette and capuns (chard-wrapped dumplings), as well as fondue chinoise (Swiss-style hot pot). Tip: Cheese-making demonstrations are held regularly in the evenings. Cheese can be purchased to take home in the on-site shop.

€€€Country cooking

Cornelia and René A Donatz run their business with great dedication. In an elegant rustic-style decor, they serve good fresh cuisine, including classic veal dishes, Angus beef "bestsellers", vegetarian fare and fish such as Graubünden salmon from Lostallo. They stock some 550 wines (20 available by the glass) – a passion of the owner. Donatz Wine Bar proposes a smaller menu. Hotel Donatz has appealingly modern and comfortable guestrooms.

TripAdvisor review sample · 4.7/5 · 52 reviews

Located in Samedan, Donatz specializes in country cuisine with consistently high ratings. Food quality is praised, particularly the meat dishes, veal cordon bleu, and tableside crepes. Service is frequently described as friendly, attentive, and efficient, with some staff recognizing regular guests. The wine list is extensive and pairs well with meals, though some visitors noted limited glass options or lack of recognition regarding wines. Ambiance is intimate and refined, but the small space may reduce privacy. While generally positive, a minority of reviews cited high prices relative to taste or portion size.

Recommended for diners valuing quality ingredients, attentive service, and an extensive wine list, though those preferring spacious, private settings should note the compact layout.
