Osteria Grütli con alloggio

There’s a change of guard at this Ticino dining institution where young couple Eloa Geiser and Yanick Walker have taken over the running of both the kitchen and front of house service. Eloa, the charming female half of the partnership, is also a qualified sommelier and takes very good care of her guests, while Yanick, adds his classic-French culinary stamp without neglecting his Valois roots, although he is not averse to adding some Mediterranean flair to his cuisine. In addition to its usual menu, on Tuesdays guests can order the “Stazione” veal liver, and on Saturdays the special braised bee

Situated just above Ascona, about 1km from the town centre, this friendly hotel boasts panoramic views of Lake Maggiore, the surrounding mountains and the island of Brissago. Enjoy modern, carefully prepared cuisine in the comfortable dining room or on the idyllic outdoor terrace in summer.
