Steeped in tradition, Talvo has entered a new era. After a good innings at this enchanting Engadine farmhouse, which dates from 1658, Martin Dalsass has passed the torch to his long-standing colleagues: Kevin Fernandez now runs the kitchen and Lisa Carlevero presides front of house.

In the tradition-steeped Cresta Palace Hotel, Moses Ceylan (best known for his work at Einstein Gourmet in St Gallen) whisks you away on a culinary journey to the Levant, drawing on his heritage.
