Hotel Restorant Lej da Staz

It was disappointing to see that the restaurant was already closed on 3 October 2022 and that only the food trailer was open. I am expecting more from a premium place like St. Moritz. The menu at the food trailer wasn't really great. 1/2 chicken with french fries, fried tofu, sandwiches etc. isn't really what most of the people are expecting. But they charged CHF 7 for a bottle of Möhl cider. Additionally, there was no playground for the kids although this is shown on the webpage of the restaurant. The good thing is that there are sufficient picnic spots with fireplaces nearby.

The restaurant has new operators and a new concept since this season. A menu is now only available on the upper floor (formerly the club terrace). On the first floor, only an afternoon tea-style étagère with sweet and salty snacks is offered at a price of around CHF 40. During our spontaneous midday visit in January outside the high season, all tables on the upper floor were reserved. We had only the choice between an étagère or looking for another restaurant. We opted for the latter and had an excellent meal at Chesa al Parc at the Kulm Hotel in St.Moritz instead. The concept of Afternoon Tea fits a grand hotel, but completely misses the mark for a rustic restaurant. Too bad about the beautiful location. Hopefully this strange concept will be eliminated soon. Only then will we visit the restaurant again.

Siamo già stati in passato al ristorante Lej da Staz, anche se è la prima volta con l’attuale gestione. Ci siamo fermati a pranzo in un giorno infra settimanale molto tranquillo. Siamo stati accolti e serviti con estrema gentilezza dal personale del ristorante. L’ambiente è sempre caldo, con ampi finestroni che offrono viste impagabili sulle montagne innevate e sul lago ghiacciato, dove alcuni si cimentano con i pattini da neve. La location, raggiungibile in mezz’ora a piedi da St. Moritz, è strategica ed è anche l’unico punto d’appoggio nella zona, dove poter consumare un piatto caldo in un ambiente bello e accogliente. Consigliabili i pizzoccheri alla poschiavina. La lista dei dessert potrebbe forse essere ampliata. Prezzi adeguati allo standard svizzero.

La location è sempre speciale, ma le patatine fritte del kiosk sono diventate terribili e il servizio lentissimo, davvero non all’altezza del costo. Qualcuno ha anche addirittura restituito le patatine per quanto erano pessime, solo aria e olio fritto.

Tolle Location, neues Management. Neu: wohltuend freundlicher Service, Ahmad vor allem ist unglaublich aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Essen ist gut, Vegi / Vital-Platte frisch und lecker. Ein perfekter Ort zum Entspannen nach einer langen Wanderung.

Uns wurde zu dritt ein Tisch zugewiesen und sofort die Mittagskarte gegeben. Soweit so gut. Und dann war Schluss. Niemand fühlte sich zuständig, Tische wurden nebenan geputzt, umständlich einkassiert, aber niemand wollte eine Bestellung trotz mehrmaligem freundlichen Anrufen aufnehmen. Nach knapp 30‘ verliessen wir das Lokal wieder, ohne dass jemand uns verabschieden wollte
