Individual ratings for Stiva Veglia
The hamlet of Schnaus is located near the town of Ilanz on the "Bündner Oberland", Grisons highlands – largely uncharted territory in culinary terms. It is well worth a detour, and may be conveniently combined with a stay in Flims-Laax.
It does not get any cosier than these wood-panelled rooms – not least because of the scent of freshly stained wood.
The restaurant extends over two rustic but elegant dining rooms with tables decked out in white. During the warm season, the little patio beckons with its magnificent view.
A veritable feast is the "45-minute egg" with local ingredients, done with beef tartare and bread cubes roasted the Mediterranean way. It is possibly topped, though, by the Arctic char variation from Val Lumnezia. We were as thrilled as we were astounded later when we learned that Tino Zimmerman does all this with just one other hand in the kitchen. The dishes are so well planned and refined that we were sure they could not have been prepared by less than a team of ten.
A tempting wine cellar, perfect for a tasting in a small circle of friends. The well-appointed wine list of around 100 names puts the emphasis on domestic wines.
Delectable! Despite the fact that we were an hour late and showed up outside the regular business hours, hostess Cornelia Auchter was perfectly at ease and charming when welcoming us. Bad traffic and all the hustle and bustle were quickly forgotten, and we devoted our whole attention to the fresh-market cuisine of Tino Zimmermann.
Stiva Veglia Restaurant, Schnaus
Price range
Charming and attentive service that leaves nothing to be desired.
"In the middle of nowhere" – as there is no other hotel nearby that has been recommended by Pillow & Pepper (yet). The venues found in the surrounding area are little more than purpose-built accommodations.
