Review
Durant Imboden:
Badrutt's Palace has one of the best locations in the village, along with a
grotto swimming pool and other amenities. Don't let the "celebrities and
royalty" hype scare you off--your fellow guests are more likely to be corporate
executives, lawyers, and orthodontists than crown princes and opera stars.
Dinner
in the main dining room is an experience in itself, with a pecking order of
captains, waiters, and apprentices to serve up the generous quantities of
Continental dishes and Engadine specialties. I once watched as a captain warmed
a plate by spinning it through the flame of a rechaud on his fingertips--an
impressive display of skill that might have won applause in a less restrained
venue such as Planet Hollywood or TGI Friday's.
I strongly recommend taking at least one meal at the Chesa Veglia (the hotel's annex restaurant in a
restored Engadine farmhouse across the street). The steak
cooked at tableside is superb, and the Chesa Veglia's atmosphere combines
impeccable service with
Heidi coziness.
