Restaurant Chadafö in Celerina/Schlarigna

"I know and frequent this restaurant for over 15 years. Each time I am climbing the wonderful mountains of St. Moritz step into it for a small meal. Very good, a great place for families with a small playground and several specialties for everyone who arrives there."

"Chadalfo, tucked into the sun-drenched slopes of the Upper Engadin valley, is a delightful blend of Alpine tradition and creative Mediterranean flair. From the moment you step onto its timbered terrace—overlooking the pine-clad valley and the distant peaks—you know you’re in for something special. Ambiance • The dining room is bright and welcoming: pale wood floors, linen-draped tables and a wall of windows that frame the mountains. In good weather, the terrace offers panoramic views and the gentle buzz of local hikers unwinding after a day on the trails. Soft jazz drifts through discreet speakers, setting an elegant yet relaxed mood. Service • The front-of-house team strikes the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth. Our server was knowledgeable about both classic Engadin specialties and Chadalfo’s signature dishes—and happy to recommend Swiss wines that complement every course. Water carafes were refreshed without being asked, and check-ins were timed just right. Food • Starters: The vaulted‐garlic soup spiked with black truffle shavings was a velvety triumph, while the beetroot carpaccio with horseradish crème fraîche balanced earthiness and tang. • Mains: A perfectly pink venison loin arrived with juniper-infused jus and a quenelle of chestnut purée, a true taste of the region. For lighter palates, the house-made tagliatelle with mountain-herb pesto proved both fragrant and comforting. • Desserts: Don’t miss the Engadin nut tart, served warm alongside a quenelle of vanilla-scented gelato—simple, rich, and utterly memorable. Value • Prices reflect high-quality ingredients and expert preparation—expect to spend around CHF 80–120 per person with wine. Given the setting, the service and the inventiveness of the menu, it’s well worth it. Overall Chadalfo is a must-visit for anyone exploring the Engadin Valley. It combines the hearty spirit of the Alps with unexpected culinary twists, all delivered in a setting that could double as a postcard. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply treating yourself after a hike, Chadalfo leaves a lasting impression."

"Overall compared to other restaurants in Corgvilia, Chadafö has the best value for money."

"Restaurant Chadafö has a very charming alpine atmosphere that immediately makes you feel welcome. The cozy interior, warm wooden details, and relaxed mountain vibe create a lovely setting, especially after a day in St. Moritz. Service is friendly and the overall experience feels calm and inviting, making it a pleasant place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The food is prepared well and presented nicely, with a menu focused on classic alpine flavors. Everything tastes good and feels thoughtfully made. That said, the prices are on the high side for what is offered, and the portions are relatively small, which takes away a bit from the overall value. While the quality is quite there, the cost may feel hard to justify if you are looking for a more filling or reasonably priced meal. Overall, Chadafö is a nice choice for atmosphere and a cozy dining experience, but it is better suited for those who prioritize ambiance over portion size and value."

"Famillly and friendly place. Pizze and pasta pretty well done. Benevolent and friendly service. A really good place to have lunch !"

"An amazing restaurant situated at the bottom of the chair lift with a wonderful sunny outlook. Excellent lunch of freshly made pumpkin pasta and a pear, walnut and Gorgonzola salad with lambs lettuce. Lovely day."

"Good variety of meals, warm enough inside, cool staff."

"I am not a huge fan of pizza, but I'm a huge fan of this one. My bolognese was also amazing, my husband loved his Beef Tagliata, bread was super fresh... nothing to complain about. Just one thing, though, it takes quite some time to eat here (I mean order + get food + pay), so reserve yourself maybe an hour."
