The story
High above St. Moritz, Paradiso exists where the forest thins and the sky opens wide. Reachable by chairlift, a hike through the snow, or skis, the destination is as much about the journey as the arrival. It operates as both a Music Deck – a lively social hub with DJs and mountain comfort food – and the Mountain Club, a more refined space for fine dining and exceptional champagne.
Because this is a serious alpine restaurant, the food is taken just as seriously as the setting. The team describes their cuisine as free-spirited and modern, a reinterpretation of alpine classics that strips away the unessential and focuses on purity and authenticity. Ingredients are fresh and locally sourced whenever possible; a chef takes a creative approach to classic recipes, and each dish’s origin is clearly stated on the menu. Even the water comes from the restaurant’s own mountain source, reducing the need for single-use bottles. This dedication to honest, confident cooking earned Paradiso a 2026 Michelin Recommendation.
Beyond the plate, the wine and champagne program is extraordinary. With over 500 wines and one of the largest, most exclusive champagne selections in the region, they are served in an altitude-friendly climate that is perfect for enjoyment. The atmosphere shifts easily from a fine-dining meal with panoramic Alpine views to an evening of dancing under the stars. The team sums it up plainly: they make great food, have fantastic champagne, and like to laugh. It is a place to connect, grow, and enjoy life at the top of the world.
