The story
In the heart of Gstaad, The Mansard Restaurant brings the flavours of the Bernese Oberland to the table with a light, inventive touch. The kitchen works with local farms and cheesemakers to source the finest produce, and the menu shifts with the seasons, offering a menu of seasonal, international dishes that feel rooted in the Alpine landscape.
The restaurant describes its cooking as “subtly inventive takes on classics, always deeply rooted in the flavours of the region.” Swiss culinary tradition meets carefully selected global influences, so a dish might feel familiar yet surprising. The setting is a lively brasserie, warm and inviting, with the same blend of traditional Alpine architecture and contemporary chalet design found throughout the boutique hotel.
This is a restaurant that has earned a Michelin Recommended designation, a recognition that speaks to the quality and consistency of the kitchen’s work. The cooking is confident, unfussy, and driven by what the land provides.
For drinks, the Mansard Bar offers an elegant wood-panelled space with an open fireplace, while the Mansard Rooftop, Gstaad’s only rooftop bar, serves carefully crafted cocktails with sweeping views of the surrounding mountains. It is a straightforward, well-executed place to eat and drink in one of Switzerland’s most scenic settings.
