The story
At the Restaurant Chastè, set within the Schlosshotel Chastè Tarasp, chef Andreas Heidenreich prepares meals that draw on products from the region. The kitchen focuses on Swiss and Classic French cuisine, served in a setting that combines Engadin tradition with modern comfort.
The restaurant is part of a hotel that began as a farmhouse, transformed into a modest inn in 1912. Over the decades, it built an international reputation for its hospitality and cooking. The current building, with its views of the castle of Tarasp, has held four stars since 1985 and continues to be run by the Pazeller family.
The dining experience here is tied to the ingredients of the surrounding valley. The chef sources local produce to create dishes that reflect both the Alpine landscape and the precision of French technique. This commitment to quality has earned the restaurant a Michelin recommendation, a recognition that speaks to the consistency of the kitchen.
Guests can enjoy a meal in the dining room or on the outdoor terrace when the weather allows. The atmosphere is one of understated elegance, where the focus remains on the food and the quiet surroundings. For those staying at the hotel, the restaurant is the natural end to a day spent in the Engadin mountains, offering a menu that changes with the seasons.
