Restaurant in Arosa, Switzerland
La Liste's rising pick in Graubünden.
La Brezza Arosa earned 95 points on La Liste 2026 — a meaningful jump from 92.5 the previous year — making it Arosa's most credentialled fine-dining address. Chef Pascal Silman's Swiss kitchen benefits from direct alpine sourcing in Graubünden, and the 4.6 Google rating across 413 reviews confirms consistent delivery. Book here if you want mountain-region cooking at a genuinely high technical level.
La Brezza Arosa scored 95 points on La Liste's 2026 rankings — up from 92.5 the year before — making it one of Switzerland's most consistently improving fine-dining addresses. That trajectory matters: this is not a restaurant coasting on a hotel dining room reputation. Under chef Pascal Silman, La Brezza is earning recognition that puts it in genuine conversation with the country's leading Swiss cuisine destinations. If you are staying at Hotel Tschuggen or passing through Arosa, booking here is a direct call.
La Brezza sits inside the Hotel Tschuggen in Arosa, a mountain resort town in Graubünden canton , the same region that produced Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau, one of Switzerland's most decorated restaurants. The setting is alpine but the cooking operates at a register well above what the ski-resort context might suggest. That gap between expectation and delivery is precisely where La Brezza earns its following.
The La Liste score of 95 in 2026 places La Brezza among a cohort of restaurants that includes some of Switzerland's most serious kitchens , among them Memories in Bad Ragaz, Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl in Basel, and Hotel de Ville Crissier in Crissier. The two-and-a-half-point jump from 92.5 in 2025 to 95 in 2026 signals a kitchen in active upward motion, not one that has plateaued. For a food-focused traveller building an itinerary through the Swiss Alps, that kind of year-on-year improvement is a more reliable indicator of quality than a static award.
Pascal Silman's approach sits within Swiss fine dining's current mainstream , disciplined, seasonally grounded, and technically precise , but the mountain location gives the kitchen access to alpine produce that chefs in Zurich or Basel have to work harder to source. Graubünden's larder is genuine: the region's dairy, game, and foraged ingredients have a direct relationship to what appears on the plate here that urban fine-dining addresses cannot easily replicate. That provenance is a practical argument for booking La Brezza specifically rather than a comparable Swiss kitchen in a city setting. For comparison, The Restaurant in Zurich and Einstein Gourmet in Sankt Gallen operate at similar quality tiers but without the direct alpine sourcing advantage.
The Google rating of 4.6 across 413 reviews is a useful cross-check: at that volume, the score reflects a broad guest base rather than a handful of enthusiasts. It confirms that La Brezza holds up not just for special-occasion diners but for the wider hotel clientele passing through, which is a harder test for consistency than a destination-only restaurant faces. For other strong options in Arosa itself, Artis by Tristan Brandt and Muntanella both offer distinct alternatives if you are eating across multiple nights.
Booking La Brezza is not the logistical challenge that comparable Swiss restaurants can present. Unlike destination-only addresses such as Schloss Schauenstein or Maison Wenger in Le Noirmont, where tables weeks out can be difficult, La Brezza's hotel-restaurant format means availability is more manageable , particularly outside peak ski season. That said, the Arosa ski calendar concentrates demand in December through March and again in July and August, so booking a few weeks ahead during those windows is sensible. The shoulder months , May, June, September, October , are the easier periods if flexibility matters to you.
Price point information is not publicly available from the database, but the La Liste 95 positioning and the Hotel Tschuggen address both signal a premium tier. Expect this to sit at the higher end of Arosa's dining options. If you are comparing value across Swiss fine dining, Da Vittorio in St. Moritz and Colonnade in Lucerne offer useful benchmarks for the price-to-quality calculation in comparable Swiss resort and city contexts.

Booking difficulty is rated Easy. The hotel-restaurant format at Hotel Tschuggen means reservations are generally available with reasonable lead time. During peak ski season and summer school holidays, aim for two to three weeks ahead. Outside those windows, one week is likely sufficient. No phone or website data is available in the database , book directly through the hotel's reservation channels. Dress code details are not confirmed, but a hotel restaurant at this award level warrants smart casual at minimum. Check the hotel directly for any specific requirements.

What to weigh when choosing between La Brezza Arosa and alternatives.
Arosa is a small mountain resort, so serious fine dining options within the town itself are limited — La Brezza is the clear anchor. If you're willing to travel within Graubünden, Schloss Schauenstein in Fürstenau is the benchmark: three Michelin stars and a reference point for the entire region. For a Zurich-based alternative without the mountain drive, IGNIV Zürich by Andreas Caminada offers a similarly polished Swiss kitchen in a more accessible city setting.
La Brezza sits inside Hotel Tschuggen, which is a full-service hotel property — that format typically supports private dining and group bookings more readily than a standalone restaurant. For groups of six or more, check the venue's official channels to confirm availability and any private room options. Booking well ahead is advisable regardless of group size, particularly during ski season when Arosa fills up.
La Brezza is a hotel restaurant operating at a serious level: 95 points on La Liste 2026, up from 92.5 the year before, putting it among Switzerland's most consistently improving fine dining addresses. Chef Pascal Silman leads the kitchen. The Swiss cuisine focus means the menu leans into regional identity rather than international fusion. Come expecting a considered, destination-level meal rather than a casual alpine dinner.
Bar seating arrangements at La Brezza are not confirmed in available data. As a hotel restaurant inside Hotel Tschuggen, there is likely a separate hotel bar on the property, but whether counter or bar dining is offered in the restaurant itself is worth confirming directly when you book. Don't assume walk-in bar access at this level — call ahead.
Yes, with a clear caveat on setting: Arosa is a mountain resort town, which makes La Brezza a strong choice if you're already staying in the area or planning a destination trip around it. The 95-point La Liste 2026 score gives it genuine credibility for a milestone dinner. If you need a special occasion restaurant with easier urban access, IGNIV Zürich or Memories in Bad Ragaz are worth comparing.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy for La Brezza, meaning reservations are generally available without extreme lead time. That said, Arosa's ski season compresses demand significantly — during peak winter months, book at least two to three weeks out to avoid gaps. For summer visits, a week's notice is likely sufficient, but confirming directly with Hotel Tschuggen is always the safer call.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
