Gianottis "Wilderei" Café, Grill, Winebar

In Pontresina, Gianottis "Wilderei" Café, Grill, Winebar is a practical choice when the group wants one Alpine address with more than a single format. The verdict: choose it for a relaxed Alpine Swiss grill meal with café, patisserie and wine-bar elements, especially when the mood should feel lively and mountain-casual rather than formal.

The useful thing about Gianottis "Wilderei" Café, Grill, Winebar is its range. It is not only a grill room, not only a café, and not only a wine bar; the identity is that café, lunch space, grill and wine bar sit under one roof. That makes it useful for travelers who want one Pontresina stop for Alpine Swiss grill cooking or patisserie, without turning the meal into a special-occasion production.

Café, grill, wine bar and patisserie under one roof

The venue can be approached through its café, lunch-space and patisserie identity in a relaxed setting. The sunny balcony and glacier views are part of the appeal, the café side gives the venue a flexible feel as well as a fuller grill and wine-bar role.

The grill is the clearer reason to come for a more substantial meal. Roman Kling’s side of the operation is associated with the grill, while Marco Kling’s role as pastry chef and Zuckerbäcker gives the venue a clear dessert and patisserie identity. Dishes such as rib eye steak, Hirsch-Entrecôte, Bündner Plättli, ginger risotto, creative desserts form the clearest picture of what to order. If the group wants Alpine Swiss grill cooking in a relaxed wine-bar atmosphere, this fits.

The pastry side is not an afterthought. Marco Kling’s role as pastry chef and Zuckerbäcker matters because it gives the venue a reason to work beyond a direct grill meal. Dessert, café and patisserie are part of the identity, which is why the place makes sense for travelers who want range without turning every meal into a ceremony.

The room works because it feels social without requiring a big occasion

Atmosphere leans cozy and lively rather than hushed. Think living-room warmth with wine-bar energy, not white-tablecloth silence. The café, grill and wine bar combination keeps the mood flexible, while the sunny balcony and glacier views add an Alpine sense of place.

Falstaff’s 93-point recognition for 2026 helps separate it from a simple café-grill stop. The practical read: this is worth prioritizing when the appeal is Alpine Swiss grill cooking, a relaxed wine-bar mood, patisserie, a setting that can carry different parts of the day.
