Winter Café Menu

For members. Or anyone who speaks fondly of winters in the Engadin.
(Available daily from 11:11 AM until the last Burgundy is poured.)

A note from the kitchen: Chef Lucien Marceau has returned from his annual alpine sabbatical, rumored to have split his time between St. Moritz terraces, Courchevel lunches that lasted too long, and a discreet visit to his old boarding school in Rolle (you know the one).

His winter menu draws from the rituals of those raised on raclette dinners, quiet chauffeurs, long lift lines they’ve never stood in, and an ease that only arrives through either inheritance or excellent taste.

Expect indulgence. Expect elegance.
Expect subtext.
