Lapin Bleu — Restaurant in Sankt Moritz

We came here because my wife saw a review on their so-called Chinese fondue, and they opened later than many restaurants. We understand that restaurants in Switzerland generally accept walk-ins but usually reservation is best. So we were not seated at the best seats in the restaurant, we were fine with this, however if you are traveling to Switzerland, I highly recommend you practice local tradition.

We ordered their Chinese fondue and local bratwurst plate. Bratwurst is excellent and I do miss it, the Chinese fondue is what surprised me. I thought it was just soup replacing cheese, basically like a hotpot, while the concept is really fondue style just no cheese and bread. The food is plentiful for one, but I don't recommend sharing like asian people love to do. If you "share" they will bring out additional plates and silverware to split the dish at your table. This is highly unnecessary and the table is already small, so they brought out a small extension just for the extra plate. That aside, the cooking is at your table and is just like typical fondue style just with asian ingredients, and the bread for fondue is replaced with thinly sliced meats (beef and pork, I believe). The surprise was at the end. After we finished eating, the wife was just being asian and wanted to try the soup so she used a small side dish container for taste. The waiter saw this and said, no need for that. I make you soup after. This is what many people did not explain much. He returned with two small bowls (with glass noodles) and split the beef bouillon into it, then added sherry into the soup. THAT itself made the difference. I hadn't expected that at all. It was excellent. We then ordered dessert and the lemon sorbet with vodka was awesome.

I did notice staff paid much attention to the tables. Their serving staff is the best in comparison to all places we've visited in...

Broad selection of local food, in particular pastas and meat, embracing the taste of the Graubunden Kanton and the very close Valtellina. We opted for a carpaccio with porcini mushroom, very juicy and tasty, and grilled Chateaubriand with vegetables, very delicious and well accompanied by a bernaise sauce. Few details Might have supported the 5 stars: 1) carpaccio was well presented, but a bit complicated to eat (putting together all ingredients). 2) The Chateaubriand was perfectly cooked and served medium/rare but, being served in 2 times (it was a generous piece), the slices served on the 2nd round turned overcooked while being kept warm, and changed taste completely. Desserts (a colonel with William peers spirit and a lemon sorbet with wodka ended a very enjoyable meal. Place is very elegant and if you are curious, ask the waiter to explain the history of the cartoon portraits on the walls, a piece of history and tradition of this long...

We went for dinner on a Saturday night just after 18:00 in Ocotber and it was not very busy. We ordered the basic cheese fondue for 3 people. It had a slightly sharp taste which I quite liked but my partner thought was a little heavy for her taste. It came with ample amounts of whole wheat bread which we got refilled upon request. We ordered a bottle of simple slightly fruity and sweet wine which paired nicely with the fondue and had dessert afterward (all of which were a good portion). I ordered the black forest cake which I found to be too cream heavy and lacking cherry or chocolate flavour. The others ordered the sorbet and nusstorte which were quite good. The wait staff were attentive and polite, and I liked the rabbit themed decor. The prices were a little bit high but not ridiculous in relation to other restaurants in the area, and it did not seem like a tip was expected upon...
