MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine

Le Tapis Rouge has been reincarnated as Elisa - Bistro & Terrasse, but the commitment to local sourcing and sustainable practices remains unchanged. This restaurant is located in the venerable Grandhotel Giessbach (built in 1875), right at the foot of the waterfalls of the same name, and boasts a wonderful view of Lake Brienz. The food is delicious, contemporary in style and primarily made using produce grown in the hotel's own 2ha vegetable garden. The other ingredients are locally sourced and from small-scale producers: fish comes from Lake Brienz, veal from a neighbouring farmer. On the menu, vegetables take centre stage, with dishes such as Giessbach agnolotti with Meiringen cream cheese and broccoli. Tip: In the evening, opt for the "Tour du Domaine" surprise menu for sharing (for two or more people).

Gastronomy & Sustainability

MICHELIN Green Star

"Surrounded by nature, our vegetable garden dictates the menu! We grow numerous Pro Specie Rara varieties on our doorstep. Fish and meat are merely supplements and these are sourced micro-regionally. Zero waste and leaf-to-root practices are par for the course for us, and our electricity is generated by hydropower!"
