We are greeted with a tuna tataki and cream cheese, an orange-colored wine from Anne-Claire Schott from Twann shimmers in the glass. We start the evening at the "Spettacolo" in the luxurious "Lenkerhof" in Lenk. Unlike usual, you can visit chef Anja Jungo's gourmet restaurant here every evening. The menu consists of around 15 courses, from which you can put together your own multi-course meal. We think it's brilliant and are spoiled for choice. We start with Engadine venison with Jerusalem artichokes and truffles. Then celeriac is served as a puree and in whole slices, steamed and grilled. Served with Piedmont hazelnuts. Surprisingly, the venison is served cold, which takes some getting used to, but tastes good. The celeriac homage tastes full-bodied, also thanks to the smoky aromas. On the menu, the local dishes are known as "Lenk classics". One of these is the deep bouillon with vegetable brunoise, in which a fine, fluffy egg filling floats. For the main course, the companion opts for another classic: veal with blue mountain potatoes from the Albula Valley and Borettane onions. For the test eater, there is a Frutiger sturgeon with Oona caviar. Accompanied by a sloppy risotto that lacks a bit of bite. At the cheese counter, the whole region gets its stage thanks to the 35 varieties, so irresistible that it invites you to overfill your plate. We pull ourselves together because we really want to eat the last classic: Mango with sesame ice cream and dark chocolate from Felchlin. A real spectacle at the end.
