Brasserie 1809, Saas-Fee
Brasserie 1809 at the 5-star Capra Hotel combines understated luxury with alpine charm – in terms of both its interior design and menu.
Carefully composed brasserie-style dishes
Those who appreciate both comfort and luxury are certain to feel at home at The Capra – and to find a place of gastronomic indulgence in the Brasserie 1809. Head chef Sebastian Walczak and his team take their inspiration from the rich traditions of Swiss and Italian Alpine cuisine, creating uncomplicated, carefully composed brasserie-style dishes. Incidentally, none of the seasonal and sustainable ingredients have traveled more than 150 kilometers: a subtle difference that you can taste.
As part of the 2025 winter special from Switzerland Tourism and American Express, The Capra has an exclusive offer just for you: If you choose to stay at the five-star chalet hotel for two nights, you will receive a voucher for food and drinks in the Brasserie 1809. Just pay for your room or suite with your American Express Card.
What do the guests order, what does the chef love?
Head chef Walczak already knows what he’d serve himself: a roast beef salad as a starter, followed by homemade pappardelle with duck ragout, root vegetables and blackberries. And what do the guests particularly like? "Right now, the Appenzell herb-crusted lamb breast is very popular as a main," he tells us. "For a starter, the Swiss Wagyu tongue with brioche, horseradish, and sauerkraut." And if your mouth is already watering just reading this, you’re in the best of company.
