Unser Ziel ist es, die Magie der Alpen kulinarisch einzufangen.

The clocks went back last night. Outside, the dark comes a little earlier now. Inside, the fire is already lit.

Earlier evenings, longer tables. And on the menu: grilled rock octopus from Spain.

20/10/2026

At the table.

Pizzas shared down the middle, a glass of red poured, a slice lifted. Our pizza starts with slowly fermented Neapolitan dough.

Open Tuesday to Sunday from 12:00, and this month also on Monday 26 October.

From the fire, part one: how a paella begins. A drop of oil in the empty pan, the sofrito, the rice.

In our kitchen it takes at least forty minutes, and it is always for two.

Mallorca, Lake Sils, and a plate in Zuoz.

On our menu, the grilled rock octopus rests on a potato cream made with sobrassada from Mallorca, the island's soft, paprika-red cured sausage. Around it: new potatoes and vegetables of the season.

A little of the island, a little of the Engadine.

The people behind Alegría.
David Arellano and his team, in the kitchen and in the dining room. While the larches outside turn gold and the evenings grow cool, they cook, plate and serve, for lunch after a hike or for a long evening at the table.
As David wrote in his October letter: „Here everyone moves a little closer together.“
Open Tuesday to Sunday from 12.00, and this October also on Mondays, the 12th, 19th and 26th.

Until 10 October, nobody in Graubünden may pick a single mushroom.

The first ten days of every month are closed season here, so the forest gets a rest. On the 11th the baskets come out again, two kilos per person per day at most.

In Spain, autumn has its own name for this: temporada de setas. In Catalonia whole families head into the woods on a Sunday morning, a buscar bolets, and come home with whatever the forest gives them.

Our kitchen doesn’t have to wait for the 11th. Porcini go on the pizza, and the beef filet comes with a mushroom cannellone.

Open Tuesday to Sunday, and this October also on Mondays, the 12th, 19th and 26th.

Bellota means acorn.

In the dehesas of south-western Spain, the acorns are starting to fall about now. From autumn until late winter, the Ibérico pigs roam the oak meadows and live on acorns and grass. Only ham from pigs fattened this way may carry the word bellota.

Then the legs are salted, hung, and left alone. Ours was left for sixty months. Five years before the first slice.

At Alegría it is carved by hand and served on its own with bread and olive oil, or laid over a pizza straight from the oven: the Pizza Speziale.

A horse walked past the terrace one afternoon in June, and nobody at the table looked up from lunch. That is what summer was like this year in Zuoz. Long, warm, unhurried, full of small things we barely noticed at the time.

We kept a few of them. The Rioja is still open. The tomato bread still comes to the table warm. The kitchen still lights up every evening. Alegría stays open through autumn and winter: Tuesday to Sunday, 12:00 - 21:30.
