talvo by dalsass

just outside of st. moritz, there is a 17th century farmhouse that houses a magical restaurant.

inside, wooden beams glow in the light of the chandelier and tabletop candles -- a warm contrast to the icy wonderland outside. views of swiss chalets and snow-covered pines from the windows appear more like paintings. it feels like a dream, but this is real.

flush of champagne and gleam of silver. servers run to fetch an unfamiliar ingredient from the kitchen when i display any curiosity. sparkling water and wine.

flavours are combined at the hands of a genius, unexpectedly fantastic when i least expect them to be. tuna and burrata, or red mullet and pistachio, for instance, leave me wordless.

chocolate mousse impossibly dark. sorbets so intense i am reintroduced to flavours of fruits i thought i had already known. food so lovely i feel as if this is the first time i have ever truly tasted.














this was one of the nights... when i felt the ineluctible beauty of being alive.
