Belle Epoque

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

French Cuisine and a Cellar Worth Celebrating

Inside the GOLFHOTEL Les Hauts de Gstaad & SPA, the Belle Epoque restaurant carries its name honestly. The décor is stylish and considered, the atmosphere refined without being stiff — the kind of room where a long lunch or an unhurried dinner feels entirely natural.

The kitchen's focus is French cuisine, expressed through a gourmet menu that draws on a wide variety of delicacies. What sets Belle Epoque apart, however, is the deliberate attention given to the wine list. Walter von Siebenthal and Markus Sprenger have personally tasted and selected more than 300 wines from around the world, each chosen to complement the food rather than simply accompany it. That pairing philosophy earned the restaurant a Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence in 2022 — one of the guide's most respected recognitions for wine programs that go meaningfully beyond the expected.

A Table in the Alps

Sitting in the Bernese Oberland above Gstaad, Belle Epoque benefits from the particular atmosphere that comes with an alpine hotel setting — unhurried, away from the noise, with guests who have come specifically to be here. The French cuisine on offer feels well-suited to that pace: food worth lingering over, paired with wines that reward attention.

For those who want to explore the cellar further, the full wine list is available directly from the restaurant.
