Silver 7132 - Fine Dining in the Swiss Alps
People travel to the little mountain village of Vals deep in the Alps of Switzerland for the thermal baths: 7132 Therme & Spa designed by famed Swiss architect Peter Zumthor. But to that you should add another reason to visit: Sven Wassmer and his two Michelin stars and 18 Gault&Millau points that he and his team are showing off in the Silver, the restaurant of the thermal baths hotel 7132.
Btw, I stayed in the wonderful Brücke 49, see my report here.
But now: enjoy the show!
Ambience
The hotel lobby and restaurant were tastefully decorated for the upcoming Christmas festivities.




Apéritif

The Menu


I opted for the 9 course degustation menu with wine journey.



Amuse-bouche

This multi-course amuse-bouche was delivered by different members of the kitchen team, which was a nice touch.



The best butter you are ever gonna have. Retrieved every morning from a local farmer, never a day old, it tastes how nature intended (an I usually don't like butter).
1st Course - Silver Waffle


2nd Course - Scallop


3rd Course - Saibling


4th Course - Pigtail


5th Course - Langoustine


6th Course - Raclette


7th Course - Highland Beef


Cheese



8th Course - Grapefruit Sorbet


9th Course - Beetroot





Digestif
The outdoor fumoir had a cosy fireplace, unfortunately the walls didn't hold the cold back. It must be nicer on an alpine summer night.
