This week the World Economic Forum is finally back in Davos (Switzerland), the 53rd edition f which has the theme of ‘Cooperation in a fragmented world’. After two years of pandemic, everything is back to normal and more than 2,700 political, economic and social leaders from 130 countries are expected to gather there. All in an atmosphere of uncertainty and pressure due to the global risks of inflation, the war in Ukraine, the supply crisis and climate change, among other important issues.
Taking advantage of the fact that many of these meetings and debates on major economic, geopolitical and social challenges will also take place around a table, we have compiled some of the most outstanding restaurants in the area. While many of these restaurants are affordable for the area, they are not affordable for everyone.

The Extrablatt restaurant was recently renovated and offers a charming Belle Époque setting. Decorated with Art Nouveau elements, it offers a light and creative market cuisine, which has become a benchmark in Davos. It also has an excellent wine list. It is located inside the Kongress Hotel (Davos), where you will also find the Vero restaurant.

Located in the town of Davos itself, here you can enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine with an elegant and authentic décor to match.

It offers a high standard of cuisine mixing Mediterranean recipes and fine Swiss specialities, carefully prepared and perfectly presented by the host Roberto. It is a popular place for tourists and locals alike. Its rustic décor makes it even more welcoming.
