Elisa - Bistro & Terrasse
Giessbach, near Brienz, Switzerland
Elisa pairs the historic atmosphere of Grandhotel Giessbach with a terrace above Lake Brienz. The cooking draws on regional ingredients, including produce from the estate’s garden, and the menu gives vegetables a place alongside fish and meat. The lake and nearby waterfalls make this especially appealing as part of a summer outing, rather than a meal squeezed between transfers. Arrive with time to explore the grounds before settling at the table and enjoying the setting.
