The interior decoration was so classical European. The furniture was made of wood. As we sat down and moved on our wooden seats, we could hear those typical sounds of wooden furniture. So exotic.

The table cloth was so traditional European too. The tableware looked so beautiful. I loved the small flower pot on our table.

We had asked for their set lunch menu beforehand so we could order straight away.

Shortly after we had placed our orders, we were served this bread basket. There was no introduction of the bread, unlike those Michelin restaurants out there. The bread was warm and was better than last time which was cold as I recalled. The bread was crispy outside and soft inside and tasted pretty good with the butter. We did ask for more bread while we were waiting for our food.

While the beef carpaccio wasn't particularly outstanding eaten on its own, it was delicious eating with the pickled white asparagus and slightly salty & crispy air-dried beef chips as well as other sides. However, it was still far far from the superb beef carpaccio at Amigo.

This chilled gazpacho essence surprised us as it was exceptionally refreshing and went perfectly well with the crab meat rissoles. Although we didn't eat the crab meat rissoles right away, they were still hot and went perfectly well with the chilled gazpacho essence. The gazpacho essence was a bit sour which gave a right balance to the deep-fried crab meat. The only complaint was that we couldn't really taste crab meat in the rissoles.

This sliced chicken was one of their classics. We were glad that we tried it, as the chicken was smooth and the sauce tasted pretty good with the mushrooms. The potato cake on the side was a bit salty yet delicious. 

Pan-fried veal escalopes with creamy savoy cabbage and onion rings, natural gravy

Comparatively, this pan-fried veal escalopes was a bit disappointing. Although it was still tender, it seemed to be lacking beef flavour and was a bit too dry (maybe because it was not fatty enough). The onion rings were tasty though.

Iced chocolates with skimmed milk

It took quite a while before our desserts arrived, so we ordered our drinks first. We remembered that the iced chocolate was so soo good last time that we couldn't help not ordering this time. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. There was no chocolate chips/cream served on the side and the ice cubes were so huge taking up the majority of the glass. The iced chocolates were a bit too bitter and tasted so much worse than 2 years ago.

This dessert was also one of their classics. The vanilla creme brulee itself was ok. But I think it didn't go so well with green apple sorbet. The crunchy short bread was so tiny too.

However, this dessert was so soo good! Although I was never a fan of coffee, I really liked how there was coffee ice-cream perfectly wrapped in crispy chocolates with caramelised mixed nuts on top. I really loved the different textures offered by this dessert. The presentation was also pretty appealing to the eyes. 

Petits fours (ginger bread and chocolate)

Finally, here you go petits fours to end the meal. The ginger bread was quite fresh and slightly crispy. There was nothing special about the chocolate though.

Overall, Chesa has always been one of my favourite restaurants as price was comparatively affordable at a hotel with food of nice quality and portion. Service was also very good as the staff was pretty friendly and gave you a warm dining experience. Interior decoration was also very exotic. Definitely a place to go back from time to time.
