Since 1880, the temple of fresh fish in the Engadine
On the shores of Lake Sils, where the sea meets the mountains
Murtaröl is much more than a restaurant: it is a piece of Engadine history. Founded in 1880 as a guesthouse and stagecoach stop on the Maloja Pass, in the 1980s it became a landmark for those seeking the best fresh fish in the Alps.
The choice was visionary: bringing the sea to the mountains when no one else was doing it. Today, more than 45 years later, we continue this tradition with the same passion: daily deliveries from the Milan fish market, live fish from our tanks, and a selection that has made Murtaröl an institution throughout Switzerland.
An Italian-style seafood restaurant, where comfort and quality come together in every dish.
10 tanks with live fish to choose from. Daily deliveries from Milan and local fishermen in Engadine. Only products that arrive alive in the kitchen.
On the shores of Lake Sils at 1,797 m, with breathtaking views of Piz Corvatsch. The perfect terrace for an unforgettable lunch or dinner.
An excellent wine cellar with a selection of Swiss, Italian, and French wines. Champagne, sparkling wines, and local wines to accompany every dish.
Open 7 days a week, kitchen open from 11:45 a.m. to 10:45 p.m. No seasonal restrictions: we have been here 365 days a year since 1983.
Our signature dish: aromatic fish broth served in fondue with a selection of four premium fish. A unique experience in the Alps.
Creamy soup with chunks of Canadian lobster. Pure comfort in every spoonful.
Pure freshness. Ask today which fish we have selected for you.
The region on a plate: buckwheat pasta, potatoes, savoy cabbage, and local cheeses. Where the sea meets the mountains.
In 2025, we have one goal: to make you feel at home.
There should be no rush, confusion, or tension at the table. We want to create a bubble of well-being where every guest can relax, savor, and experience a moment of authentic calm.
Eating at Murtaröl means taking your time, enjoying the view, choosing carefully, and feeling pampered from the first bite to the last.
From 1880, when we were a small inn for fishermen and travelers, to today: an icon of the Engadine that has evolved without losing its soul.
A story of family, passion, and courageous choices that brought the sea to the mountains long before it became a trend.
