Vorab - Flims Dorf

Terrible Fondue, supposed to be the best fondue place in Flims/Laax unless the fondue should taste like gasoline, apparently they make it with white wine but it tasted like a mix of whiskey, white whine an a little bit cheese. The chef/owner came to our...table angerly , arrogantly and deamining to how wrong we were about his fondue. I would never go back there and would never recommend it to anyone. For 160 swiss franc we could have had way more pleasant experience and none the less better fondue. Riktig dålig mat och horribel upplevlese, skal angivelig vara bäste fondue stället i dette området om så man gillar diesel smak i maten. Dålig service och väldig överreklamerad.

It is actually somewhat rare to find fondue and raclette in Graubunden. They originate form the French speaking part of Switzerland. So, finding it at restaurant Vorab, is kind of like finding a Philly cheese steak in Houston. That said, they know their market (tourists,...mostly German) come in by the bus load. Still, I find it to be romantic, and the menu is superb. Every time I've gone, I've been treated to a different little amuse-bouche; a shot of chilled fruit soup which is a little different every time. The salads are great. Fresh, with traditional Swiss dressing, and some crunchy stuff, to make the flavors and textures very special. I've had a lot of fundue in my life, but I'd say the Vorab's version makes me dream of my next trip back there. Others posted they didn't enjoy the fondue, but it worked for my palate. They also have some other Swiss specialities such as minced veal. The wine list is full of Swiss surprises. Service was attentive and friendly. This restaurant way outclasses the hotel in which it resides. I might not rush back to lodge here, but Vorab will be my first meal spot as soon as I get to Flims again.

The grilled meats were very tasty. The vegetables are very crunchy. The dessert was heavenly.

Perfect hotel for a holiday in the Flims ski area

Excellent welcome, clean and well-equipped room. Only downside: no French channel on the television set. Warm and welcoming service, passing through for work, I had to leave before breakfast opened, the reception kindly prepared me a lunchbag and they made me a coffee before I left: thank you!
