One evening.

We are now taking reservations for the winter season.
4.8 out of 5 stars on GoogleHow the evening works
One table for twelve guests.
The Blackroom has one long table for twelve guests. If you come as two or four, you sit a little apart from other guests, who may have ordered something entirely different – like a dinner table among friends. Last winter, many guests who had never met before got talking at this table.
From eight guests, the room is yours alone.
Reserve & choose
When you reserve, you choose the Menu Surprise or one of our pre-order dishes – whether you are two or eight – and tell us about allergies and anything you would rather not eat.
We shop for you
Pre-orders up to 48 hours ahead. That is how the line-caught sea bass from Brittany makes its way to Arosa.
Arrive & enjoy
The Blackroom opens daily from 6 pm. Over the aperitif we present the evening’s Menu Surprise, so you can choose the right wine at your leisure.

Our story
Le Bistro Arosa, reimagined.
Le Bistro Arosa has existed since 1982. Owner and head chef Florian Lau joined in 2011 and runs the house today. Many guests know our restaurant by that name – and know our Monsieur with his beret and wine glass. He has stayed, as have the bouillabaisse, the oysters, the Crema Catalana and the Mongolian hot pot.
Since last winter we have been cooking in the Blackroom for no more than twelve guests: dark walls, candlelight and one long wooden table. This winter we go a step further and do away with the menu card altogether. The kitchen knows in advance who it is cooking for and buys exactly for that.
The Blackroom is in Haus Alexandra, just behind Pizzeria La Famiglia. Our team welcomes you at the entrance and takes you straight to your table.
