Indian Dining Warlingham

Relais & Chateaux Restaurant St. Hubertus, Rosa Alpina hotel, San Cassiano, Alta Badia, Italian Dolomites
You might expect an alpine hut selling schnitzel in the Italian Dolomites, but not a two Michelin-star restaurant at the foot of those colossal peaks.

Celebration is in the air, along with the odd tantalising whiff from the mandir’s Shayona restaurant just across the bustling car park.
