A very nice tradition at Wetag is our big get together at the end of the year where we all meet for a great dinner and some fun beside of the daily business. For the dinner we always try to find the best places where you can eat if it comes to quality. This year we went to Bellinzona, the “Canton’s” capital and also UNESCO world heritage site where we booked our table at the “Castel Grande” deluxe restaurant which is located in the same named castle and one of Bellinzona’s three castles overlooking the city. The restaurant is a very chic mixture of the old traditional building structure combined with modern elements made of concrete, marble and glass. Clean lines and black, white and grey colours forming the background of this stylish restaurant. Comfy seating makes even the longest dinner more than comfortable.

Well, after the aperitif we started our five courses menue with two kinds of Hors d’oeuvre which were very delicious. Now, culinary excited and prying what’s next, the very friendly waiter served the starter. The well arranged appetizer was a cold plate combination of different tastes like Caprese, sort of fish, vegetable salad variation and a pâté. All this, was followed by the first main course a light tagliatelle with salmon on a light creamy sauce. But, without a doubt, the second main course was the highlight of the dinner. Our palate was titillated and spoiled by a very tasty and tender filet of a deer on a delicious sauce and Brussels sprouts and “spaetzle dumplings”. After that, the desert could only extend the culinary trip without setting a last highlight, but with all the wines and Grappa’s, it’s been a great festival of senses. Being around with all the colleagues from all our offices is always fun since we don’t see each other that often and with lots of stories told, this night became memorable.
