Love, love, love the Raclette Factory…read more Really wanted to have another Raclette experience while in Switzerland. The first was in Lucerne and we loved it! Walked to the Raclette Factory from our hotel. Sat at a community table with a family from Argentina. They were so sweet. Their eleven year old was so animated and his parents were the sweetest. Fun to talk to them about travel, our mutual love of rollercoasters and science and the recent World Cup. The son loves Lamine Yamal. The dad is Team Messi. Our waiter, Flavio, made the evening our best choice. We really wanted to try a lot of different cheese flavors and combinations, so we had the Raclette All You Can Eat. Choose a couple of cheeses. Plain. Smoke. Garlic. Chili. White Wine. Red Wine. Blue cheese. Goat. Sheep. Truffle. Add toppings. It comes with pickles and pearl onions. Pickles and melted Raclette cheese. Unbelievably delicious. Add more toppings. Small potatoes, bread or mashed potatoes. So good! Started with the truffle and the red wine with the works, potatoes, mashed potatoes and cubes of bread. The truffle was my favorite of the cheeses and both the mashed potatoes and small potatoes were delicious. I think at the end we tried all of the cheeses but the original. We were stuffed!! Thank you to Flavio who really made our experience at the Raclette Factory a highlight of our visit to Zurich. Service was amazing and he gave us great recommendations. Definitely a night to remember.

Food was good and so was the service. Our waitress helped us through the menu, which was very…read morehelpful because we had no idea what Raclette actually was, or how to order it! Raclette is a dish of melted cheese over potatoes or bread. Which is very good, just extremely rich! I'm from Wisconsin, so I'm all about cheese, but this was a lot! The prices are very high for what you are actually eating, and we almost order the 'all you can eat" option, because it seemed like a good deal. So glad we didn't, because I would have had a tough time trying to eat another pile of melted cheese! We did order the "world best" garlic bread, which was good, but only average... not the world's best!

Fribourger Fondue Stübli is a cozy spot for a traditional Swiss fondue experience in Zurich…read more We ordered the fondue with gherkins, onions, potatoes, pineapple, and pear, paired with their recommended white wine. The fondue was good and I really enjoyed the combination of the creamy cheese with the different accompaniments--especially the fruit, which added a nice contrast. That said, it was good rather than mind-blowing. Service was great and our server was especially thoughtful with our friends' kid, bringing over a coloring book to keep them entertained. Such a sweet touch! We made a reservation by phone, which I'd recommend since the restaurant gets busy around dinner. The atmosphere is warm, cozy, and very much what you want from a fondue restaurant. A nice place to experience Swiss fondue in Zurich, especially if you're looking for a cozy traditional setting.

We saw a really long line for the restaurant and we skipped it because we had a reservation. I'd recommend making one so you can avoid the wait.

There is almost always a line out front, but it moves surprisingly fast if you don't have a reservation. They offer both indoor and charming outdoor street seating with classic Swiss decor. While the restaurant is best known for its wide variety of cheese fondues, from classic bread dippers to meat pairings, we decided to switch things up. We went with the beef served with gnocchi pasta, and it did not disappoint: the beef was incredibly tender and coated in a rich, delicious sauce. We started off with the onion soup topped with puff pastry and an order of escargot. Both dishes were well-made and tasty, though to be completely fair, we'll probably save our high expectations for traditional French onion soup and snails for our upcoming stop in Lyon. The absolute highlight of the night was the chocolate fondue. It was rich, velvety, and paired wonderfully with the fresh fruit platter. Excellent, attentive service throughout despite how busy the place was. A great, lively stop in the heart of Old Town.

The restaurant is located near most of activity in old town Zurich and the Lake. Its entrance in on a small but busy walkway so if you sit outside there is lots of people watching. Inside is a giant dinning area that reminds me more of a beer hall. Very busy, loud and fun! It's also a very historic building. Supposedly William Tell used this building as an armory and kept his famous bow here. Loved, loved the Wienerschitzel! Could have eaten it every night in Zurich! Our waiter was attentive and very funny. Enjoyable experience!

My family of 6 came to Zurich on vacation and wanted to have authentic fondue. We hoped to avoid…read morethe most touristy locations and knew it was going to be pricey. Walliser Keller is a great place to experience local cuisine including fondue. After we arrived we realized there were more choices then just fondue. We ended up ordering 3 fondues and 3 raclette. We ordered the house, mushroom and spiced fondue, very good. Mushroom was the newest flavor for the family. We will probably try to do it at home. You can think of the difference between fondue and raclette as fondue is melted before it comes to the table and raclette is melted at the table. We liked both because they are social meals that take time to eat and allow us to talk. (My children are all teenagers and tend to eat first then maybe talk.) This provided everyone an opportunity to talk about their day and what they wanted to do later. The server was very helpful explaining how to melt the raclette and how the mini potatoes and pickled vegetables accompanied the raclette. We even learned that superstition says are not supposed to drink water with raclette, our usual drink. However, that is an old superstition that has to do with cheese forming a ball in water that could block your digestion. My son and I did not want that to happen an order the house beer, one dark and one light, very good. The ladies risked water, as it was warm for May. We all agreed if we wanted another fondue meal, we woudl come back. Good quality for the price.

With it's friendly service, good food and amazing ambiance, it was my favorite restaurant of our trip. We decided to order the Raclette and the Truffle Butter Fondue (39 CHF). The raclette was served with boiled potatoes and it was really fun being able to watch your own raclette melting at your table on the melter. While I enjoyed the raclette, I enjoyed the Truffle Butter Fondue even more. It was served with pieces of baguette bread and the fondue was so creamy and flavorful. It definitely had a strong truffle flavor which I really enjoyed. Just as enjoyable as the food was the ambiance. Chasalp is located on a hill overlooking Zurich so you have a nice view of the city as you walk from the parking lot to the restaurant. Both indoor and outdoor seating is available but with how beautiful the scenery was, we definitely had to sit outside. Cows roam around the lush green grass as you enjoy your meal and everything feels so peaceful and serene. Our servers were very friendly and helpful and checked on us often to make sure everything was okay. While we didn't have any kids with us, the outdoor space also looked to be kid-friendly with a nearby swing set for children to use along with crayons and drawing sheets at the table to keeps kids occupied. I had such a wonderful and relaxing experience and definitely recommend it if you're in Zurich and looking for a delicious fondue option.
