As first time visitors to Switzerland, I was excited to try the local Swiss cuisine and Chasalp did not disappoint. 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. read more
