    House white wine
    Vicky C.

    We had a long layover in Zurich so went into town and got some fondue. Sat outside since we read that many other fondue places that doesn't have outdoor seating will make you smell like cheese, and we didn't want that! Besides the perk of outdoor seating, the fondue was very delicious and bubbling hot when served and we also got some local house white wine and it was very good too! Our meal came out to about $71 Swiss francs which is about $90 USD

    Escargot was great, as was the meat plate and side pickled veggies.

    Service was awesome and they took good care of us in serving beers and wine. The fondue was really good and we had one of each for 5 of us. My fav was the mushroom, but I really wanted to like the truffle/mushroom. Cute little place near Geossmünster cathedral. Only issue we had was when we ordered veggies to dip in the fondue they steamed them overdone. Otherwise, a really great place for some authentic Swiss fondue!

    Fondue!!
    Sharon S.

    The service and phenomenal , the staff was very friendly and helpful. I got the fondue and it was delicious , so glad we were able to experience this while in Switzerland! Several locals recommended this to us and I can see why. Reservations were needed for our party of 6. If doing the fondue as an entrée I recommended adding a meat.

    Fondue

    First, I highly recommend making a reservation. There were a bunch of groups waiting even before it opened. Second, we are tourists and came here for the fondue. This was a recommended place by many. We ordered the regular cheese and it came with pieces of bread. My family and I didn't really like it, to be honest. It didn't really taste like cheese, and more like alcohol. It was 30 euros per person. Lastly, the service and ambience were great. If I came here again I'd order something else.

    Delicious Rosti

    Called the restaurant around 7:30pm as we didn't have a reservation, and they said come over and they would work us in. Met Marcello (sp) at the door, a very jovial and welcoming soul, and he took our name down. You could tell there was a good mix between locals and tourists waiting for tables. Within 20 minutes we were being seated inside the larger room which was very full and the tables were very close together, yet the vibe was like one big party. Great ambiance! Our server Antonio greeted us with a warm smile and could tell of German was limited. He spoke great English, and suggested some great wine choices. We ordered the Fondue they are know for and he brought out the huge pot with a large basket of pieced bread. Wine was good, Fondue was great, although they need to have a smaller size, as it was A LOT of cheese between the two of us. We also ordered the Gerkin pickles with pearl onions and the ROSTI which gave us a flavor of our own beloved hash browns we enjoy in the US. The evening was a fun, new experience and we even ordered dessert, which was an ice cream dish with crispy raspberry type fried balls. To say the least, we were stuffed as we left and used the window shopping in that area to walk off all that tasty fare. Highly recommend this establishment, and especially Antonio. Great restaurant for larger parties that can share the massive amount of fondue.

    Traditional fondue
    Dan M.

    So as we were preparing for our trip to Zurich, I started looking at some of the cuisines I wanted to make sure we enjoyed. On this list was definitely Fondue because we are in Zurich after all. I asked the hotel to make a reservation and we made our way over for our 18:00 reservation where we were promptly greeted. I will say the service was absolutely great and our server was friendly, humorous, and very helpful throughout the meal. The décor was nice and "homey" inside and it was a very cozy setting. We ordered a bottle of vino (really solid) which was priced very reasonably. After a glance through the menu, we decided to get the sliced veal "Zurich style" and the traditional cheese fondue (serving for one person) including the pickles and the potatoes on the side. The wine was out very quickly and then a basket of bread (broken into pieces) provided for the fondue. As a quick side note, it seems they do offer re-fills for bread as we were offered but declined when we had wrapped up the fondue part. The fondue itself was delicious and not as "heavy" as I thought it would be. The cheese was great and the texture was perfect for dipping the potatoes and bread. The cheese felt like a very deep complexity and blend which was great. The veal was also great. Very tender and the sauce (gravy?) was complimentary to the meat. This was a really solid meal in Old Town Zurich. I am glad we gave it a shot and definitely would recommend for folks looking for that fondue experience.

    Dried meat plate
    Ronald W.

    Place to go for traditional fondue doesn't disappoint. Healthy portions and definitely tasty. Combo with dried meat plate and fruit salad came out to $73.91 after tax and tip including an annoying 4 CHF charge for tap water.

    Dipping bread in the house fondue
    Adam B.

    Deceptively large restaurant compared to the quaint entrance on a cobblestone side street. A big focus on fondue, which seems to attract a large tourist crowd. Although the fondue is really tasty, try to sample some of the Vaudois dishes since they're quite unique for the Eastern part of Switzerland. Malakoff Vaudois Sur Salade (Cheese Dough Sticks with Salad): Having read about malakoff as an interesting food to try in Switzerland, I was determined to find some in Zurich. Thankfully this place offers quite a few Vaudois specialties, which are otherwise hard to come by in this part of Switzerland. Saying it's like a mozzarella stick doesn't really do it justice since the cheese is so much more complex. Very intense actually, so worked perfectly against the semi-bitter greens and tart salad dressing. Also, batter around the cheese is more bread-like almost like it's a pão de queijo on the outside. Quite memorable and delicious! Notre Fondue au Fromage (Cheese Fondue): Yes, fondue is a must at least once during your visit to Switzerland. Even if it's not winter, a big pot of melted cheese will taste delicious on a summer evening too. And extremely filling! Didn't order any thing extra to dip, just stuck with the default bread cubes and it was fine. Really got appreciate the complex blend of cheeses which have so much more personality than fondue found in the U.S.

    House fondue, bread, pickles, and meat plate.
    Anna V.

    Exceptional experience and exceptional fondue. Cannot wait to come back next time I am in Zürich! We stopped by for dinner on a Friday evening and were seated immediately. Our waiter was fast and so helpful. We told him we would love a recommendation on the best fondue options, and he suggested allowing him to pick! He suggested their house fondue cheese, a meat plate, a bowl of pickled vegetables, potatoes, and their house white wine. We agreed to it all and it was DIVINE!

    Gustavo S.

    It's a gem. Big place nestled in a quiet alley, but make sure you have reservations because they're very popular. Went there twice in a row and both times were packed but they are not extremely touristy despite the location. It totally makes sense because their food is THAT good. They're serving serving traditional Swiss dishes like fondue & herb sausages (which are amazing). The place is charming and the staff is very cheerful. Their fondue is very good and not as "heavy", you can see there's a complex depth of flavors working their magic. The veal pieces are cooked to perfection and the mushroom sauce is to die for, so I mopped the plate with the amazing bread they serve. It's not the cheapest meal you'll have but I think the price is pretty reasonable.

    Cheese Fondue & Veal w/ Rosti

    The classic cheese fondue was excellent.Do not miss the Veal w/ Rosti is the quintessential Swiss meal that surely will have you keep coming back.

    This was our first Swiss fondue experience and it was truly amazing! We got the truffle cheese fondue which was delicious. The service is great and our waiter was super nice. Would definitely recommend!

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.

Unless you don't mind eating outside in the dark with all the smokers. Second....expect to wait a long time. This isn't a fast food restaurant so grab a beer and wait 45/60 min to get your food. Third... Switzerland is very expensive so this restaurant is no different. 2 burgers, 2 alcoholic drinks, and French fries were 98CHF which is pretty much 100 bucks. They have 3 sauces for you to try. Ketchup- Tasted like marinara sauce. BBQ- Tasted like smokey ketchup. 1000 island. Tasted normal. Burgers were great. They were juicy and delicious. Animal Style French Fries were a good try. Def not like the original but so far from home it was a nice find. This restaurant isn't for Americans. Way too expensive for what we eat all the time but I compare this place to the Melting Pot in the US. That place is so overpriced but it's amazing to get your cheese fondue fix. I can't imagine Swiss people coming to the US and eating at our expensive version of cheese fondue. Service was ok. It was super busy so can't really complain but I could tell our waiter was super annoyed with our audacity of showing up , with no reservation, and willingness to wait. And for some dumb reason you can't order "The Threesome" (or Hattrick) with a group of 5 people. 4 apparently is ok but we had 5. Cannot imagine why if 3 people order the same thing it's an inconvenience for the restaurant but DON'T DO IT or again your waiter will show his annoyance.

As it was our first time eating raclette, we asked our server to walk us through the menu. Lily was exceedingly helpful in explaining the differences in cheeses and their flavors, and she was also very attentive and checked in on us throughout the meal. I noticed that her welcoming demeanor was also shared by her colleagues who were waiting on the other tables around us. My family took Lily up on her recommendations, and we ordering one Klara and one Willi, each with a side of sausages, as well as one original tarte flambé and one vegi tarte flambée. The food was all very delicious!! My personal highlights from the meal were the sausage dipped in the Willi cheese along with the onions and potatoes that were served with the dish. The tartes also had very thin, yummy crusts topped with raclette cheese. The side of pickles provided a tangy contrast to the rest of the meal which I liked. We ended our meal with a warm chocolate cake and lemon sorbet. I'm not really one for alcohol, so I found the vodka in the sorbet to be a bit too strong for me. However, the chocolate cake with the jam and vanilla ice cream was very good and had just the right amount of chewiness. I wish that I could replace my local Cheesecake Factory with a Raclette Factory instead so that I could enjoy Swiss cheese melted over bread, sausages, and potatoes all the time. Oh well, perhaps it's just another excuse to visit Switzerland again one day :)
