    Cheese Fondue
    Jeff David G.

    WARNING! Do yourself a favor and at least read some of these reviews so you know what you're getting into. We walked into a warm, lodgey-feeling environment a few minutes ahead of our reservation and were seated quickly. After a long while, the waitress poorly explained the menu and we ordered what we had concluded was an appropriate amount of food for the table. It took about an hour for the food to come out. A long time for any restaurant, but even more so here because all of the meat comes out raw! It is then a slow process to cook all of the proteins at the table and you can really only do a few bites at a time. I have to admit, most of the food was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken, beef, and shrimp. Scallops are a tough sell in this setting and the cheese fondue was mediocre at best, despite the whole party loving cheese. It is also drastically overpriced. For a minuscule portion that takes forever to come out and still has to be cooked, I wouldn't pay anywhere close to what they charge at The Swiss Haven. A fun experience to try once, but do not go in with expectations of a meal that will justify the financial damages.

    Everything was great. Delicious food. Thanks Claudio and our server for making this such a great experience.

    Awesome fondue!

    A perfect dining experience-haven't had fondue in years but decided we needed something unique in Breckenridge-amazing fresh food-our waitress Abby was great at explaining all our options-great service-definitely recommend!

    The Bruschetta is covered in cheese. Go figure!

    Ivan gets five stars. He brings all the stars to this place. No, that's not fair, the restaurant deserves five stars on its own ... but Ivan brings an extra five just in case. But who is Ivan? Our server. Not only did he do a great job with us, but he had to deal with perhaps the most annoying human being I have ever had the misfortune of sitting next to at a restaurant who complained about EVERYTHING and even sent his apple strudel back because it was cold and should have ben served hot. How do I know? He wouldn't stop complaining about it. His incohate arrogance met poised equanimity as Ivan fielded all the poisoned barbs with grace. Not only did he deliver the warm apple strudel - he verified first that the couple had the time in their schedule for the kitchen to do a re-do. Conscientious. Yes, Ivan. You are the hero we didn't deserve. So let's see here. Making reservations was a bit tricky because we were dining during "hell week" - the week between Christmas and New Year's. I was able to put our name on a wait list of sorts but they couldn't CONFIRM the reservation until after Thanksgiving. I did eventually get a call back with a confirmation ... but day-of, we got a call asking if we could move the schedule up a bit in exchange for a better table. Sure! Why not? We were flexible. So we flexed. And it worked out. We had a great table for the 12 of us and had 3 pots out on the table ... so, if you're quick at math, you've already realized that's 1 pot for 4 people, or ... 1 pot per table. Look at you go, math wiz. The options were ... extensive. If you struggle with making decisions, well, I hope you get Ivan. He gave us a quick run-down of some of the choices we had, popular decisions & combinations, and provided some recommendations that were highly influential in getting us meals that we were happy with. We started off with a variety of salads and such which ... I think is definitely worth it. You're about to gorge yourself on bread, cheese, and meat. Starting with some greens is ... well, it just feels like it balances things out a bit, y'know? We ended up getting a 2x order of cheese fondue per table with accompaniments. Apples, pears, some medium rare filet, rösti, spätzle, cornicons ... the selections varied by table. But wow did this take me back. I lived in Europe 7+ years growing up, 4.5 of which were in Switzerland. Let me tell you - get the kirchwasser mixed in with the Fondue. It adds exactly the right je ne sais quoi (actually I sais exactly quoi ... it's kirchwasser) to make the fondue extra delicious. Did we have room for dessert? No. But was the meal at least a bargain? Also no. Look, you're at a fondue restaurant in Breck. You're going to be spending some money. For our table of twelve though, it was well worth the food and the experience. I can't wait to go back.

    I can't tell if I'm just annoyed we spent money here or that I'm mad that someone in our group really wanted to come here so we went. I kinda thought this place was a big waste of money. The workers were very nice and explained the menu well. I just think maybe I hate the concept of fondue. I thought this place was ridiculously overpriced. The atmosphere is nice with cute decorations. I thought the food was very average for what we paid for. The French onion soup was definitely the highlight of my visit. The cheese was good and the spices they used were great. It was $16. The fondue itself was so average for $42. The bread was awful. It was just plain bread. I definitely think a baguette would be better. The sides were overpriced. $7 for an apple. So average. We paid way too much and we did not even get meat. Overall I would never have chosen to dine here and I will never return.

    It is heaven because it's cheese and carbs and chocolate. The staff was absolutely fantastic! -Henry age 8

    Sweet greedy goblins, this place was absolutely fantastic! We arrived a week before ski season, so the entire place was essentially empty, but that did not stop the staff from treating us all real well. We started with their signature cheese fondu, and chased it with some beef tips. For that, I must say, was one hell of an experience. Even after we were done with the cheese, they scrapped the bottom and gave us the bits to crunch on as well, and that was probably the most flavorful part of the cheese. Amazing stuff all around!

    Cheese fondue. Expensive for basic food but it hit the spot. I can do this at home for much cheaper but while I'm breckenridge I guess :p
    Grace L.

    I'm sad there isn't a melting pot here but this place is decent. Cheese is done right. However, very expensive for what you get (16$ for a French onion soup and 7$ for a cut up apple, the cheese fondue comes with dry tasteless bread you will probably not eat) but it fulfilled my fondue craving! The staff are very nice and it was a fun atmosphere.

    I came here for dinner with my family. I started with the comforting and delicious french onion soup. We shared a cheese fondue, which I highly recommend with apples, and a meat fondue. My favorite part was the dessert: decadent milk chocolate fondue with strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and brownies. The main con to this place is that the portions are small and the prices are high.

    Cheese fondue!!! The Peak 8 was perfectly blended

    Swiss Haven has been on my Breckenridge bucket-list for a few years now. We'd pass it while walking Main Street each ski season, and I would always smell the warm chocolate and inviting fondue... ah, someday. Well, lucky me- someday has arrived. In the midst of our 2020 pandemic, Swiss Haven did not disappoint! We came for my birthday- just after Thanksgiving weekend- and to my pleasant surprise, they had a covered outdoor patio. I had initially called in early November to make reservations; after Summit County restricted all indoor dining, I called back to confirm my reservation (or see if we could do take-out). Their owner left me a super kind voicemail- informing me of their heated back patio, and offered the option of borrowing their fondue supplies for an at-home experience if I preferred take-out. (Totally unexpected for them to offer us to borrow equipment- now that is dedication and trust!) We ended up eating in-person on the patio, and man- definitely a birthday dinner to remember. We got the Peak 8- a mid-blend of cheese fondue. Sooooo tasty! In lieu of a separate protein course, we ordered steak tips for the cheese fondue and were surprised at how well the steak was cooked (mmm, see my pics and let your mouth water). Before finishing our cheese, the servers came to scrape off the hardened sides of the pot to enjoy the crispy cheese bits. Yummy!!! Finally, we closed the evening with chocolate fondue (of course, right?) Definitely did not disappoint! I loved the strawberries! Most notable- the staff was very attentive, coming several times to reignite our fondue fire (go figure, outdoor patio equals wind blowing out the flame), never let our glasses run empty, and provided great suggestions. Highly recommend!

    Swiss in the name of the restaurant implies an Alps experience. I used to visit Chamonix, Les Trois Vallées, Val d'Isère, and know what the authentic Alpine atmosphere is like there. I felt the same here--Claudio, the owner, came to make sure our experience was as it is in Europe. Fondue and crème brûlée were genuine. But the biggest surprise was--I asked if they had Génépi, and Claudio opened a bottle of this French liqueur that he kept for such occasions. Thanks for the great evening.

    Beef Platter and cheese fondue.  Delicious!
    Susan R.

    We enjoyed fondue dinner for four of us. We ordered two cheese fondues for the table, one with Kirschwasser and one without. Both were delicious and came with plenty of bread for dipping, the bread was fresh. We shared two salads, they were smaller than we expected but we enjoyed them. We shared one plate of beef and two pots of chocolate. The food was great, the server was attentive and the interior was cozy and interesting. We would definitely eat here again. The only drawback was that the salad and chocolate portions were small for the price but we ordered the right amount

Highway robbery and downright deceiving branding. The menu doesn't display prices, but two chicken sandwiches and a gatorade cost $51.30. They also present outrageous suggested tip amounts 18%-20%-22% for food that isn't made to order and cashier provided no indication whether there is or isn't an Epic discount. I ordered two different sandwiches which were supposed to be gourmet based on the menu. They were just basic frozen fried chicken sandwiches with simple and puny garnishes. You couldn't tell the difference between them if you were blindfolded. How is it that Alf's at Alta (which is *not* located at a base area) charges $14.50 for their chicken sandwich but here at a supposedly premier resort located a hell of a lot closer to the supply chain I'm paying a 50% premium at a takeout window? As we exited the dining area literally every table around us was somewhere between mystified and enraged as soon as they unwrapped their mediocre chicken sandwiches. Really, a shameful money grab. Whatever corporate hack is responsible for this place should be demoted.

The place inside is small, but its still spacious enough that you're not crammed against the other tables. From the moment you're walking up to the place it calls your attention cause its located in the historic Gold Pan Saloon. And the decor inside follows that rustic saloon winery vibes with barrel decors and a crazy ceiling design. They have a great bar area for tastings or a glass of wine as well. I opted for the wine flight, which was great. It included 3 different types of red wines and they were each delicious. My fav was the cabernet franc. It was the best of the 3 for me. For food we went with the Red Rocker charcuterie board and it was great. They pick the 2 cheeses and 2 proteins, which are a rotating selection, along with pickled veggies and a spread with homemade wine tortilla chips. What I love about it is that you can tell the board is freshly made when it's ordered. I was also able to try a piece of the bruschetta with Poached Figs, Whipped Goat Cheese, Honey & Pine Nuts and it was to die for. If goat cheese is your thing, do not skip out on this one. The whipped cheese is crazy, Amazing texture and flavor. We stopped by a couple of days later for a glass of wine and it was packed but they were nice enough to let us stand on the side enjoying a glass till a seat opened up at the bar. I got a glass of their "house red" which is divine. Great body and perfectly balanced. And did I mention it's only $10?!? Totally worth it. Perfect place to relax and unwind.
