• Contemporary European • Southeast Portland

Named one of 20 Best New Restaurants in America for 2024 By Bon Appetit! In a distant European city, Fabian and Miriam vanished into the Alps, trading their city lives for mountain solitude. Once busy young professionals, their days were consumed by demanding careers, their rare weekends cherished for dining out and dancing, occasionally venturing into the mountains.But destiny intervened when Miriam inherited her grandfather's Alpine hut, nestled amidst the rustic charms of the mountains. They cut ties with the city, forsaking it for good. Days were spent farming, foraging, crafting cheese, and making wine. Nights brought cooking, baking, wine-drinking, and stargazing.Friends from the city visited, but Fabian and Miriam never looked back. They were drawn deeper into the mountains, caught in the Alpenrausch's dual meaning—the exhilaration of mountain air and the intoxication of good company, fine wine, and schnapps.Come experience Alpenrausch!

    As usual the food and service was outstanding. The dry aged steak tartar is becoming my favorite style of tartar; I hope it's permanently on the menu!

    As usual, we had come for the steak but when I found out there was a cassoulet special, I switched my order to that, knowing that they’d do an amazing job with cassoulet, using their duck confit, bacon and house made french-style sausage. I’ll probably be full for a day or two and so well worth it.
