About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
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!

    My wife and I recently dined here, hoping for a memorable meal to justify the $140 price tag for two. We really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, the food fell far short of expectations, though the experience was redeemed somewhat by the exceptional service. The staff was a highlight—friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm, making us feel welcomed from start to finish. Sadly, that’s where the positives end. The food was a letdown across the board. We started with a pretzel that was hard as a rock. The fondue, which we’d been excited to try, was bland and tasteless, like a key ingredient had been forgotten. It left us puzzled rather than satisfied. The bread and meats were equally uninspired, lacking any distinct flavor or texture to make them enjoyable. The schnitzel, which should’ve been a standout, was the biggest disappointment While the service was top-notch, it couldn’t make up for the subpar meal. We left feeling frustrated and overcharged

    We ordered the tasting menu. It was delicious and a fantastic value. We also added the escargot as a starter. Our servers recommendations for wines and beers were perfect. We plan on returning!

    Was one of the best dinners my bf & I have been to in awhile. Ordered escargot, fondue, trout & a chocolate dessert. The escargot was some of the best we’ve had and came paired with delicious bread. The fondue was somewhat small but perfectly sized for 2 & I wondered if I even needed an entree. Trout was insane. Cooked so well & the server provided great service too. Thank you so much!

    This is a unique setting and pleasant, cozy and can get loud, but the service is great and the food is fantastic. We were able to talk to our guests without having to repeat too often. All of the food was beautifully served and tasted fabulous. The fondue was exquisite, the venison very special and nice, reminded me of a small cozy restaurant I ate at in Geneva. The server was very helpful and helped us pick the perfect wine. The cocktails were wonderful and the alcohol free drink one of us ordered had a nice flavor.
