After a long day of skiing or dog sledding, who could ask for anything more on a cold winter’s night than an evening of fondue fun at The Swiss Haven Restaurant in Breckenridge, Colorado. This fine dining restaurant in Breckenridge is set in a beautiful and charming Swiss Alps atmosphere.
The Swiss Haven Restaurant recently took a turn up a fresh and welcomed path with new ownership. And what a turn it took. You will hear nothing but complimentary words about the changes that have been made. Since the European owner, Alfonso, took over, The Swiss Haven is rapidly becoming known for its authenticity and superior Swiss cuisine to make it one of the best places to eat in Breckenridge, Colorado. The restaurant has been redecorated and very impressive changes have been made in the menu, food quality and service. Some customers have said that this is best fondue they have had in America, and just like what they get in the Alps. That is quite a recommendation.
Adults, kids, couples and groups will all have a fantastic time dipping and twisting delicious bread, tender meat and refreshing fruits in pots of cheese or chocolate fondue sauce. Many guests add to their overall enjoyment and experience by ordering the popular Raclette. A small grill is placed on the table for guests to sear their bite-size pieces of beef, chicken, seafood, sausage, potatoes and cocktail onions. Then a special tool is used to melt slices of sharp Raclette cheese, which is poured over the tantalizing seared food. As you can see, you will not only enjoy the delicious food, but it’s so much fun!
A unique side dish at the Swiss Haven is the Rosti, delectable fried, crispy potato shreds. You really should pass on the rice, and try the this one. Or you might choose the Spatzli, the Alpine version of pasta or gnocchi. This squiggle shaped dough is boiled and then gently pan-fried. The Swiss Haven’s buttered spatzli is some of the best.
And if by chance you’re not a big fan of fondue, The Swiss Haven also offers quite a few Swiss and German entree selections that are just as tempting. All dishes are made with the highest quality and freshest ingredients available.
