Hotel Des Alpes

The Hotel Des Alpes has a long history and dining is accompanied with a sense of history and tradition. We sat outside, on the terrace along the river Reuss. 

This is my first trip to Switzerland and I wanted to try traditional/authentic Swiss dishes....Veal Zurich style and butterfried lake fish fillet.

Fish Soup

I had fish soup for starter. The warm fish soup was very tasty and great for the soul as the evening was rather chilly.

Veal Zurich Style

Main course was Veal Zurich style (sliced veal with mushrooms in a cream sauce, and buttered noodles). Vivian and I decided to share the main course to make room for ice cream. The cream sauce mushroom and veal was tasty. The buttered noodle looked like Shanghai noodle.

Butterfried Lake Fish Fillets

Salman ordered Butterfried lake fish fillets (butterfried lake fish fillets with almonds, boiled potatoes and leaf spinach). Apparently the fish was from River Reuss. I also noticed that Salman likes eating fish.


After dinner, we had rum and raisin ice cream as dessert. While we complaint about the cold, we still could not resist the ice cream :) There was rum in the ice cream unlike the ones we get back home.


I also had a glass of local beer, Eichhof Braugold beer. Enjoyed the view towards the Alps and the wooden bridge while eating our dinner.
