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!

    The duck confit was extraordinary, and the smoked sturgeon equally tasty. The portions were ample for a gourmet French restaurant, which I appreciated. The cozy welcoming atmosphere and friendliness of the waitstaff allowed us to sit back and enjoy our time there.

    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.
