Starting off the year with a cheesy blast, we set off to the Swiss Chalet in high spirits notwithstanding a rat sighting in the neighbourhood streets (yeah these can be shady streets haha) and the annoying traffic congestion and lack of parking space in TST. Lol - such optimism right?The Swiss Chalet has been around for many years, and while it does serve as a more economical alternative to its Peninsula hotel counterpart, I do think the Chalet has its own touch of orignality and rustic charm.

The Swiss Chalet has been around for many years, and while it does serve as a more economical alternative to its Peninsula hotel counterpart, I do think the Chalet has its own touch of orignality and rustic charm. It gets mentions on numerous magazines such as HK Tatler etc.
The restaurant was still dressed in the festivities, but apart from that it's a house - well obviously that's what a chalet is. But it's the rustic cottage kind of house, with earthy bricks, slightly worn leather sofa seats and just the right degree of subdued lighting. Invites imagination of the Swiss landscape once you brush aside the window curtains.
Food
It was the first day of 2015 and that was mighty cause for stuffing our faces! It was therefore an ambitious meal -
Appetizer 1
German White Asparagus - Plain with Tyrolienne Air-dried Ham
Appetizer 2
Deer carpaccio
Main 1
Cheese Fondue with white wine and chicken
Main 2
Swiss veal with cream sauce
Drink
Dry apple cider - yumm. Refreshes your palette given the heaviness of all the above.
Dessert
Chocolate (toblerone) fondue with fruits and cake (2 person portion)
All in all a good experience food-wise.
Service
So-so. We were seated in a small corner next to the door, and we were almost invisible to the waiters. Had to wave around and call in order to be noticed.
