The same procedure as (almost) every year: Fondue-Chalet Klosters Hüschi @ Wienachtsdorf beim Bellevue (29. November 2025)
Is it something fun? Yes. Is it way too crowded? Also, yes! But once you’ve made it into the Fondue-Chalet at the Wienachtsdorf beim Bellevue, things relax a little. I mean, sure, it’s still too busy, and there are still too many people, but if you manage to ignore that, you can get a few “dried meats from the Grisons” (CHF 25.00) to get started. The portion is fine, but not overly generous, but okay to get started.
We then went for two different fondues. The “chili fondue (mountain cheese, Züri Oberländer and Gruyère, refined with home-made chili paste)” (CHF 33.50 per person; two people in the picture) plus the “Champagne Fondue” (CHF 38.00 per person) (not in the picture) with “potatoes” (CHF 8.00), “cornichons, spring onions, corn cobs” (CHF 7.50), “braised garlic” (CHF 5.50), and “bacon cubes” (CHF 9.00). And while all the additional things are lovely, I must say that they sure come at a price. I mean, CHF 9.00 for a little bit of bacon is – a rip-off. No matter how much you like bacon and how well it goes with fondue, it’s just way too much.
The staff is generally friendly and also, especially considering the size of the place, overall attentive. The one thing, which struck me a bit odd, was the fact that there was almost no waiter or waitress speaking German. Not that this is a must, but given you’re in Switzerland and there are still people who actually don’t speak English, I found it a bit surprising, to say the least. Other than that, it’s a nice experience with friends – once a year.

I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
