Cuisine of Davos for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

Davos Platz Today the Davos cuisine consists of hundreds of dishes, originating from the French, Italian and German culinary traditions. There are also dishes that came from England, the United States and Denmark, but their number is much smaller. However, today we can safely say that modern Swiss chefs have long considered their pride dishes borrowed from neighbors centuries ago. And there is every reason for this. Traditionally, local dishes are quite simple and very hearty. The most common products are cheese, butter, milk, eggs, vegetables, and meat.

Davos breakfast is quite light. Traditionally, the locals eat one or two sandwiches of bread and cheese and drink coffee with milk in the morning. Dinner is usually also quite modest. Dinner is boldly considered the main meal. Be sure to order fondue at local restaurants. Frankly, it's not really a dish, but a way of serving or a way of mixing ingredients. Fondue consists of a special dish in which melted cheese, wine, spices are mixed. Often potato flour is added to this mixture. A tray with pieces of meat, bread, potatoes or other vegetables, which are dipped into the mixture with a special long fork, is also served.
Often fondue involves dipping a piece not only in cheese but also in white wine or strong Kirsch. Fondue is usually ordered for everyone sitting at the table. So the portion will be rather big. However, if you see a dish containing the word “fondue” in the name – do not rush to order it. It will be better if you clarify its composition with the waiter. The fact is that dishes made with a completely different technology are often called fondue in local restaurants. However, the only thing that connects them with the classic dish is the addition of cheese, which is also not always present in the dish. For example, "chicken fondue" is an ordinary chicken in a creamy sauce, and fondue rustic – fried meat with potatoes under melted cheese with spices. Copyright www.orangesmile.com
