Cuisine of Saas-Fee for gourmets. Places for dinner - best restaurants

Many different restaurants operate in Saas-Fee due to the constant influx of tourists. There are also small canteens at family hotels, spacious halls at all-inclusive hotels, cozy country-style establishments, and even a couple of expensive places with their unspoken dress code. In general, the set of dishes is almost the same everywhere. Therefore, you should choose the place that you prefer. However, you should visit the Allalin revolving restaurant at least once. It is located at an altitude of three and a half kilometers. This is a local landmark. The owners of the restaurant claim that the whole of Switzerland is visible at lunch from the window on a clear day.

If you want to taste the dishes that form the basis of local cuisine you should start with fondue, of course. It is believed that the dish itself appeared in the cuisine of local peasants several centuries ago. Sometimes they had to live on stale bread and cheese. Today fondue is not even a dish but a way of cooking. Most often, bread is the main ingredient. It is dipped in a special melted cheese mixed with wine and garlic. This dish is washed down with schnapps or tea. Sometimes pieces of meat or fish are used instead of bread. Chocolate can be used instead of cheese. Saas-Fee chefs prepare dishes that are similar in name but differ in cooking technology. For example, not chicken pieces in melted cheese but chicken fillet stewed in cream sauce are hidden under the name "chicken fondue". Rustic fondue is meat fried with potatoes and poured on top of melted cheese. Burgundy fondue includes boiled meat with cheese and spices. There are blueberry and even ice cream fondue in addition to cheese and chocolate fondue.

However, the locals do not only eat cheese by itself or in the form of fondue. But they also use it to make dishes like Raclette. This is a dish of boiled potatoes, sometimes in the skin. It is prepared with melted cheese and pickled cucumbers. Fried eggs in a water bath with cheese and meat in Swiss-style are interesting. Cheese is used in large quantities in its preparation. You can order Rösti as a quick snack. This is a flatbread made from grated potatoes, much like pancakes. It is liberally sprinkled with cheese. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

Cheese is also added to the first courses. For example, Swiss cheese soup with fried crackers is prepared with the addition of cheese. However, if you are indifferent to cheese, you will find the soup that you like. For example, you can order minestrone vegetable soup. It's a good choice for a vegetarian lunch. You can also taste the barley soup from Graubünden. Basel flour soup is very original. Local chefs prepare it. If you like meat soups, you should pay attention to Busekko with giblets. Chicken soups and fish chowders are also prepared in Saas-Fee.

The choice of second dishes is great in the town. You should taste Geschnetzeltes. These are small, rather narrow strips of veal that are served with mushrooms, herbs, and sauce. Bernese-platter is delicious. This is roast pork with beans or sauerkraut. If you like beef you should pay attention to Bindenfleisch. This is dried meat with salted onions. There is a very large selection of all kinds of sausages in local restaurants. These are spicy sausages with sauce and spices, fried pork sausages bratwurst and leberwurst, a smoked sausage made from liver and fat, sausages stuffed with cheese, and much more. You can also order schnitzel.

If you want a quick snack, you can order puff pastry waffles with meat or vegetables. If you like sweets, you should start exploring Swiss desserts with chocolate, of course. The locals love it so much that each of them eats about 12 kilograms annually. Swiss chocolate is of high quality, with a wide variety of flavors and forms of execution. But Saas-Fee desserts are not limited to chocolate. For example, leckerli is served here. These are small and very tasty honey cakes. Gingerbread cakes based on the Basel recipe are also baked in the town.

Sweet cakes called kuhli and brunsli are very tasty. You should also taste chocolate chip cookies with almonds. Do you want sweets for a large company? You should order the Zuger Kirschtorte. This is a layer cake with a sweet filling. You can start the day with muesli. This dish was invented in Switzerland. It is sold with various additives like nuts, apples or raisins today. You can wash down all these sweets with coffee with milk, a favorite among the townspeople, or tea with Alpine herbs. You should also pay attention to local wines. They are of good quality. However, they are not exported outside the country. Schnapps, cider, and vodka infused with pears, apricots, or plums are also interesting.
