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!

    We selected the yeasted rolls, the jagerschnitzel, and the kasespatzle. All three were truly excellent. Service was warm and friendly, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. We can't wait to return.

    We highly recommend the Tour des Alpes! Everything was delicious and plentiful. The mulled wine was superb and the service impeccable. Mmm, chef’s kiss!

    It was a truly delightful dining experience. The food was great but what really made it a memorable experience that I want to share with colleagues, family and friends was the outstanding bartender, Mark. He was so engaged with us and enthusiastic about the menu and drinks. It was the perfect date night. Thank you Mark and Alpenrauche!

    Food was just alright, but pricing was atrocious given the serving sizes and quality. $18 appetizers that were nothing special, spendy beer, and a very disappointing fondue. Automatic 20% gratuity and 3% wellness pushed things over and will not be back. Staff were great!! Nothing on them, they just need to find better management to make better choices.

    All the dishes were unique & delicious. We shared several of the starters & they were all so good. Especially loved the chocolate mousse dessert. Cant wait to go back & try other things!
