The menu

The kitchen cooks home-style Bavarian, Austrian and Swiss food: cheese fondue for two with Emmentaler and Gruyère, a Brotzeit sharing board, pork schnitzel with spätzle and lingonberries, veal goulash, truffle bratwurst and Swiss rösti with smoked salmon. For the table, the restaurant highlights its Walliser tomato fondue. Dessert means apple strudel and cakes from the pastry case, and the restaurant's list of Alpine sweets also runs to Marillenknödel, Dampfnudeln and Palatschinken.

Brunch, lunch and dinner

Brunch runs Friday to Sunday, with Weisswurst and pretzels, schnitzel on Belgian waffles and a boozy brunch list. Lunch is served until 5 p.m., when dinner begins, and the restaurant closes on Mondays. The bar pours German beers by the half-litre and litre, Alpine schnapps and wines from Austria, Germany and northern Italy.

The private gondola dinner

In winter, Alpenrose sets up private gondola dinners built around a raclette grill and fondue combination: food sizzles under the grill while a pot of beef broth waits for dipping. It is a cook-it-yourself evening for a family or small group, and it books separately from regular tables.

Sister restaurant

The same family runs Almresi Vail, the first restaurant it opened in Vail, before taking on Alpenrose. It suits anyone who wants the same Alpine hospitality in a different room.
