For ambiguous reasons yet unknown, we ended up in a Swiss mountain chalet. Thick wooden logs, snow lined window frames and a menu oozing with hearty Swiss fare. Fun fact. We are in Ubud. The cultural capital of the mystical Island of Bali, Indonesia. An island known for intricate woodwork, spicy and zingy cuisine and year round tropical temperatures. Therefore, the very nature of this mountain hut felt a little out of place, knowing that behind the snow stained window frames lies a lush green world of tropical bounty. Look here. There was NOTHING wrong with the joint. Spotlessly clean, well trained friendly staff and the food was perfectly cooked for what it was. It’s just that what it was was….. traditional Swiss? Restrained, little imaginative and quite frankly mundane. So we order the beef fondue. Which boiled down to a steaming pot of fairly straight forward broth and a couple of plates of perfectly fresh beef. And back in Switzerland, this might be a treat. But we are in Asia: This is hotpot country. Whereas the Chinese fondue entails exciting and spicy broth served with a range of thinly sliced prime cuts and delicate parts of the animal, plant and fungi kingdom that made the swiss fondue ever so bland and boring in comparison. The notion arose. Just because you can bring Switzerland to Ubud. Doesn’t mean you should. (Btw. My Dutch boyfriend hacked my phone and wrote this as he didnt carry his own. I take no responsibilty his well intended but brutally honest critique. )

Amazing brunch! From appetizers to the desert!

Pleasantly surprised tonight by the the place, the food, the service. We will go back, for sure.

Loved it !

Had a very nice dinner experience here. Apart from the bamboo roof it's really like stepping into an a house in the Alps. We enjoyed the raclette with some amazing cold cuts.

Sehr authentisch schweizerische Atmosphäre. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Guter Service, mega leckeres Essen. Wir können das Restaurant nur empfehlen!

The meal was a unique experience - both burger and fresh juice :) So delicious! It was a great pleasure - thank you to the stuff!
