" What a delightful experience at Alpenrausch! The rustic decor instantly transported us to the Swiss Alps, and the atmosphere was just perfect for a cozy dinner. We indulged in their signature fondue, which was rich and creamy, exactly what we were hoping for! Our server was knowledgeable and helpful, recommending some fantastic local wines to pair with our meal. Although the portions were generous, we hardly had room for dessert, but we squeezed in the panna cotta, and it was to die for! Looking forward to our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Alpenrausch was mixed at best. I was excited to try their kasespatzle as I heard great hype about it, but it didn't resonate with me as much as I had hoped. Additionally, I found the prices somewhat high for what we received. On the positive side, the service was decent and our server was knowledgeable about the menu. The ambiance gave off a lovely, friendly vibe, but I'll likely stick to my regular spots for that authentic Swiss experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a memorable dinner at Alpenrausch last week. The outdoor seating was delightful, and they even had heaters for our comfort. Their schnitzel was expertly prepared, crispy and golden brown – just what I hoped for! The only downside was the wait time for our dishes; we had to be patient. Once our food arrived, it was worth it, but I do hope they can work on their pacing. The service team was friendly, and they made recommendations I truly appreciated. I'm definitely coming back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" The fondue night at Alpenrausch was nothing short of spectacular! A great group dining atmosphere that lent itself to sharing and conversation. The cheese was divine, creamy and melted perfectly with the assortment of dippers. Our server was attentive and enthusiastic, enhancing the experience! My only critique would be the dessert – while I was hoping for something truly amazing, it was just okay. Nonetheless, the rest of the meal overshadowed this, and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a find! Alpenrausch serves some of the most authentic European cuisine I have had in Portland! The spaetzle was perfectly cooked and went beautifully with my venison dish. Our server was friendly and attentive, although they seemed slightly overwhelmed with a large party in the restaurant. Regardless, the vibe was vibrant, and everything came together for a memorable dinner. The one thing they could improve on is their dessert selections, which felt lacking. Still, I left with a full and happy stomach! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're looking for an authentic alpine dining experience, Alpenrausch should be on your list! The cozy atmosphere made us feel right at home, and I thoroughly enjoyed the raclette service. Watching the cheese melt beautifully was a treat, and the pairing options were well thought out. Honestly, the only downside was that they had a limited dessert menu. I feel like that's something they can definitely improve on. Overall, a delightful experience; I would recommend this spot for cozy gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an exquisite dining experience! The fondue was, without a doubt, the best I've had on this side of the Atlantic. Perfectly melted with delightful variety for dipping. The staff was incredibly friendly and eager to provide a great service. We also tried the venison – such rich flavor! The atmosphere contributed to a cozy vibe; you can tell they carefully crafted it to reflect alpine aesthetics. I left feeling so satisfied. Alpenrausch is definitely worth frequent visits!
