Swiss Chalet Restaurant, Seoul
Address: 104-4, Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu,
Seoul, Korea
Phone: 02) 797-9664 or 02) 796-6379 Swiss Chalet Restaurant has an old world charm. It replicates perfectly the ambience of a cozy chalet that one would typically find in the Alps. The restaurant has wood-beamed ceilings and bric-a-brac accents that lend an antique touch to the restaurant. Swiss Chalet has been around since the 80's and was recently renovated. However, not much has changed. The menu is varied but the best thing to eat here is the cheese fondue. There are two types of cheese available, the traditional blend and the chef's blend. Both are good, but you can't compare to the cheese fondue you would typically get in Europe. Instead of the hearty apellenzer, compte and gruyere blend, the fondue seems to consist mostly of bland Emmental mixed with a touch of oil. Most Koreans, who are new to fondue or only have it once in a while, find the fondue to be to their liking. The fondue is decent enough despite its lack of authenticity and there are also other choices on the menu such as steak and pasta if you prefer something else. If you just came in from skiing in Yong Pyong and crave the atmosphere of a good restaurant in the Swiss Alps then this restaurant is worth a try. Take a city bus. Grab either a number 23, 78-3 or 81 from Sookmyung Women's University Station on subway line 4 to the Hamilton Hotel. Then walk about 350 feet towards the Grand Hyatt hotel. Swiss Chalet is located on the winding street from Itaewon to the Hyatt hotel.
