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!

    I don’t normally write reviews but my husband and I had such a great time. I remembered this place from about 16 years ago when my grandma took me when I was 12. I remembered enjoying the pizza a lot and figured my husband and I would enjoy that. We ended up getting the Spaghetti, Beef Cheek dish, Rosemary and Sage focaccia w/ olive oil, chocolate mousse, and lemon soufflé. We were embarrassed that we cleaned each plate, but it was worth it. I’m not even sure how to explain how good everything tasted, but every dish had something to it that made it incredible. Our server was super sweet, she checked in with us at appropriate times, was very polite and made thoughtful chit chat with my husband who’s very extroverted. We had a cute little table w/ a candle and small flowers, and it was comfortable. I recommend wholeheartedly.

    The staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had changed our reservation last minute to add 2 guests one top of the existing 4 plus a baby, and it worked out perfectly. All of our meals and were delicious. Most of us ordered the crab truffle bucatini and steak. Everyone shared with their partners so we all got to have a pasta and secondi. The burratta and bread starter is a must order. It was a perfect evening and I am so appreciative of the staff who were so kind and helpful.

    Excellent one off menu, beautifully prepared and paced with unobtrusive but attentive staff. Music was loud enough to enjoy but able to converse over, and kept other conversations from being noticeable. Every space had a pair of speakers so you were getting all of the music and not just one channel, and I really appreciate that as it's distracting to me. Everything about dining there is so well thought out. Looking forward to returning for hot pot sometime and visiting jeju as well.
