It’s our tradition visits every winter. The cheese was the highlight as always. My duck main course was quite chewy but otherwise were all good

Swiss Chesa in Peninsula

I like the room is playing relaxing swiss rural songs having fun elements, like you are playing in big green land, but the dark-wooded environment pull you back to the reality like you are in a small swiss cottage haa, in chesa you feel like you are in Switzerland right now, except many ppl speaking Cantonese around haaa Little info inserted, the name “chesa” means “inn” in the Swiss Romansch dialect, indeed chesa is a small inn in peninsula haa

The furniture already having fifty and more years of history and delivered directly from Switzerland, but you can see chesa is pretty new even with time of history, and you may not know chesa opened since 1965, more than a half century cool cool swiss restaurant haa

Quote from chief chef Trento: "If you go to Switzerland, I'd say most households
have a fondue set at home.”

After ordered dishes, they serving you with three types of breads, honestly they are pretty thick and hard to tease into a small piece, the texture not chewy at all not the one i usually like even i’m big fan of breads, seem a bit disappointing. there’re classic and cheese butters for the bread, i like cheese flavor more with stronger milk taste

For hot appetizer, we ordered the popular dish crab meat pancake with lobster armagnac cappuccino, i like the soft texture of the whole pancake, you don’t even have to chew for savoring it, full of crab meats insides haa, pretty smooth and silky, really good texture but the flavor seems a bit dull cause all you can taste is the crab flavor, would be even surprised if having more complex flavor

Come to Swiss restaurant, having cheese fondue is a must haa, the ingredients of Fondue Montagnarde includes Emmental, Appenzeller and Gruyère finished with Parmesan and smoked mountain bacon, served with macaroni and boiled potatoes, the cheese fondue is made of three different swiss cheese, Appenzeller cheese is a hard cow's-milk cheese produced in the Appenzellerland region of northeast Switzerland, i found the fondue not having too complex flavor even having three different cheese inside, and the cheese isn’t too strong, still enjoyable dipping the breads insides the fondue and the most matching partner with the fondue, macaroni and potatoes are not too sticky with the cheese sadly, overall the cheese fondue is just okay for me, not that outstanding as i thought, flavor isn’t strong enough and can’t really taste the bacon sadly

Pork cordon bleu with French fries and mustard sauce is pretty disappointing honestly, maybe i have a really good one in my first time trying this dish in Junon, honestly this one can’t even compete…two slices of pork hams insides, the flavoring is just okay, pretty juicy when we cut it, the most signature of this dish is the cheese inside the pork cordon though can’t really feel the cheese yes i can see but the taste isn’t presented very well, and the flavoring is simply dull, not sure is it because we just finished the cheese fondue…lol

Actually quite full after trying the first three dishes, but we wanna have some sweets tonight and ordered Chalet Swisse, Swiss chocolate chalet with vanilla ice cream and hot chocolate sauce, this is very popular one, this little chalet indeed so small lol, still good sharing for two ppl, after opening this chalet, on top you can taste some whipping cream, gradually you can eat ice cream til the end, some biscuits insides too, good the chocolate not too sweet here, interesting you can pour the chocolate sauce yourself haa, such a fun one

Last they will serve you with three sweets, one ginger bread, chocolate and macaron, such a lovely ending for tonight haaa

Before going to visit Chesa, having pretty high expectation on the food, but got a bit disappointed, cause i can’t find any one dish is outstanding at all, all dishes simply in average standard, and the taste isn’t yummy as such which i wanna try again, but for the environment, indeed like this dark wooded chesa haaa, maybe coming for the feeling but not the food

As a Swiss I can tell what’s a fondue, and this is ultra hot! The best fondue by far, in Hong Kong ! And the deco it’s like to be home! Have fun!

Joined Swiss National Day wine dinner today. Impressed again by the meticulous service led by the manager Martin and team. Reminded me the good old days of Hong Kong that everyone started to miss for a while. Simple food yet at top notch quality that we dun commonly see in HK nowadays. Should go if u haven’t tried yet. I have booked the next wine dinner already with no question asked.

Excellent Swiss restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel. Very nice interiors that remind of the mountain valleys in the Grison region of Switzerland. The food is great, especially the desserts. Maybe a tad bit less traditional in the sense that it may mix styles also with French or other fine European cuisines, but not unlike what can in fact be found in nice restaurants in Switzerland. If you want an even more authentic / down-to-earth experience, definitely also try The Swiss Chalet on Hart Avenue in TST, but as Swiss people living in Hong Kong, we are privileged to be able to choose from two Swiss restaurants whenever we get homesick.
