Vieux Chalet Swiss Restaurant
Additional Information
Opened by the late Tony Hassig, a Swiss expat, Vieux Chalet has been around since the 1980s, but it remains a favorite of locals and visitors alike. An oft-repeated tale is that Hassig was encouraged to open his own restaurant after people would drop by his home just to try his yummy meals. While he has passed away, the place remains thanks to the efforts of his daughter Florence.
It’s an intimate eatery that offers sweeping views of Manila and delicious food. A few menu standouts include Raclette Festival (PHP1,500/ US$28.41)), a smorgasbord of cheeses, shrimp , and veggies; Lamb Shoulder in Red Wine Sauce (PHP1,243/US$23.53); and their dessert trio of ice cream and fruits (PHP900/US$17.04).
