vieux chalet swiss restaurant

what we loved about vieux chalet was not just the food, but also the goodserviceand general feel of the restaurant. it's also the kind of place that has a story, which you can not only read about, but also look through cause of the number of photo albums available. the owners of the place definitely knew what they wanted people to feel when they put up their restaurant.

whats interesting about their menu is that it changes depending on the season. it also differs depending on the head chef, who is also one of the owners. and get this. it's all organic. of course it's pretty pricy as it is fine dining, but we'd love to come visit this restaurant again.

we ordered the creamy pesto and beef tenderloin.

the creamy pesto was really great. the pasta was hand pulled and the vegetables on the dish created a really good balance. the serving was big and enough to fill our bellies.

the beef tenderloin was also yummy, and surprisingly, one of the best things on that plate aside from the beef was the swiss butter. it was perfect on the dish. the fried potatoes under the beef was also something we enjoyed. it was slightly sweet and crispy.

this place is really a must try. check out our blog on instagram @thegreynomadblog and look us up on wordpress (link on our bio), if you wanna read more about our dining experience in vieux chalet.

so it was a labor day, my friend and i decided to go to antipolo. we decided to try this unassuming swiss restaurant, which was a little hard to find. since it was a very spontaneous trip, we didn't have any reservations. good thing the waiters were very accomodating. i'd give 5 stars for theservicealone!

we ordered the shrimp ravioli (just because sa spinach and cheese ravioli wasn't available), the fish fillet ala susana and a pizza with some ham (per request by the friend). i especially loved the shrimp ravioli, the tomato sauce was delish. the friend loved the fish, which i found more on the salty side. but i can get pass that.

the place is lovely and very romantic. good food, great service!

the place is very homey, clean, and super ig worthy when you are on the perfect spot. very accommodating greatservice😍 sarap ng food 🥰

sunday brunch in a swiss haven amidst the pandemic, giving you a chance to unwind and forget your worries.

when my fiancé and i arrived, we were warmly greeted by the staff. we were able to order our food quickly thanks to the accommodating servers. food arrived at the right intervals, just enough to enjoy the course at hand and not wait too long for the next. taste and portion were excellent! however, we encountered a minor problem with the roasted chicken as it was a tad bit undercooked. but the staff and manager present (joy i believe?) resolved this issue quickly and with composure. overall experience was still excellent and customerserviceis the best we’ve had. highly recommended.

the food is good and they really have a big serving. i recommend that it be for sharing. theservicewas good, the servers were nice and friendly. although one time we requested for chili flakes/paste, but they forgot so we had to ask for it again, good thing they were able to recover. the one thing that really stuck with me is their pacing. the kept sending out our orders to the table even though our table is already full with different meals and courses. because of the fast pacing they had we had to eat our appetizers with our main course. i suggest that to recover from this they need to check the tables and see if the customers are almost done with their meals or course. if they (customers) are almost done with their current meal that is when the servers inform the kitchen to start preparing the next course.

i was very excited to visit this place, i was thinking of the cheese fondue on our way although i fell asleep, nice welcoming ambience upon arrival and the hand sanitizer had a minty scent which add up to the pleasant vibe/home feels of the place, unlike most reviews i have read, they have great customerserviceand we had a reservation so we’re accomodated hassle free. we got the window table so we’re able to witness the sunset and the weather is quick to shift once the sun is gone so best to wear warm cloth. on the menu we got mon cherie(lovely for two) and added the cheese fondue because, cheese. you can look at the pictures for my food descriptions and reviews!

i’m not sure if it was just that time but everything was too salty - the fondue, the lamb, the chicken. the lamb and chicken were cooked well and fell off the bone but the sauce was too salty. because of this, i’m 50/50 on whether they were worth the price.

the ambience was cozy though it did not feel very intimate. theservicewas also top notch aside from that we requested for a window table upon reservation but was not given one when we arrived (and the waitress seemed a bit annoyed when we brought this up). other than that hiccup though, theservicewas awesome and the other waiters were friendly and accommodating; we got complimentary food since it was our anniversary.

overall, i’d still recommend to give this place a try.

good vibes all around for this place. all of us were pleased and would be happy to go back. the food was not only pleasing to the eyes but also delicious.servicewas superb.

your guys server needs customerservicetraining. his voice tends to be too loud as if he wants the entire room to hear our order. he also seems in a hurry while taking our orders. i also did not appreciate how he emphasizes that the salad bar was ordered per person and served buffet style and mentioned that he will just serve it to our table as if we intend to share it with everyone cause my dad was the only one who ordered it. to add, with the price of the food and how it tasted, it wasn’t very memorable. so-so taste. we ordered a lot and ended up taking out some of the left overs. funny, with how pricey their food is, they do not have a proper take out container. our left overs were placed in a plastic, “carinderia” style.

first time here with the fiancé. we had to use waze app to get here as they are located in the inner streets from the highway. you have to have a map but once you get there, it’s worth it. the view is amazing, overlooking the manila skyline sans the smog. hehe we made prior reservations just so we can secure a table by the window.

i wanted to celebrate my birthday and i chose vieux chalet and we were not disappointed.

when we arrived around 4:30pm, there was only another couple dining at that time. i wanted to come early so we can view the sunset while we eat our food.

the plaze is cozy and very intimate especially because we got the place to ourselves after the other couple left. theservicewas very good and the food? delish.

they attended to all our needs giving free bread and dip which was by the way, their own homemade dip.

we ordered the fettucine padilla pasta, pizza del casa and their pink salmon. i initially ordered their beef tenderloin but it wasn’t available so i opted for their salmon.

we were not at all disappointed because the serving was hefty and the veggies on their pizza was fresh! the salmon was cooked about just right and the sauce which was again home made was superb.

since it was my bday, the hostess told me not to order dessert as they have it on the house. it was sweet of them and they gave me swiss chocolate cupcake with ice cream on top. i loved every bit of it. thank you! i ordered cappucino instead.

we were so full after our meal we had to stay for another 30min before leaving just talking and enjoying the view. we’ll definitely come back again. :)

since they’re renovating,serviceis a little slower than usual but food is great. their former 5-cheese pizza is now 6 cheeses, and behold, there is a secret cheese! but what i really appreciated was their homemade fettucine padilla. it has different mushrooms in it. despite the white sauce, it wasn’t satiating at all. good for sharing (3 pax)
the thing that was special about their pizza though was, the crust was uniquely biscuitty and most cheese pizzas include blue cheese. this one was not one of those. the pizza is at php 1080 really pricey but maybe because, one their secret cheese is homemade and two, cheeses are expensive. they have two sizes but of course, the bigger one is more practical. will surely come back here even if it felt really inaccessible at first. on our way there, we had several road obstacles at is was a zigzag road. would want to try their osso buco and lamb shoulder. they have set meals that include soup, salad, an entree and a dessert. a bit pricey but i think if we were really hungry, it would be worth it.
another thing great is the view. i just hope on their renovation, they could have a balcony that is nearer to the view.

we could not eat fast enough to get away far far from this place.

we only came here because of a reservation mix up in another restaurant.

service - while the staff tries to be nice and helpful they don’t seem to know what they are doing. we had to ask several times for water. and when our swiss platter order came we asked for a butter spreader but we were given steak knife instead lol

food - overpriced and terrible you wished you stayed home and asked yo mama to cook for you instead. the 6 cheese pizza crust tasted like those store bought ones that had been siting in the freezer for too long. we also ordered a 1600 php sausage platter with 3 sausages that had some measly serving of veg sides. food were served in tiles btw. the kind that you use for your floor. at least the gnocchi tasted nice.

they don’t use the proper utensils and serving plates. i mean if they gonna charge so much foe their food at least get it right no? can’t say much for the decor too. at least they have a nice view. but even the view could not compensate for our terrible experience

had to wait more than 15 minutes foe the bill my family was already waiting in the car. they even told me they waived theservicecharge. still left my change and vowed never to return again.

the place to go for a weekend brunch! quaint little chalet with stunning skyline views and yummy food! and friendlyservicetoo.

we started off with a tinapa spread which was yummy and their refreshing basil calamansi and calamanturis soda coolers.

next came a delectable fried swiss cheese with freshly baked bread.

our mains were fettuccine florentine (vegetarian) and chicken a la tony. the florentine pasta had a lot of fresh garden veggies like broccoli, cauliflower with olives in an olive oil dressing. the second dish was a fine roasted organic whole chicken with sidings

our memorable meal ended with a lovely swiss chocolate cake a la mode topped with their homemade ice cream

hidden gem in antipolo. this place never fails to always brings me good and happy memories. must try ate their pizzas and pastas. theirserviceis also prompt and servers are polite. looking forward to come back again soon.

this restaurant have been buzzing since the 80s. first time i've been here was in the early 90s.

in terms of food; this should be the gold standard of antipolo. truly a class of its own. you cannot compare this establishment to any restaurant in the area. their menu is not your typical rizaleño restaurant. a little bit pricey but serving is ample.

if you fancy european cuisine, this is the place to be.
from cheeses, salads, platters, pasta dishes, steaks, pizzas and desserts, just a complete ensemble of goodness.

the ambience is simple, rustic and romantic. best for dating couples. the view of the city adds to the charm of this place. if you haven't been here, on the way to the resto, you'd think if there's really a restaurant down the road. coz it's really secluded and the road is quite dark at night. but again, all of those add to the appeal of the place.

you should try their salads. all of their salads are good. btw, the mango shrimp cocktail is awesome. go ahead, try it!

for starters, my personal choice is their paté de foie. if you want a more sinful starter, you may go and indulge on their swiss platter that has smoked bacon, smoked ham, pink salmon, ricotta, paté, etc.

as for the soup, i always go for the soup of the day. can't go wrong with that.

pizzas are good as well. my favorite is the five cheese grilled pizza. a combination of raclette, gruyere, cheddar and to give it a twist of filipino flavor, kesong puti.

if you wanna try their fondue, i recommend the cheese fondue. again, it's cheese. can't get any better that.

in the pasta department, i highly recommend their shrimp ravioli and fetuccine alfredo.

for the main course, my #1 choice would be the osso buco and a close 2nd is their lamb shoulder with red wine sauce. if you want seafood, try their pink salmon. over time, i have tried all they offer as main course. it's all good. don't forget that sauerkraut. you gotta have those too.

for dessert, you might wanna try their swiss chocolate cake a la mode. if you have a sweet tooth, swiss chocolate fondue might be for you.

in general, food is good andserviceis pretty much up there. especially if you are to compare it with other restaurants in antipolo. i just wish they had a better wine selection that can be paired with their cheese platter and cheese based dishes.

i'm glad vieux chalet hasn't change over the years. that's the beauty of it. intimate, rustic and nostalgic.

if there was an actual city vs city restaurant battle, vieux chalet is the best bet of antipolo and the whole of rizal.
