Dishes of melted cheese have long been a Swiss tradition. Switzerland is famous for both fondue and raclette. When in Zurich, one of the best places to get your melted cheese is at Swiss Chuchi Restaurant.
The restaurant is attached to Hotel Adler. On a balcony overlooking the outdoor restaurant seating, stands Heidi the cow. Heidi was part of a 1998 art project where hundreds of painted cows were placed around the city.
Heidi has become quite famous in her own right. The restaurant has even chosen to feature her on their placemats.
The restaurant also had some interesting decor. The Swiss are known for their elaborate and accurate clocks. The little man is wearing a traditional cowherd outfit of the Swiss Alpabzug. This is the time when the dairy cows come down from the mountains. Then the cheese making can begin !
Our fondue arrived in a hot pot. It was a mix of several cheeses with white wine,
cherry liquor and garlic. There was mushrooms mixed into the cheese by our request. We also had a plate of vegetables and bread to dip into this delicious concoction.
We dipped and dipped our long thin forks into our seemingly bottomless fondue. A little accordion player watched us from the ledge beside our table.
After finishing all of our fondue we were very full and very content. We waved goodbye to Heidi and wandered out to explore the streets of Zurich.
