Chalet Suisse




Deep in Grunewald, in the Dahlem district, the Châlet Suisse is hidden behind old pines and deciduous trees. This rustic wooden house combines Swiss mountain romance with Berlin forest air, and anyone who has once taken a seat by the crackling fireplace knows why this restaurant has been attracting regulars for decades.
Fireplace and Cheese Hut: Châlet Suisse in Grunewald
On golden autumn days, fire bowls burn outside, while inside the team is already stoking the fire in the fireplace. In winter, it crackles all day long. Seats near the open wood fire are popular, from where you can watch the kitchen at work.
Just 15 minutes from Kudamm, Châlet Suisse is nestled in greenery. Hidden under old deciduous trees and tall pines in a large, natural garden, this charming wooden house offers cozy dining rooms. The rustic decor, featuring plenty of wood and warm light, creates a snug atmosphere that is particularly inviting during the colder months.
Swiss Classics and Berlin Forest Walk
The kitchen team creates modern cuisine with a Swiss profile, bringing together the best of German and Swiss dishes with attention to detail. The menu features Rösti, Bündnerfleisch, fondue, and raclette, accompanied by excellent Swiss wines. The cheese fondue follows an in-house recipe made from Swiss mountain cheese, Valais Chasselas, and Swiss cherry liqueur.
In winter, Châlet Suisse opens on weekends with fire bowls, warm lighting, and a heated cheese hut. The restaurant is also conveniently located for a stroll to Domäne Dahlem or Jagdschloss Grunewald. Thus, an evening by the fireplace becomes an excursion experience that goes far beyond just dining.
