Chesa

Swiss   |   $ $ $ $   |   Tsim Sha Tsui

Be transported to a cosy chalet in the Swiss Alps, complete with decadent cheese fondue, Swiss wine and chocolate, and The Peninsula’s renowned service

 

There’s something splendidly surreal about the small door that takes you from the Peninsula’s palatial corridors into a windowless, low-ceilinged Swiss lodge, where the smell of melted cheese immediately hits you. Chesa’s commitment to its theme is impressive, down to the alphorn music and the candlelit arc of the wood-panelled roof. Unusually, the dinner set menu doesn’t feature Chesa’s signature dishes, although the Swiss wine pairing is surely unique in Hong Kong. The Gruyere and cream soup is a highlight, though, and hints at the dangerously delicious things the chefs can do with dairy.

Signature Dishes

  • Gruyère and Vacherin Fribourgeoise cheese fondue
  • Hot melted cheese with new potatoes pickled onions
  • Traditional barley cream soup from Grisons with vegetables and air-dried beef

Tatler Tip
