    A delightful place.

    The warm cozy interior, cheesy as it may be, is so well complimented by the cheesy cuisine that you won't be bothered by the faux Swiss chalet design.

    Firelight and piano music add to the warm atmosphere that put me in a jovial mood as I enjoyed the best onion soup I've ever had.

    The fondue we tried was also spot on and delicious.

    A unique and wonderful place well worth a visit.

    You really can't go wrong with heading to the Alpenhaus on a cold winter night, it just seems like the perfect place to be when the weather outside is cold and dark. Nothing like enjoying a beautiful fire and filling your belly with hardy foods like Escargots, french onion soup, wienerschnitzel, raclette or my personal favourite, some great fondue. I always love starting with the cheese fondue followed by the Chinese Fondue and finished with either the delicious chocolate fondue or going out of the routine and having the best Crème brûlée you'll ever encounter.
    Not to mention that the nice dark cosy atmosphere along with the piano player make it perfect for a date night

    This cute and romantic restaurant had the best Onion Soup (or as we call it in the USA, "French Onion Soup") I have ever had.  It had such a delightful layer of cheese on top of the onions, bread and broth.  Great starter for us - we shared one bowl of soup for the two of us as we wanted to get the cheese fondue as part of our meal as well.

    The cheese fondue is excellent here.  They serve it with good crusty bread and for an extra couple dollars they will serve you a plate of vegtables to dip.

    We also had the filet mignon which came with the hot oil to cook on your own.  I liked the meat but felt bad about eating deep fried food and cheese in one meal.  Oh well, it was good.  The sauces for the meat were all interesting as well.

    Oh The Alpenhaus! It's quite a fun restaurant for the Onion Soup and Fondue!
    Its a place to visit 1-2 times a year. It has a interesting log cabin decor, and the food is quite good. You are having fondue, so it is a slow evening to eat at. Have some good conversations with family and friends

    Great place for fondue, good quality and quantity, but a bit over priced. The owner very much wants to please as he has been doing for over 30 years.

    A bit on the pricey side but you'll not regret the cost. Wonderful German Swiss food in the heart of Montreal. Everything was wonderful from the wine to the dessert. The Chocolate fondue is worthy of the calories. If you want a special meal, this is the place to go. They can accommodate large groups well.

    Visited again recently. Delicious fondue! Not much has changed. Atmosphere is still the same, fondue is still awesome. Service is excellent. You can't miss this place if you want excellent fondue!
