Swiss Vieux Chalet

I stumbled into some old photos taken with a cell phone I lost more than a year ago. Among the photos was one featuring dessert at the Swiss Vieux Chalet restaurant in Antipolo. It is a 20 to 30-minute drive from our home depending on the traffic and is almost always part of our itinerary when we go to Antipolo Church, Pinto Gallery or any other destination in the area. In most visits our objective is simply to have lunch at the restaurant.

I personally like the Smoked Pork Chop with mushroom sauce that is served with herbed rice. The Clairvoyant usually tries their seafood or pasta, particularly the Fish Fillet in White Wine Sauce or the Spinach Ravioli. We usually order Raclette or Pate de Foie for appetizer(s). Their pizzas are also quite good and we usually get the house special or the Five Cheese. For drinks, the lemon-grass cooler works quite well with anything. So far we haven't had any disappointments with whatever we've ordered at the restaurant. 

For more information about Swiss Vieux Chalet, one can browse their website or go to their Multiply page where one can find their menu for advance browsing. Also, be reminded to first make reservations as they are usually full and have few tables for walk-ins. Of course, if one is a regular patron, trust their head waiter, Rico, to remember you and make sure you get a table if not courteously advise you of the unavailability of one.
