Weekend Tradition

All winter at Alpina Swiss Bakery we’ve been doing fondue and raclette experiences on the weekends.

I got the idea from this tiny chalet in Rougemont, Switzerland called Café du Cerf. It’s the place everybody flocks to for the best, most authentic fondue and raclette — and we try to recreate that atmosphere here.

Salad, Then Swipe

It’s super authentic, down to the salad. Everyone gets a mash salad — that’s lamb’s ear lettuce here — and the second course is a tasting of raclette. Then comes the main event: a big pot of fondue. I always offer both raclette and fondue courses. I feel really strongly that no one should walk away having only tried one.

The Wow Moment

There’s this wow moment too. I show up with the raclette and the melter and do the cheese swipe at the table — that’s when you hear the gasps.

Inside Tip 🪄

During the summer, you can book a private event at the bakery, or we’ll bring the whole setup to your home. It’s like dropping a little slice of Switzerland right into your dining room. 🇨🇭

Book a cozy trip back to the Hamptons during the winter season and enjoy a three-course fondue experience at the bakery.
