Boutique Hotel The River House — Restaurant in Andermatt

Nestled in the charming Boutique Hotel The River House, Di Alt Apothek offers an unforgettable culinary experience, especially during the festive season. We had the pleasure of enjoying a delightful Christmas Lunch there, and every bite was a testament to their culinary artistry.

The Coffee-Crusted Lamb was a revelation—tender, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with a subtle hint of coffee that elevated the dish. The Succulent Ribs lived up to their name, falling off the bone with a smoky glaze that left us craving more. The Risotto and Pork Sausage was comfort food at its finest, boasting rich, hearty flavors that paired beautifully with the creamy risotto.

To complement the meal, we indulged in Irish Coffee and sampled the local beer, both of which added a festive cheer to our lunch. The local beer was crisp and refreshing, while the Irish Coffee was perfectly crafted with just the right amount of warmth and sweetness.

The highlight, however, was the desserts—an array of the most delicious sweet treats that beautifully rounded off our meal. Each bite was a burst of flavor, showcasing the chef's exceptional skill and attention to detail.

I visited Alt Apothec, the restaurant at the River House Hotel, during a recent vacation to Andermatt with my family. We ordered our meal with the help of an excellent server and enjoyed the food. While our table was quite small for three people, we still had a nice meal and conversation with the family at the table next to us. It wasn’t until the end of our visit that our experience was upsetting. The owner made negative comments about Americans, including references to the wastefulness of most Americans and their inclination to order dessert without finishing their meals. This was after we had all finished our meals and didn’t order dessert. When the restaurant’s credit card reader did not work, the owner was unwilling to take our information to process the transaction the following day. He told us Americans have walked out on their bill in the past. He raised his voice and hit his hand on our table. We were required to pay for the meal in cash. ||The experience was upsetting and so different from all of our other experiences in Andermatt. We visited many wonderful restaurants during our vacation and they were all outstanding. We highly recommend this ski area and hope to return, but we would not recommend...
