Description:
Along the road that borders Eagle Beach, a short stroll from La Cabana resort, this alpine chalet restaurant has the feel of an old-fashioned Swiss dining room. In deliberate contrast to the arid scrublands that surround it, the 15-year-old institution is an air-conditioned refuge of thick plaster walls, pinewood panels, and good old Teutonic gemutlichkeit (well-being). Appetizers include bundnerfleisch (thinly sliced dried beef with tangy horseradish sauce), escargots in herbal garlic butter with shallots, and Dutch pea soup. Main courses include beef stroganoff, pasta, Wiener schnitzel, roast duckling with orange sauce, and red snapper with Creole sauce. The array of high-calorie desserts includes Swiss and German standards such as apple strudel and Toblerone chocolate fondue. The hearty Swiss fare is a nice change for Arubans and expatriates; tourists may find it a bit heavy.
