French-Asian fusion at restaurant Le Cap-Horn

Situated in a quintessentially Alpine chalet, this restaurant exhibits everything you would want from a restaurant in the mountains. Its interior is sleek yet cosy, with exposed-wood catching the flicker of candlelight. Head over to the bar and order yourself a cocktail before sinking into one of the spacious leather sofas; a gentle, intimate atmosphere in which to share a pre-dinner drink. Make your way to your table for the main event: a dinner of French-Asian cuisine with plenty of options for vegetarians. The pan-seared duck and the wagyu beef are among our favorites on this extensive menu. After dinner, you are free to head back into the bar, where you can expect smooth music and dancing.
