    Salad with Swiss French dressing
    Richard P.

    Great food great service. The food there is very authentic Swiss cuisine. The service is friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is what it is.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a very small place to make a reservation.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Émincé Zurichoise - Thinly sliced pork sautéed in a mushroom cream sauce. A specialty of Zurich. (My favorite)
    Tess H.

    Swiss Hibiscus is an absolute gem in Portland and hands down one of my favorite restaurants. [[HIGHLIGHT]]From the moment you walk in, you're wrapped in a warm, cozy atmosphere that feels both intimate and delightfully unexpected, with charming Hawaiian inspired decor that somehow pairs perfectly with the rich comfort of authentic Swiss cuisine.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is truly outstanding and clearly made with care. Every dish is prepared fresh and made to order, and it shows in both flavor and presentation. My favorite dish, the émincé zurichoise, is rich, creamy, and deeply satisfying. Pure comfort on a plate. What really sets Swiss Hibiscus apart is the heart behind it. This is a place where tradition, quality, and hospitality come together seamlessly. It's rare to find food this authentic, thoughtfully prepared, and consistently excellent, all served in such a welcoming, one of a kind setting. If you're in Portland and looking for something special... whether it's a cozy date night, a celebration, or simply an unforgettable meal, Swiss Hibiscus is a must. I can't recommend it highly enough and will happily return again and again!!!

    Roti with cheese
    Chee K.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great little intimate restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I've read many good things about this place and I finally got to try it. It's small so I'd recommend a reservation if you can. You will have to order at their counter but you can sit down and look at their online menu before deciding. Their fresh rolls were so good! Crispy outside and pillowing inside. It comes with their home sauce which is like a mild thousand island. We tried the Roti with cheese and it's was so tasty, very well crisped potato hash brown. I picked the paprika schnitzel which was wonderful crispy and full of flavor. I loved their spatzel, almost like a slightly crisp buttery pasta. The dishes comes with a soup or salad. The mushroom soup was very good. My husband chose the jagerschnitzel which wasn't his favorite, a bit darker flavored one note. Service was great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only reason I'm not a bigger fan is that since the tables are so close, you will hear the next tables conversation and in my case, a large party's loud laughter.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was also not the fan of their ordering process. The food and service is five stars though.

    Salad
    Cheryl L.

    There are very few places that service Swiss food. Additionally if Guy ate here, then it must be good enough for us. Jagerschnitzel gravy was really delicious. Chicken Wiernerschmitzel was ok, but tasted better with the gravy from my dish. Salad dressing was tangy and delicious. They even sell the salad dressing if you want to bring a touch of Swiss Hibiscus home with you. The bread was delicious, fluffy, and warm. They ran out of the Swiss apple pie dessert which was disappointing. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms were clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Make a reservation before coming here because the place only has a limited amount of tables. It is a tiny place.

    Chocolate mousse
    Michelle E.

    Holy moly! We're going to go somewhere else, changed our minds and ended up here and so glad we did! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The menu is eclectic and the inside is very cute and cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We ordered the special, and it was amazing- salmon with beurre blanc. The bread was so warm, crunchy, and fluffy at the same time. The dressing that comes with the bread and also on their salads is so tasty we actually bought a bottle to go! They sell the bottles but so do a lot of grocery stores! The desserts were also so good! Can't wait to tell friends about this place and go back.

    Paprika schnitzel
    Keizzel C.

    I can't believe I just found out about this restaurant. What a great way to enjoy comfort German food that goes beyond brats and pretzels. I had Spätzl and became obsessed so when I searched Yelp I was able to find Sweet Hibiscus and see them offer so much more. Check out their menu online but they also have specials on their board when you walk in. We got lucky and were able to grab a spot for dinner without a reservation since we trekked through the rain but it does seem like a popular spot so I would recommend just booking a time in case. I really enjoyed the PAPRIKA SCHNITZEL and EMINCE ZURICHOISE. The prices are a little higher than what you might expect but worth it. The flavors have great depth and spices. The schnitzel was tender and soaked up the sauces and was delicious. I would recommend getting the SPÄTZLI w/ EMMENTALER CHEESE also. There were also a couple of dessert specials which I ordered and did not disappoint. If they're on the menu be sure to check them out!

    Spaghetti Ticinese
    Dylan S.

    Wow. One of the best restaurants in Portland hands down FOOD we got an assortment of classic Swiss dishes. All are seasoned to perfection. Unfortunately it has been a while since I ate here and couldn't give more details but trust me you won't be disappointed SERVICE The staff here are super nice. They sat us within minutes but we also had a reservation as well. The restaurant itself is kinda small and intimate. Highly recommend to make a reservation instead of walking in. ALL IN ALL. Go and thank me later :D

    Eis Kaffee
    Ploy N.

    As good as the hype says! A cozy spot serving European/Swiss delicacy. Do make a reservation cause their space is pretty small. Everything was delicious and unique. We started off with their hot, crispy bread that was supposed to be dip with their house sauces. A great way to start the meal. We then had their Escargot, which was my first time! Loved how buttery and garlic it was. The Snails were cooked perfectly too. Each entreé came with a side and soup/salad. We got the Specials Beef Tenderloin with Cabbage Salad and Rösti and the Goulash with Mutigawny Soup and Spatzli. We loved them both but my winner was the Goulash. The pork was sooo tender and melty. The stew was super flavorful and it went perfectly with the fresh spatzli that was crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. The soup was tasty too. I had nothing to complain about their food here. All very unique and well-executed. Of course, we had to get dessert. We split the Eis Kaffee which was a coffee milkshake and the Profiterole that was covered with hot chocolate sauce and filled with vanilla ice cream. A great way to wrap up the meal. Will definitely be back to try their Fondue next!

    Fondue
    Connor F.

    Absolutely fantastic. There's good reason they have such great reviews. Came with a party of 4, split the fondue and then we all got an entree. Refilled the bread for the fondue when we ran out free of charge. Three of us got the Emince Zurichoise which was absolutely fantastic, absolutely must have.

    Katie B.

    Wonderful food but we found it awkward to have reservations and have to order in the entry right when you walk in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]You're reading a massive menu and trying to figure out what you'd like to eat as other people are coming in for their reservations and there's not a lot of space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It would be so much better if you could just sit at your table and someone could take your order from there. The food was amazing though.

    Escargot
    Sue M.

    This gem of a Swiss establishment took me right back home to my mom's kitchen. From the escargot that swam in a delicious garlic butter, to the crunchy and piping hot homemade bread to sop up the delicacy, I was satisfied. I'm not a fan of reading the menu and standing in a crowded spot and then ordering and sitting down at our reserved table, the flow just doesn't make sense. It must work, as it is quite a successful restaurant. Once you figure out all the ins and outs of the menus and added any included items, you can sit down and relax, waiting for goodness to be served your way. We ordered the following and not one thing disappointed. Escargot in garlic butter. These are delicious and you don't even need to deal with a decorative shell. Just get right down to business and start enjoying. The Swiss Onion Soup is a must. Pay a little bit extra and allow your taste buds to explore the delicacy. We started with the house salad and the cabbage salad, both tossed with their house dressing (the chef's dad's recipe) and available to buy and bring home and slather on what you like. It is delicious. We are taking this back to California and wowing our friends with this amazing dressing. The Wienerschnitzel was perfectly breaded and fried, served with a traditional slice of lemon and a side of rosti (fried hash browns) or spatzli. Either are excellent as sides. The Bratwurst with brown gravy and onions was my favorite, accompanied by rosti. Had to share this with the group so that all could taste the wonderful dish and long for it later. Oh, but we aren't done. This group had to venture into dessert, which were the profiteroles (cream puffs filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with a homemade chocolate sauce). Come on, this place is Swiss, chocolate has to show up somewhere. 2 Bottles of Oregonian Pinot Noir later and a delicious meal, we can easily say that this was a wonderful dining experience and a memorable one at that. We will be back one day to experience Fondue or Raclette, but for now while it is 96 degrees, this was as light as we could go. Support this restaurant, and if you are Swiss, take a walk down memory lane. You won't be disappointed.

    Ordered the Jägerschnitzel. Delicious! I got the hasbrown side hood but a little salty, and my bf got the spatzle side which I think I enjoyed more. They give you a side of bread before your meal comes out with a spicy and regular dressing. I'm not a beer person but I did like the Hefeweizen! They make you order at the front before you sit down which I didn't really like. It was my first time so I wasn't sure what to order so I just got the same as my bf. It's a tight space so def recommend reserving ahead of time.

    Profiteroles
    Sean R.

    Though shnitzels & such aren't usually my favorite type of cuisine as it's usually a bit heavier but it's definitely hearty & this place does it well. We've tried several of the schnitzels and a few of their rotating specials, all of which have been pretty good. The entrees are a little pricey but it's a good amount of food, coming w/ either soup or salad & choice of rosti or linguini. The linguini was fine but the rosti is amazing, if you can only choose one choose that. I don't have other rosti experience to compare it to but it tasted like amazing more savory hashbrowns. We also tried the Profiteroles for dessert which was very tasty, like a bon bon stuffed w/ ice cream and a drizzled chocolate shell. The place itself is pretty small & you usually need reservations.

    Do you have gluten free bread for Foundue?

    Yes we have gluten free bread for fondue.

    Do you offer any vegan options?

    Hi there, is there Gluten Free options on the menu?

    No specific gluten free section on the menu, but it looks pretty easy to avoid the breaded items and choose potatoes over the spaetzle. Hope that helps.

I got a chicken pirozhki which had pastry that was flaky and rich but not greasy, and a surprisingly hearty filling of chicken, garlic, white sauce, green onion, and tomato. If you'll forgive the somewhat crass comparison, it was like a Kirkland chicken bake, refined with delicate care into a very gourmet dish. The staff were great, a very positive experience. For counter serve, it was very slow (maybe 10 minutes from ordering to eating) but the shop is located in a little market / event venue so there was plenty to explore while we waited. The real stand out, though, is the pelmeni. Available as a dish or to take home frozen in 3 or 5 pound bags, these little beef or chicken dumplings are perfectly spiced and seasoned. I got a 3 pound bag of the beef and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Prepared as they do in the store, with some sour cream, the pelmeni are a sumptuous meal. The tangy sour cream contrasts the savory meat and accents the subtle spices. I wasn't the only one drooling over the dumplings, either - my puppy, on smelling the beef, had to be locked in the other room to keep him from trying to steal the bowl.
