    Roti with cheese
    Chee K.

    Great little intimate restaurant. 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. 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. I was also not the fan of their ordering process. The food and service is five stars though.

    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. Restrooms were clean. Make a reservation before coming here because the place only has a limited amount of tables. It is a tiny place.

    Holy moly! We're going to go somewhere else, changed our minds and ended up here and so glad we did! The menu is eclectic and the inside is very cute and cozy. 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

    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!

    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

    Wonderful food but we found it awkward to have reservations and have to order in the entry right when you walk in. 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. 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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Had some family visiting and take them here and share one of best date night spots we ever had. Everything was so spot on to our experience previously and they even remembered us after it had been several months since coming in! If you're looking for a place to flex on your relatives or future in laws in Portland, look no further. We took them boating, wake surfing, and they even spent a day out in the beautiful Columbia gorge doing all sorts of fun stuff only to say that dinner at Swiss Hibiscus was their favorite part of visiting. Sometimes all it takes is good people, great food, and an imported cider to realize the best of times are sometimes happening over a pot of fondue. The trick is knowing where to go, and if you've found yourself thinking about going here, I can confidently say it be worth picking over almost any spot in the area. Tell me a place you can experience 5 star service, food, and ambiance without $$$$ next to the restaurant name... I'll wait. Kind, genuine, and good people can feel hard to find these days, but you can bet you'd find a whole room full of them if you knew the right place to look and Swiss Hibiscus is definitely that place. I'd give them 6 stars if I could, but nonetheless thank you to the chefs, waitstaff, and owner for the kindness and care during our meal, we will be back someday soon, ready to impress more of our family & friends with all you have to offer.

    I just love this local little gem. Make a reservation...it's a small place and they fill up quick. The menu does change and you can look online for their most recent offerings. The fondue is simple blissful yumminess! The Swiss onion soup is piping hot and so flavorful. This is a small family owned restaurant and their service is so amazing. It's always a great experience whenever we have gone in.

    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.

    Nice little German pub, with bar and indoor seating available. The service was exceptional from…read morethe waitresses to the bartenders. Everyone was super accommodating, helpful, and pleasant. They had a nice draft and bottle selection of German beer. The food was delicious. The pretzel was scrumptious with 3 dipping sauces that were all good. I ordered the Jägerschnitzel, prepared breaded and pan fried like a Wienerschnitzel. It was cooked perfectly with the pork tender and thin. The red cabbage was great too. The warm German potato salad was not traditional. It tasted more like seasoned fried potatoes, but they were still good. My only suggestion would have been a little more gravy. My husband got the Maultaschen, which we had never had. It was a pasta filled with sautéed leeks & cheese, topped with asparagus, & mushrooms in white wine sauce...delicious. Everything was great!!!

    Yum! We hadn't been to Stammtisch since the year it opened (2014, eeeek, now I feel old)…read more But we went again last Friday, and it was such a delightful place to go for lunch. Not crowded, with attentive but chill service. We had a delicious burger (hubby) with a fabulous acid-forward set of toppings; a delicious lentil-and-every-German-meat soup (me, because I am an Official Soup Nerd); a delicious pretzel with dips (us). Chocolate pot de creme for dessert--so rich. It was Strong Bier month, which was really fun. Can't wait to go back.

When we arrived Saturday evening, the place was packed. The ambience of this place is really cool. It's totally decked out in German flags and wooden alpine decor that I imagine what Germany restaurants will look like when we eventually visit We waited approximately about 30 minutes for a seat which was fine. We got to our table and were tended to right away by the host and the waitress. I ordered a large 22 ounce size Stein of German beer and my son enjoyed one of their cocktail specialties, The Black Forrest, which consisted of , Jägermeister , whiskey, chocolate, and cream, topped off with chocolate sprinkles on the top. Very tasty. The wife had an Arnold Palmer, well because, someone had to drive home! LOL! The food was absolutely outstanding! My son had the Bavarian feast which is a sampling of all different types of German food. His first time having German food and he loved it. My wife ordered the chicken schnitzel and she liked it a lot. I ordered the Hungarian Jäger Schnitzel and it was outstanding. Not to mention the cheese fondue with bread and sausage and it was a perfect evening with the family.
