This place was eh for a fondue restaurant. The cheese fondue itself is 42$ and then you have to pay for any extra dippings (veggies, fruit). All the fondue came with was a bowl of very flattened and weird looking bread cubes. Honestly tasted like old hot dog buns ripped up. The apples were okay... but also like 6$. Crazy for a bowl of apples. We got the meat board and some of the meats had a very strange and gross taste to them. I believe those were 20$. The waitress was very rude and kept telling us she couldn't make specific drinks. She acted like she did not want to be there and we were a nuisance. The place was nice and I enjoyed the table and the view. Overall, I would never come back and visit this place. The melting pot is the same price and comes with sourdough and all the fruits and veggies you want. The French onion soup was just bad. No flavor and no melty cheese on top. I figured it would have some good cheese because it's from a Swiss place, but no. They might have good chocolate fondue, but I would not go for anything besides dessert. read more

I agree this place is a tourist trap, the food wasn't any better quality than The Melting Pot and it was 3x the price. Our bill for 3 people was over $350! Also they had the heat turned up to where it felt like an oven! My daughter actually go sick to her stomach and couldn't eat because of it. I'd save your money and go to the DELICIOUS French restaurant down the street, half the price and worth every penny! read more

Best place in CO-- Must visit! We got the fruit fondue and it was amazing! Service is great and so is the vibe

WARNING! Do yourself a favor and at least read some of these reviews so you know what you're getting into. We walked into a warm, lodgey-feeling environment a few minutes ahead of our reservation and were seated quickly. After a long while, the waitress poorly explained the menu and we ordered what we had concluded was an appropriate amount of food for the table. It took about an hour for the food to come out. A long time for any restaurant, but even more so here because all of the meat comes out raw! It is then a slow process to cook all of the proteins at the table and you can really only do a few bites at a time. I have to admit, most of the food was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken, beef, and shrimp. Scallops are a tough sell in this setting and the cheese fondue was mediocre at best, despite the whole party loving cheese. It is also drastically overpriced. For a minuscule portion that takes forever to come out and still has to be cooked, I wouldn't pay anywhere close to what they charge at The Swiss Haven. A fun experience to try once, but do not go in with expectations of a meal that will justify the financial damages. read more

I was so excited to have some Swiss fondue and so very disappointed with what I was served. Besides the fact that it was expensive, the servings were small, the bread wasn't good and mainly the Gruyère fondue had too much seasoning that should not have been used. Maybe it disguised the flavor of cheap cheese. Also the Spaetzle had plenty of what seemed to be the same strong seasoning and tasted bad. I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone. 2/24/26 read more

Ivan gets five stars. He brings all the stars to this place. No, that's not fair, the restaurant deserves five stars on its own ... but Ivan brings an extra five just in case. But who is Ivan? Our server. Not only did he do a great job with us, but he had to deal with perhaps the most annoying human being I have ever had the misfortune of sitting next to at a restaurant who complained about EVERYTHING and even sent his apple strudel back because it was cold and should have ben served hot. How do I know? He wouldn't stop complaining about it. His incohate arrogance met poised equanimity as Ivan fielded all the poisoned barbs with grace. Not only did he deliver the warm apple strudel - he verified first that the couple had the time in their schedule for the kitchen to do a re-do. Conscientious. Yes, Ivan. You are the hero we didn't deserve. So let's see here. Making reservations was a bit tricky because we were dining during "hell week" - the week between Christmas and New Year's. I was able to put our name on a wait list of sorts but they couldn't CONFIRM the reservation until after Thanksgiving. I did eventually get a call back with a confirmation ... but day-of, we got a call asking if we could move the schedule up a bit in exchange for a better table. Sure! Why not? We were flexible. So we flexed. And it worked out. We had a great table for the 12 of us and had 3 pots out on the table ... so, if you're quick at math, you've already realized that's 1 pot for 4 people, or ... 1 pot per table. Look at you go, math wiz. The options were ... extensive. If you struggle with making decisions, well, I hope you get Ivan. He gave us a quick run-down of some of the choices we had, popular decisions & combinations, and provided some recommendations that were highly influential in getting us meals that we were happy with. We started off with a variety of salads and such which ... I think is definitely worth it. You're about to gorge yourself on bread, cheese, and meat. Starting with some greens is ... well, it just feels like it balances things out a bit, y'know? We ended up getting a 2x order of cheese fondue per table with accompaniments. Apples, pears, some medium rare filet, rösti, spätzle, cornicons ... the selections varied by table. But wow did this take me back. I lived in Europe 7+ years growing up, 4.5 of which were in Switzerland. Let me tell you - get the kirchwasser mixed in with the Fondue. It adds exactly the right je ne sais quoi (actually I sais exactly quoi ... it's kirchwasser) to make the fondue extra delicious. Did we have room for dessert? No. But was the meal at least a bargain? Also no. Look, you're at a fondue restaurant in Breck. You're going to be spending some money. For our table of twelve though, it was well worth the food and the experience. I can't wait to go back. read more

Amazing food amazing vibes amazing service, wife says its the best food she has ever had and we will be back!

I can't tell if I'm just annoyed we spent money here or that I'm mad that someone in our group really wanted to come here so we went. I kinda thought this place was a big waste of money. The workers were very nice and explained the menu well. I just think maybe I hate the concept of fondue. I thought this place was ridiculously overpriced. The atmosphere is nice with cute decorations. I thought the food was very average for what we paid for. The French onion soup was definitely the highlight of my visit. The cheese was good and the spices they used were great. It was $16. The fondue itself was so average for $42. The bread was awful. It was just plain bread. I definitely think a baguette would be better. The sides were overpriced. $7 for an apple. So average. We paid way too much and we did not even get meat. Overall I would never have chosen to dine here and I will never return. read more

Sweet greedy goblins, this place was absolutely fantastic! We arrived a week before ski season, so the entire place was essentially empty, but that did not stop the staff from treating us all real well. We started with their signature cheese fondu, and chased it with some beef tips. For that, I must say, was one hell of an experience. Even after we were done with the cheese, they scrapped the bottom and gave us the bits to crunch on as well, and that was probably the most flavorful part of the cheese. Amazing stuff all around! read more

I'm sad there isn't a melting pot here but this place is decent. Cheese is done right. However, very expensive for what you get (16$ for a French onion soup and 7$ for a cut up apple, the cheese fondue comes with dry tasteless bread you will probably not eat) but it fulfilled my fondue craving! The staff are very nice and it was a fun atmosphere. read more

Swiss Haven has been on my Breckenridge bucket-list for a few years now. We'd pass it while walking Main Street each ski season, and I would always smell the warm chocolate and inviting fondue... ah, someday. Well, lucky me- someday has arrived. In the midst of our 2020 pandemic, Swiss Haven did not disappoint! We came for my birthday- just after Thanksgiving weekend- and to my pleasant surprise, they had a covered outdoor patio. I had initially called in early November to make reservations; after Summit County restricted all indoor dining, I called back to confirm my reservation (or see if we could do take-out). Their owner left me a super kind voicemail- informing me of their heated back patio, and offered the option of borrowing their fondue supplies for an at-home experience if I preferred take-out. (Totally unexpected for them to offer us to borrow equipment- now that is dedication and trust!) We ended up eating in-person on the patio, and man- definitely a birthday dinner to remember. We got the Peak 8- a mid-blend of cheese fondue. Sooooo tasty! In lieu of a separate protein course, we ordered steak tips for the cheese fondue and were surprised at how well the steak was cooked (mmm, see my pics and let your mouth water). Before finishing our cheese, the servers came to scrape off the hardened sides of the pot to enjoy the crispy cheese bits. Yummy!!! Finally, we closed the evening with chocolate fondue (of course, right?) Definitely did not disappoint! I loved the strawberries! Most notable- the staff was very attentive, coming several times to reignite our fondue fire (go figure, outdoor patio equals wind blowing out the flame), never let our glasses run empty, and provided great suggestions. Highly recommend! read more

We made a reservation and when we walked in it was literally empty at 7:30. There was one other table. We should've ran. The staff is super friendly so that's why it's hard to write this but the menu online seems amazing. We ended up getting 3 watered down french onion soups, pear and pecan salad had three small slices of pear on them with a drop of dressing. We ordered the bruschetta that was presented nicely but it was basic sliced baguette that was super soggy and they said it's because they put tomato on it. They were nice enough to remove it from the bill. So two hot lemon waters, 3 soups and 2 salads was $100 without tip. We walked next door and ordered some crepes. Not for us. read more

I came here for dinner with my family. I started with the comforting and delicious french onion soup. We shared a cheese fondue, which I highly recommend with apples, and a meat fondue. My favorite part was the dessert: decadent milk chocolate fondue with strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and brownies. The main con to this place is that the portions are small and the prices are high. read more

Two words: tourist trap. I took my girlfriend here for our final night out in Breckenridge. After having wonderful meals at other restaurants in town, we were excited for this traditional alpine experience. We left bitterly disappointed, even angry. We were appalled when we received a $183 bill (before tip) for this restaurant. $15 for a beer? $10 for a bottle of San Pellegrino? Are these owners drunk? If you're going to charge $7 for a SINGLE cut up apple to go with cheese fondue, it better not be a supermarket red delicious, and the bread better not be wal mart quality. They charged $12 for "Swiss potatoes" that were nothing more than diner hash browns - and I've had better at IHOP. Everything about the food was average and the service was abysmal. The waiter could not stop interrupting us. He had such an awkward demeanor that we wondered if he was stoned. I was appalled when we ordered the cheese fondue and instead of being helpful about the sides we should get to accompany it, he told us that it wouldn't be enough food (not true) and we needed to also get a ($50+) meat fondue. It was the most shameless upselling I've seen in a long time - totally unprofessional. The dessert- apple strudel with ice cream - came out ice cold. We sent it back, had to wait like 20 minutes for a hot replacement, and then they had the gall to still charge us for it. Are they nuts?! I simply cannot believe what a rip off this restaurant is. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Being in Breck off season I soon found hardly anything was open (I know, I know shocking?!?) I was headed to another place only to find the internet was wrong about their hours & they were in fact closed, so scrambled to find another option, then I remembered passing by The Swiss Haven along the way, surely it wasn't opened but thought I'd give it a peek. It was open, now I was not in the mood to do fondue (thank you altitude, next time though) but I saw they had soup & salads so thought I'd as for to go for that. The lady was a little shocked about the question (I'm sure they don't get many to go orders) & said they don't do fondue to go. Once I cleared up I only wanted soup & salad she was incredibly helpful. They bagged everything up hardly waited (note they didn't have cutlery, I anticipated this though) and I was on my way. The french onion soup was amazing and the pear/walnut salad was super fresh and a great portion. The Swiss Haven hit the spot & exceeded expectations. I'd recommend this cute spot on a cold night & would go back for a full fondue meal!! read more

We enjoyed fondue dinner for four of us. We ordered two cheese fondues for the table, one with Kirschwasser and one without. Both were delicious and came with plenty of bread for dipping, the bread was fresh. We shared two salads, they were smaller than we expected but we enjoyed them. We shared one plate of beef and two pots of chocolate. The food was great, the server was attentive and the interior was cozy and interesting. We would definitely eat here again. The only drawback was that the salad and chocolate portions were small for the price but we ordered the right amount read more

Swiss in the name of the restaurant implies an Alps experience. I used to visit Chamonix, Les Trois Vallées, Val d'Isère, and know what the authentic Alpine atmosphere is like there. I felt the same here--Claudio, the owner, came to make sure our experience was as it is in Europe. Fondue and crème brûlée were genuine. But the biggest surprise was--I asked if they had Génépi, and Claudio opened a bottle of this French liqueur that he kept for such occasions. Thanks for the great evening. read more

This was the first time having fondue since the mid 80's and the first time at a restaurant. We started with the farmers plate as an appetizer, which was very good. My wife ordered the cheese fondue and I went with the meat fondue. I felt both were very good but my wife felt they need more wine in the cheese fondue. Service was very good. They try to make the atmosphere seem like a Swiss chalet. It is expensive. The appetizer, two entrees and two glasses of wine came to $147 before tip. Then again $75/person is t that bad for an appetizer, 2 entrees and 2 gl read more

If you really are really craving fondue, this will fit the bill. The starters were ok--we had the wedge and carpaccio. Not enough dressing on the wedge for our taste. The flavor of the fondue was good but there just wasnt enough of it and the bread was disappointing--pretty much normal bread. The other accompaniments were fine (the highlight was the pickles for us) but it was not memorable enough to justify a return visit. read more

Fondue with a twist! We enjoyed the regular Cheese Fondue with bread and apples; as an appetizer. Tasty start! Then we switched to a meaty GRILL for our entree.

This was a cute place! Definitely not as fancy as we were expecting, some people were in there dressed in shorts and tshirts. Service was good, the waiter explained everything. The fondue itself was pretty good, nothing special honestly. Overpriced for the amount that you get and the sides for the cheese fondue are DEFINITELY overpriced. An apple was literally $7. I would go again, but be mindful that you're gonna be paying a lot for not too much quantity. read more

This place was horrible, do yourself a favor and don't waste the money. We brought the family there for a relaxing occasion and were rushed through the meal. We have never been to a fondue restaurant where all of the courses came out at once (cheese and broth entree) before coming to this place. Usually we consider fondue as an experience, our party of six was done in less than an hour and very dissatisfied. It was extremely overpriced considering the bland flavor and little amount of food you get. Put it this way... my young kids were walking down the street telling people not to go there if that tells you anything. I never take the time to write a Yelp review, this is my first one ever... it's really that bad. I would have told a manager there; however, not a single person asked us how everything was, including our waitress. read more

We made a reservation before reading reviews on here. I was nervous we made a mistake once I got on Yelp. We have had fondue at restaurants before so we kind of knew what to expect. My husband and I had the best time and really enjoyed the food! Do it! Sure, the fondue was expensive ($45) but if you consider buying the same cheese at a store it adds up. This is not cheddar at Kroger. We also did the beef tips meat fondue. It was a broth that came to a boil, and you cook it on your own, to your likeness. It was so fun to do. Definitely recommend the cheese fondues with apples and beef tip meat fondue. Awesome sauces to dip it into. Also, Diego was awesome. Book it! It's worth the expense for the experience. read more

We made reservations for 6 at Swiss Haven. We were promptly seated and introduced to our waiter Chris who was bilingual which suited our needs. We ordered chicken, beef and 4 orders of cheese fondue! Everything was delicious! We ate everything in sight so I didn't get a picture till our plates were clean. Not all of us were sure of the fondue etiquette but Chris explained everything to us respectfully. We even indulged in the chocolate fondue for dessert!

Know going into this that it is more of an experience and it's going to cost a lot. If you love fondue, it's worth it in my opinion. My boyfriend had never had legit fondue in a restaurant before and we were up in the area. I had been years before and only remembered good things. Everything was so tasty, but the cheese fondue is very small for the price. We got one cheese pot with a bunch of veggie and fruit sides. Ended up with too much sides and too little cheese. So we got a second pot of cheese, but still had too many sides. The first pot was the medium cheese blend, the second was the more sharp blend, at the suggestion of our waitress. The second sharper one really hit the spot, wow that was yummy. But for sides some were just too bland. In our opinion you could skip the potatoes and carrots. My favorites were the apple and broccoli. Although you could stick to bread. The egg noodles made a fantastic little mac n cheese but was super filling. We also had a few glasses of wine each. Overall a lovely experience and night out. read more

Food was delicious but the wait staff was a bit overbearing. I get that they are passionate about fondue but if you're not a chocolate fan, they shouldn't get upset if you decide to get only cheese fondue and other menu items. Also felt a bit judged on our entire order. Not the best experience. Fortunately the food was delicious. Would go back but hoping for a better experience from the staff. Definitely felt safe here with the COVID precautions however. read more

I never had Swiss food before...or so I thought. I never knew that fondue was a Swiss classic. We figured this place was going to a decent touristy place with a huge mark up and we were prepared for that. Our table started out with 3 different cheese fondues, I can't recall the name but one was called peak 8 and the other 2 basically tasted very similar. The fondues came with bread, JUST bread, if you wanted fruit or anything else it was an extra charge. For entrees, our table got fillet and shrimp. We had a pretty big order but they only brought out one fondue pot. For a table this size we should have gotten at least 2 pots. Due to the amount of people using the pot it took forever to cook the food. The broth itself was pretty bland. I also ordered a classic dish myself as my entree. It was like a beef stroganoff. It was average but for 32 bucks I was expecting not only more food but better quality. Overall, this is a bad version of melting pot. read more
