You don’t have to travel to the Vorarlberg mountains or Switzerland to enjoy a perfect cheese fondue – the popular winter classic is currently on the menu at the Bootshaus on the Old Donau. The restaurant revives the traditional dish in two versions, “classic” or “deluxe” with truffles. With the “Krone” you can convince yourself of the culinary specialties in the best location – we are giving away 3 x 1 cheese fondue vouchers.
“We want to offer our guests the perfect winter experience on the Old Danube,” says managing director Ferdinand Querfeld, looking forward to the culinary specialty. The fondue made from 100 percent Vorarlberg cheese, which was developed especially for the restaurant by the traditional company Alma, impresses with the house blend of mountain cheese, Emmental and Gruyère. From the cheese mixture to the selection of side dishes to the food pairing – everything has been thought of here.Sociable setting for eating together. The traditional dish is particularly popular in the cold season – it offers a sociable setting for eating together. The best way to enjoy the cheese fondue is in the glass houses right by the water. For a luxurious touch, Vienna’s new cheese fondue hotspot offers a second variant with fresh truffles from northern Italy. Baguette, potatoes and a selection of pickled vegetables and prosciutto rolls are served as side dishes. There is also fine champagne from Laurent Perrier. “We all agree on one thing: you can taste quality. “High-quality, hand-made cheese directly from the mountain dairyman has an immensely wide variety of flavors,” says Daniel Marte, CEO of Alma. “To achieve the smooth and creamy texture typical of a cheese fondue, it is all about the mixture. The right proportions of cheeses create the perfect taste.” The Bootshaus team has come up with a completely new fondue variation as a suitable dessert: a warm, creamy vanilla sauce in a fondue pot into which chocolate-almond tarts, bundt cakes, cinnamon churros and fresh fruits are dipped.Mysterious originIncidentally, there is no other national dish’s origin as mysterious as that of cheese fondue. Whether it was mountain farmers who dared to experiment with culinary experiments in their isolation from the outside world, or monks who wanted to circumvent the fasting rules with melted cheese – these stories have so far been considered mere legends. It’s not just the cheese fondue that goes well in the glass houses on the jetty enjoy on the Old Danube. All winter long, the boathouse offers its visitors antipasti, calamari fritti, fish & chips and much more from Wednesday to Friday. On weekends and public holidays you can also have a hearty breakfast here – right by the water. On February 14th, all lovers can expect a romantic Valentine’s dinner in the boathouse and on February 16th there is the famous boathouse herring feast.
