Vail, Colorado – Delicacy at Sonnealp Hotel’s Swiss Chalet Restaurant is odd to order but taste buds say other wise.
Do not let this aesthetically unappealing entrée named the Zuricher Geschnetzeltes fool you. It may look like a plate of blob or a soup for that matter but what the person actually receives when eating this dish is far more pleasurable than expected.

       Delicacy: Zuricher Geschnetzeltes at Vail, Colorado

The Zuricher Geschnetzeltes consists of veal that is cooked to perfection and is sautéed with Oyster Mushrooms, Button Mushrooms and Chardonnay Cream sauce that plays a delectable role on one’s tongue. The dish is rich and creamy and the medium-strong notes of Chardonnay can definitely be tasted on a person’s palate. Overall, the veal is tender, juicy and well flavored.
Both the Oyster and Button Mushrooms merely add to the flavor and although the entrée is served with Rösti Potatoes, you will forget all about them because the exquisite veal takes all the show here. On a scale of 1-5, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best, the Zuricher Geschnetzeltes surpasses 5 on the scale. If the entrée must have a number, it would be a 10 but because the sale must be used, the dish deserves all 5 stars. What a highly recommended delight and the chef must be commended.
