Named one of 20 Best New Restaurants in America for 2024 By Bon Appetit! In a distant European city, Fabian and Miriam vanished into the Alps, trading their city lives for mountain solitude. Once busy young professionals, their days were consumed by demanding careers, their rare weekends cherished for dining out and dancing, occasionally venturing into the mountains.But destiny intervened when Miriam inherited her grandfather's Alpine hut, nestled amidst the rustic charms of the mountains. They cut ties with the city, forsaking it for good. Days were spent farming, foraging, crafting cheese, and making wine. Nights brought cooking, baking, wine-drinking, and stargazing.Friends from the city visited, but Fabian and Miriam never looked back. They were drawn deeper into the mountains, caught in the Alpenrausch's dual meaning—the exhilaration of mountain air and the intoxication of good company, fine wine, and schnapps.Come experience Alpenrausch!

One of the best meals of my life and I’ve traveled pretty extensively across the globe. I was honestly blown away to find this restaurant in my backyard here in Portland. We came tonight on a recommendation of a friend and I kid you not, from the very first dish (salad) to the last (tiramisu), the hits did not stop hitting. Every single flavor tonight blew our minds and were perfectly laid out. We will come back again and again!

We went to Shalom Y'All for a birthday. We had a wonderful experience! All of the wait staff was knowledgeable and kept an eye on our table for opportunities to serve. Each person explained what the dish was to us. The drinks were amazing and unique! I loved that the dishes continued to arrive and were spaced the perfect amount of time apart. Overall, we had an excellent experience!
