Almresi Vail

Unmissable taste of the Alps in Vail. I’m from Switzerland and this is the best and most authentic alpine restaurant I’ve tried in the US.

The German draft beers are the best in Vail (if you’re into European beers) and the traditional Swiss/Austrian/German dishes are delicious.

The first night we ordered the “Raclette Grill & Fondue” dish that lets you grill raclette cheese, sausages, beef, and much more. As a traditional raclette meal requires, cornichon pickles and small potatoes were correctly served alongside. We came back the next day and were just as gratified. The pretzel with cheese dip and the “Resi’s schnitzel” served with spätzle were equally authentic and tasty, though the “Alm Pasta Südtirol” was disappointingly bland.

The service and ambiance were fantastic. The owner and our amazing server Hendrik were both German, the staff wear traditional Bavarian clothing, and the wooden interior feels like a cozy chalet.

Make sure to finish your meal with digestif shots of the sweet schnapps.

Been coming to Almresi for years and this Swiss inspired restaurant never disappoints. Great schnitzel and even better fondue. Delicious wines and cocktails too. Can’t wait to come back.

Loved our experience here. The food, service, and atmosphere are all lovely.

Blown away by this spot! Fantastic menu with delicious food and larger portions. Ate with a group of 8 and everyone loved their plate. A few notable orders were the schnitzel, espresso martini, pork shank, short ribs, and brotzeitbrett. Highly recommend!

SO unique and romantic!!! Everything about this place is charming. I cannot wait to come back. The food, atmosphere, service, location, and menu were all incredible. Some of my favourite features of Almresi were the fresh flowers, small details, Almresi story (it is truly so sweet), the attentiveness of the staff, and the authentic German wares you can buy at the front of the restaurant. We loved this place SO much, we are considering naming our future baby “Almresi” if it’s a girl!

A+++ can’t wait to come back.

This was our second time eating here. This time was our 10 year anniversary. The food was absolutely delicious and we felt like we were back in Switzerland. It is nestled at the end of a shopping area surrounded by trees and water. The staff put the experience over the top and I would give 10 stars if possible! We didnt know they closed at 9; we were enjoying ourselves and the food so much. Never once did they make us feel that we needed to leave or hurry through our dinner. We overstayed by 50 minutes and not once did they elude to the overage of time. It was the perfect dinner from food to setting to great staff! Thank you for an amazing anniversary!

Food, drinks, ambience, and service were excellent. Highly recommend.

Einfach wunderbar!! From the ambience, service and food, absolutely awesome. My wife and I dined here for the 1st time yesterday and were highly impressed. All the servers and other staff were either German or Austrian, so it was very nice to be able to order and communicate in my native tongue, surely a great way to add authenticity. We sat outside overlooking the creek which was very romantic. My wife had the salmon and I had the pork, both great and the sides reminded me of Omi's cooking from back home (Berlin). The dessert choices are nice and ours was truly delicious! Followed that with adult coffee and 2 shots of schnapps! The 'Chef/ manager/ owner'is also extremely pleasant! Highly recommend if you're in Vail and looking for a nice Austrian/ German restaurant, you won't be disappointed. All photos taken onsite by myself.

Great dining experience here! We felt we were being transported into the European Alps! From the decoration to the food to the waiters and waitresses in costumes! Just charming!

Austrian food at its finest and worth any effort this place takes to book. Order the Stiegl / Pretzel combo to start, anything as an entree and then the KaisersMarren for dessert. The staff was also excellent.

Enjoyed our Austrian/German/Swiss dinner date night experience. Great waiter, amazing food, cool environment, fast service and just the right amount of adult beverages.

Amazing and creative menu, the Apple Strudel was one of the best I had ever had! Restaurant decorations were exciting as well, would strongly recommend

What a unique, delicious experience at Almresi. Authentic Austrian / German food & drinks, themed staff with excellent service, and a meticulously decorated farm log-cabin interior. Really couldn’t ask for more. Try the skewers/fondue, tons of fun. The prices are reasonable too.

An amazing culinary experience! We had the pretzel appetizer, a pork shank and the gnocchi. It was easily one of the best tasting meals I've ever had. Try the skiwater for a refreshing light drink. Service was phenomenal and the space is beautifully decorated. We will absolutely be back when in town.

This was my favorite restaurant I tried in Vail! The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made you feel like you weren't in Colorado. A bit pricey, but absolutely worth it! We had the Brotzeitbrett, mountain salad & tomato soup for two - plenty of leftovers!

Food was excellent and the service outstanding--our waitress took us in hand, recommending a fantastic wine and helping us with the menu. Decor was very cool! Will definitely go back when in Vail. (Ask to sit in the booth with the color-changing pillow)

I would give more than 5 points for the atmosphere if I could! This is a beautiful place with lovely food and very nice servers! Loved the experience.

Amazing staff and food tasted great! The person who seated us and the waitress were very kind in accommodating to us. The gnocchi and pesto pasta was well done. Definitely recommend for the food and detailed aesthetic.

The best restaurant in the village! We had their dining experience and it was amazing! The food was terrific, great presentation and our server: THE BEST! To much food that we could not take care of all it. But it’s amazing how they mixed 3-courses combining amazing salad with raspberry sauce, meat fondue, pretzel, cheese raclette, and amazing “limoncello” and chocolate halzenut ice cream!!!

Slightly pricey but very delicious. Great draft beer! Also, cutest little place I’ve ever seen. The decor is on point!!
