Rustic setting with barn wood & Alpine murals for Swiss fare
"Long-running as the city’s sole Swiss restaurant since 2017, Stable DC will close for good on Sunday, April 7; it specialized in bubbling cheese raclette, hearty entrees like veal with potato rosti, and mulled wine and operated best as a wintertime destination. The 3,200-square-foot rustic space was styled to look plucked from the Alps—with herb-filled silver flower pots, blankets at wooden tables, red-and-white nods to the Swiss flag, and outdoor dining in ski chalets—and the team amplified its reach with pop-ups at Wundergarten and Nationals Park as well as an outdoor crab boil on H Street during the pandemic. The owners say they may revisit Stable when it gets cold again." - Tierney Plumb
"During brunch, chef David Fritsche’s Swiss-centric menu features fondue grilled cheese on homemade sourdough along with Italian speck, asparagus, and egg ($17)." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb, Tim Ebner
"The apres ski hideaway on H Street makes for an ideal spot to have European fare like raclette, cured and smoke salami Swiss style, and pan seared Atlantic salmon while keeping warm under a plethora of heat lamps." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Swiss-trained chefs David Fritsche and Silvan Kraemer debuted Stable six years ago, and it remains an H Street standby. With ski chalet looks and a Swiss menu, down to the interactive raclette stations and fondue grilled cheese, it’s an ideal spot to warm up with a hot cocktail — like gluehwein (spiced hot red wine) or spiked apple cider — and chase the winter blues away." - Mekita Rivas
"Stable co-owner and beverage manager Silvan Kraemer whipped up a winter drink menu that features hot cocktails with origins connected to his native Switzerland. Sip on those and comforting winter fare inside a private ski chalet all season long. The Swiss staple will also do a fondue pop-up called Little Stable at Nationals Park’s Enchant DC starting November 25." - Vinciane Ngomsi
