• Contemporary European • Southeast Portland

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!

Seriously, one of the best restaurant meals I’ve ever had. We shared apps, small plates, and entrees, (plus a couple desserts) and I can’t tell you what was the best dish, or even the top 2 or 3. All were wonderful. Need a complaint? The wine was so-so and the guys at the next table wore smelly cologne. But the food was imaginative, dynamic and delicious. Star anise in onion soup. A new requirement in my house!

I came here with a friend because we wanted to try something different and neither of us really knew what to expect. The waiter was so nice and patient explaining what everything was and answering our questions. And the food was delicious!!! We were already planning what we wanted to get next time we come

My wife and I go every year for her birthday, which is on Christmas Day. So we visit the Ringside a few days before her birthday. It is always the most stellar experience for her. We absolutely love the service. The food is pure class, so delicious. We love the elegance of the place and the community vibe, having been open since 1944. It is her favorite gift for her birthday month.♥️😀
