Description

[edit]

Swiss Hibiscus serves European cuisine on 14th Avenue, near Alberta Street, in northeast Portland's King neighborhood. Sources have described the restaurant as Alpine, Swiss,[3] and "Hawaii meets Switzerland".[4] The interior features Hawaiian decor.[5] The menu has included sautéed mushrooms, lentil and onion soups,[3] paprika schnitzel served in a mushroom cream sauce, émincé zurichoise,[6] fondue,[7][8] goulash, spätzle,[9] and a vegan version of rösti (Swiss hash brown pancake).[10] For Christmas dinner, the restaurant has served roast goose, tournedos (beef tenderloin) or salmon.[11]
