Bite Me!

With all the snow we had a few weeks ago, what could be more appropriate than a nice fondue? I’d been eyeing up St Moritz for some time, intrigued by its retro chalet-style appearance and cheese-heavy menu, and it proved to be just my sort of place. The décor is fabulously kitsch, with alphorns and cowbells aplenty, and the food was just as pleasing – we went for a fondue with white wine and tomato, served with bread and new potatoes. It was perfect, and there was enough of it to satisfy even my enormous appetite. With the snow falling outside, and a stomach full of solidifying gruyere, it’s the closest I’m likely to come to a skiing holiday this year, and I enjoyed it very much.
