Alpinist and the Goat

Alpinist & the Goat is a fondue and grill restaurant at 204 W Colorado Ave in Telluride, serving Swiss alpine cuisine with Swiss, Basque, French and Italian influences. The menu centers on cheese fondues made with imported European cheeses, plus raclette melted on a hot stone, cheese and charcuterie boards, grilled filet mignon and salmon, and mussels in a broth with ciabatta. Chocolate fondue is on the dessert menu.

The restaurant says it was created by a longtime local whose father is a Belgian chef. Cocktails are built around house-made liqueurs, including blood orange, ginger and pomegranate, and there is a short beer list. Dine-in, takeout, delivery, catering and online reservations are available, and the website mentions three separate dining rooms.
