Flambe, Restaurant Spycher – Zermatt, Switzerland
The interior of the Restaurant Spycher was rustic and restrained — it didn’t look upscale in a fancy way. However, it had the feel of a place with a long history and tradition, unlike the hip and modern Schweitzerhof Kitchen we experienced the night before.
I saw a couple of fiery performances at other tables, and they looked intriguing. The beef flambe was a dish for two, so my wife and I shared it. I later found out that Restaurant Spycher presents itself as a flambe and grill restaurant — perfect.
Flambe is a cooking procedure in which alcohol is added to a hot pan to create a burst of flames. It reduces the alcoholic content while keeping the flavors of the liquor.
As you can see, our main dish is basic meat and potatoes, literally. It was prepared to perfection.
