August 1 is the National Day of Switzerland and a significant holiday in the Swiss calendar, a day of merriment filled with paper lantern parades, bonfires and fireworks.
Last year, the Embassy of Switzerland in Colombo together with Mount Lavinia Hotel brought the celebration of fine Swiss cuisine right to the heart of Colombo with the novel ‘Colombo Swiss House’ - transforming an ordinary urban house into a typical Swiss restaurant with a delectable a la carte menu crafted by the talented Mount Lavinia Hotel chefs featuring Swiss favourites like Raclette and Fondue.
This year, the Mount Lavinia Hotel offers another unique dining concept and brings ‘A Taste of Switzerland’ right to your doorstep with your own personal chef and a curated Swiss set menu. Taking extra precautionary health measures and going the extra mile to serve you in the safest way possible, the Swiss dining menu featuring an array of Swiss dishes will be delivered right to your doorstep for the entire month of August.
Priced at Rs. 9,800 nett per person and serving a minimum of four pax, “A Taste of Switzerland” is an ideal way of trying out fine dining at home.
