Description:

The Htte Swiss Restaurant was founded in Helvetia in the 1960s by Eleanor Mailloux and Delores Bagerly. Mailloux took sole ownership of the restaurant in 1976, and it is now owned by a collective of family members. The Htte is still open every day and functions as a community gathering place and ad hoc museum. The restaurant offers mostly Swiss-German fare, with menu items such as rosti, veal and pork bratwurst, parsley potatoes, sauerkraut, house made sausage, homemade bread, and sauerbraten (sour beef). The sampler plate includes veal and pork bratwurst, sausage, parsley potatoes, green beans, curry chicken, homemade bread, sauerkraut, pickled pineapple, Helvetia cheese, and peach cobbler.Visit the Httes facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/The-H%C3%BCtte-Restaurant-164869667005759Read more about the Htte in Emily Hilliards articles for the Southern Foodways Alliance: https://www.southernfoodways.org/something-good-from-helvetia/NPRs The Salt: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/02/17/386970143/swiss-village-west-virginia-mardi-gras-feast-fasnachtAnd The Bitter Southerner:https://bittersoutherner.com/my-year-in-helvetia-west-virginiaAlso see the Helvetia Foodways Oral History Project conducted by the West Virginia Folklife Program in partnership with the Southern Foodways Alliance: https://www.southernfoodways.org/oral-history/helvetia-west-virginia/
