Raclette Brothers' first permanent site launches in Pop Brixton
Aptly named, Alpes will serve food and drink inspired by the Alps region.
Co-founders Steve and Jamie have created a menu that pays homage to British and European suppliers combined, showcasing traditional dishes from the alpine region as well as some creative twists on the classics.
Alpes will be serving raclette on a traditional machine with the front of house team scraping melted cheese at the table in front of customers. Fondues are made to share with a choice of traditional, blue cheese and British variations, and side dishes with unlimited refills of roast potatoes, fries, salad, pickles and baguette. The rest of the menu features bar snacks and small plates alongside charcuterie and cheese from an exclusive list of producers from the UK and across Europe.
Steve and Jamie are working with Sam Wilkin (AKA Cellarman) to hand-pick suppliers from both the UK and the alpine regions of France, Italy, Switzerland and Austria. Sharing platters of cheese and charcuterie will come from the likes of Borough Market’s own Cannon & Cannon cured meats as well as Neal’s Yard, Alsop & Walker, Comté from Borough Cheese Co, and Swiss artisan cheese from Jumi, whilst meat will be sourced from H.G. Walter.
Herbs and edible flowers used in the dishes as well as the cocktail list will be grown on Steve and Jamie’s very own allotment in London’s Brockwell Park.
Wines will be sourced from a variety of merchants including independent companies such as Red Squirrel and Boutinot, as well as some more traditional choices, and regular wine tasting events every Monday will showcase the restaurant’s list with paired cheeses from a changing selection.
