When it comes to cozy gatherings during the colder seasons, raclette is the ultimate dish to share. This is why we decided to bring this mountain tradition right to your forest cabin with our specially curated raclette baskets in both our forest villages.
The delicious combination of cheese and charcuterie from our local suppliers is the ideal comfort food after spending the day exploring the outdoors. But you can also use our raclette baskets as a canvas to go a bit wilder and experiment with unique and original raclette recipes that will elevate your raclette experience!
Start with the essentials, but add a local twist! That is with this in mind that we have created the Nutchel signature raclette in both our forest villages. Together with our local producers, we have combined the best of Alsatian and Ardennes products to bring you a hearty raclette basket, which can be declined in vegetarian and kids’ versions.
The best part about it, is that you get to eat it in the most cozy atmosphere : in a cabin in the woods, surrounded by your loved ones and nature. You don’t even need to bring your own raclette device: we will provide you with a raclette set to melt your cheese with tea light candles.

Take inspiration from Nutchel’s woodland surroundings and infuse your raclette with the scents of the forest. Gather wild mushrooms from the surrounding areas (or pick some up from local markets), and sauté them with garlic and herbs like thyme and rosemary. The addition of these forest flavors pairs beautifully with the melted cheese, offering a woodsy, gourmet spin on the classic dish.
Looking for a sweet and savory contrast? This recipe brings together the richness of raclette cheese with the tart sweetness of spiced apples. Thinly slice local apples, sauté them with a hint of cinnamon and a touch of brown sugar on the gas stove in your cabin's kitchen. On your small raclette pan, grill some of the charcuterie and layer it with the apple on your plate. Pour the melted raclette cheese on top of the crispy apples and charcuterie for a sensational combination of sweet and savory flavors that will surprise your taste buds.
For those seeking a lighter option, you can still enjoy the indulgence of raclette with a vegetarian twist. We offer a vegetarian version of the raclette so you don’t get meat in the first place, to which you could add complementary veggies. On the terrace of your cabin in the woods, you will find a gas barbecue where you can roast local root vegetables to add a bit of colors in your cheesy meal, such as parsnips, turnips and carrots. And since the raclette-season is never really over, you could also use seasonal veggies in summer too, with zucchini, bell peppers or eggplants. You definitely don’t need to be a meat-lover to enjoy a tasty raclette at Nutchel!
For the adventurous foodie, add some spice toyour Nutchel raclette by incorporating chorizo, mustard and a variety of pickles. The smoky heat of the chorizo blends wonderfully with the creamy cheese, while the tangy pickles cut through the richness for a sharp, zesty kick. This combination is ideal for anyone who loves bold flavors.
