    Swiss Chalet Serves a Mountain of Meals for Dairy-Free Diners

    0
    By Alisa Fleming on January 30, 2023 Dining Out, Suggested Restaurants, U.S. Restaurants

    Updated January 2023! Swiss Chalet is a casual alpine-style restaurant chain with locations dotted all over Canada. It is affiliated with the Canadian fast food chain Harvey’s, but their restaurants have a cozier family-style appeal for eating in, if desired. They also offer takeout and delivery. And as you can see below, their menu is loaded with quite a few naturally dairy-free options.They were one of the first to introduce an allergen guide, over thirty years ago, and are still well-loved for their dairy-free menu items, allergy-friendly staff, and reasonably-priced menu.

    Swiss Chalet Dairy-Free Menu Guide with Vegan Options - an alpine-style Canadian restaurant chain that's quite allergy-friendly.

    Dairy-Free Menu Guide to Swiss Chalet

    Be aware of special order requirements in parentheses () next to the menu items, and see the Heads Up notes to help fill in the blanks.

    Other Allergen & Dietary Notes: We have been told that their chicken is prepared on a dairy-free and gluten-free work surface. But of course, check with the manager at your location if this is important for you. For vegan options, see the Vegan Menu Guide at the bottom of this post.

    Starters

    • Chalet Rotisserie Chicken Soup (with crackers)
    • Chicken Wings (no ranch)
    • Garden Salad (see Dressing Options below)

    Dairy-Free Dressing Options: Balsamic Vinaigrette, Fat-Free Italian Dressing, Chalet House Dressing

    Heads Up! The Chicken Spring Rolls at Swiss Chalet contain milk.

    Burgers, Sandwiches, and Wraps

    • Classic Hamburger
    • Crispy Chicken Sandwich
    • Lightlife Veggie Burger
    • Nashville Hot Crispy Chicken Sandwich (limited time)
    • Roast Beef Sandwich (no creamed horseradish)
    • Rotisserie Chicken Club Wrap (no cheese)
    • Rotisserie Chicken on a Bun
    • Smoky BBQ Rib Sandwich (no garlic spread)
    • Southern Canuck (no cheese)

    Heads Up! At last check, the buns at Swiss Chalet were made without milk. But make sure to double check that the bun/bread your burger or sandwich is served on is dairy free. Some of their breads do contain milk, and locations can take liberties in sourcing bread.

    More Mains

    • BBQ Ribs (no sides or with dairy-free sides)
    • Crispy Chicken Tenders (with dairy-free sauce)
    • Double Leg Rotisserie Chicken Dinner (no butter)
    • Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders (limited time)
    • Nashville Hot Wings (limited time)
    • Nashville Hot Wing Dinner (limited time)
    • Roast Beef (no creamed horseradish, with dairy-free sauces and sides)
    • Rotisserie Chicken (no sides or with dairy-free sides)
    • Rotisserie Chicken Dinner (with Dinner Roll & Chalet Sauce; no butter)
    • Wing Dinner

    Heads Up! The allergen menu for Swiss Chalet is a bit confusing with their chicken tenders and wings. But we verified with corporate that all of their Chicken Tenders and Chicken Wings are made without milk.

    Bundles

    • Winter Warm Up Bundle – Quarter Chicken & Chicken Noodle Soup Bowl (seasonal)

    Kids Meals

    • Kids Quarter Chicken Dinner
    • Kids Chicken Tenderz & Dip

    Heads Up! Sorry kids, the Mini Burgers (even without cheese), do contain milk. But they can enjoy the Classic Hamburger. And be sure to double check on the Tenderz. Swiss Chalet now lists these as dairy-free, but their regular tenders are still listed as containing milk. We are verifying.

    Sides

    • Bacon Strips
    • Creamy Coleslaw
    • Dinner Roll
    • Fries, Crispy
    • Fries, Fresh Cut
    • Fries, Seasoned
    • Fries, Sweet Potato
    • Garden Side Salad (see Dressing Options under Starters above)
    • Market Vegetables
    • Seasoned Rice Pilaf

    Special Order: You can order the Baked Potato sans toppings, and request other dairy-free extras, dressings, seasonings, or sauces as desired.

    Heads Up! The Garlic Green Beans and Onion Rings at Swiss Chalet do contain milk.

    Sauces

    • Chalet BBQ Sauce
    • Chalet Sauce
    • Chalet Dipping Sauce
    • Chalet Seasoned Mayo
    • Diana’s Thai Sauce
    • Garlic Mesquite Mayo
    • Honey Buffalo Sauce
    • Honey Garlic Sauce
    • Mayonnaise
    • Nashville Hot Glaze
    • Plum Sauce
    • Smokey BBQ Sauce
    • Wing Sauces (Mild, Medium, and Hot)

    Heads Up! The Gravy at Swiss Chalet does contain milk.

    Dessert

    • Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies (where available)

    Heads Up! They used to offer dairy-free pies, but it seems Swiss Chalet has changed their recipes.

    Swiss Chalet Vegan Menu Guide

    The following are made without dairy, egg, and presumably without animal ingredients, but verify before ordering if concerned about honey or other additives.

    • Dinner Roll
    • Fresh Cut Fries
    • Market Vegetables
    • Seasoned Rice Pilaf
    • Wing Sauces (Mild, Medium, and Hot)
    • Smokey BBQ Sauce

    Menus, ingredients, kitchen procedures, management, food sourcing, and restaurant protocols are subject to change at any time. Always read the menu and discuss your dietary needs with the staff before ordering. Make sure they can accommodate your situation. This post is for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as advice.

    There is always a risk for potential cross-contamination of allergens in any commercial kitchen. If cross-contamination is an issue for you, always speak with the manager to ensure that your meal can be safely prepared. Listings here do not guarantee that a restaurant is safe enough for your individual needs. Only you can make that decision.

    Each location of a chain restaurant has different management and staff, and some might have different owners. This means differences in processes, ingredients used, menu options, and food sourcing can occur. Always verify the safety of your order for your needs at your current location.
