A Taste of the Alps in the Heart of London
This festive season, Chucs Restaurants are bringing the enchanting charm of Europe’s most luxurious ski resorts to the heart of London. Inspired by the iconic Alpine destinations of Chamonix, Courchevel and Cortina D’Ampezzo, all Chucs locations will transform into cosy havens of wintertime elegance, in partnership with Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, Dr. Vranjes, and the iconic British cheese supplier Paxton & Whitfield. With Alpine-inspired fondue specials, seasonal delicacies, and signature cocktails, Chucs invites you to indulge in the magic of the mountains—no lift pass required.
Leading the festivities, Chucs Belgravia will undergo a dazzling transformation into a chic winter wonderland straight out of the Alps. Guests can sip on warming drinks and exclusive cocktails crafted with Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, inspired by Dr. Vranjes’ scents, while soaking up the elegant Alpine-themed décor. The festive spirit will be palpable, with Dr. Vranjes’ exclusive Albero Di Natale fragrance—a warm blend of holiday spices—wafting through the air, evoking memories of cosy firesides and snow-capped peaks.
Chucs’ warming Alpine specials menu has been created in partnership with the iconic British cheese supplier Paxton & Whitfield, designed to keep you warm during the winter months. Cheesy specials include the Chucs’ Classic Cheese Fondue (£26pp, min. 2 persons)—served with bread, saucisson, cornichons, and green salad—a must-try seasonal centrepiece that captures the essence of the Alps, Tartiflette (£12/£18)—a rich blend of Alsace bacon and Reblochon cheese available as a starter or main—and a decadent Pistachio Tiramisu (£8), featuring pistachio mascarpone cream, caramelised pistachios, and a coffee syrup-soaked savoiardi biscuit.
Each Chucs location will offer a unique hero cocktail inspired by Dr. Vranjes’ artisanal fragrances:
Belgravia: Camilla – Inspired by the Dr Viajanes Ginger Lime fragrance, with Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, chamomile-infused Rojo Rooster Tequila, lime and honey.

In addition to the hero serves, guests at all Chucs restaurants can enjoy signature Italicus cocktails like the Portofino Breeze (Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, basil-infused Ketel One Vodka, apple, lime, orange blossom, egg white), Chalet (Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, Malfy Gin Originale, green chartreuse, lime) and the celebratory Italicus Sgroppino (Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, prosecco, lemon sorbet).
