Swiss House is a restaurant in Al Madinah Al Munawwarah, Saudi Arabia, serving American and Mexican dishes alongside a selection of cheese-focused meals. It has several dining areas with both indoor and outdoor seating, set up to accommodate small groups and larger tables alike.

Swiss House brings American and Mexican cooking to a city known mostly for religious pilgrimage, making it a meeting point for visitors from many backgrounds. Diners here can try dishes that are rarely found elsewhere in the area.
The restaurant sits in a central part of the city and is easy to reach for those already moving around the area. It stays open late into the evening, so visitors can plan a meal there at different points in the day.
