The best restaurants in Zermatt
The surprise menu at After Seven is not to be missed. The inspiring modern creations, accompanied by the right wine, become a gastronomic work of art that will be remembered for a long time. The atmosphere in the restaurant is magical.
It is spectacular to be able to enjoy the wonderful Italian cuisine of Campania during the Zermatt winter. When the red sun slowly sinks behind the Matterhorn or the "Horu" shines white against a blue sky, sophisticated Mediterranean creations delight the guests at Ristorante Capri.
Each dish is also a veritable feast for the eyes, perfectly combined from the finest ingredients. The seven-course menus are offered with the appropriate wine accompaniment. Speaking of the wine list, the Valais specialties are arranged by grape variety for a perfect overview.
Omnia offers - in addition to classics such as raclette and Wiener schnitzel - creative light vegetable cuisine, which can be supplemented with meat, fish or other vegetarian delicacies depending on your mood. Wonderful wine selection!
Outside, the romantic mountain world of Zermatt, inside, cosmopolitan Parisian charm. Géraldine Géroué spoils her guests with gourmet creations: the menu features delicacies such as lobster and foie gras, but also simpler dishes with an international touch.
This robust mountain inn is located at 2100 metres. Even though the Vrony burger is the star in the restaurant because of the delicious sauce alone, Chez Vrony still produces its own cheese and dried meat. The cattle feed only on alpine grass and hay.
Chic and cozy is the restaurant Julen. The bar offers wine specialties from the region and in the restaurant the kitchen brigade spoils with alpine specialties and international classics. The dried meat plate and the fillet of beef matured in the hay are wonderful.
Here, romantic souls with a refined palate get their money's worth. Crustaceans, fish or the best pieces from the Riffelalp cow are prepared with great attention to detail. For vegans (and curious carnivores) an exciting, seasonal menu is created.
The chalet not far from the Furi mountain station exudes pure Alpine charm. The modern international cuisine is delightfully unfussy. From sourdough bread with butter to classic Spanish croquetas and home-aged pastrami, the range of delicacies is extensive.
The Brasserie in the heart of Zermatt offers an exciting international cuisine that focuses on locally sourced ingredients. The cooking here is rich in finesse and with great attention to detail. The exciting wine list represents the who's who of Swiss winemakers.
This is the place for fine dining and celebrations. Host Dan Daniell is a true Zermatt jack-of-all-trades who composes, performs, forges rhymes and writes cookbooks for children. The lamb grilled on an open fire is a must, Zermatt local colour included.
The cuisine at La Muña focuses on refined dishes with short preparation times. The contrasts of textures are celebrated. Here, melt-in-the-mouth meets light and raw meets cooked. Much attention is paid to spices for international cuisine.
Restaurant 1818 is located in one of the oldest buildings in Zermatt. Modern design is combined here with historical building fabric to form a harmonious whole. Vegetables and meat are cooked to perfection on the 350-degree embers of the Josper charcoal grill.
This lovely hideaway with a fantastic view of the Horu comes very close to the idea of paradise. Fresh mountain air makes you hungry and this is satisfied here with the best alpine cuisine. Cheese fondue, veal paillard and Kaiserschmarren awaken the spirits.
Black-nosed sheep and Eringer cows are a passion of the Julen family. The animals that graze on the lush Zermatt meadows provide a large part of the basic products for the authentic alpine cuisine at Restaurant Im Hof. The menus are adapted with seasonal ingredients.
In the Schäferstube, guests enjoy pure hut charm and can dive deep into the gastronomic history of the Valais. Raclette, fondue and specialties of lamb are complemented with dishes of world cuisine. The dessert menu is worth a sweet sin.
In the cosy chalets or on the large sun terrace, guests enjoy traditional dishes from the region or indulge in Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Wines from Switzerland and all over the world are served with it.
Marie's Deli is the place to go in Zermatt for foodies. The homemade delicacies are used as ingredients for the creative hearty dishes, but can also be taken home as a gastronomic souvenir. Legendarily good is the weekend brunch.
The 50-kilometre rule is observed here; the ingredients for the creative three-course menus come from this radius. Even the wine list, a vinophile's treasure, adheres to the 50-kilometre radius and offers top Valais wines at very fairly calculated prices.
