Le Gourmand is a place that will not serve a sandwich if the bread is not the freshest. It is an environment where guests can forget the global food chain of freezing bread, preserving it through chemical additions and transporting across continents. There is a different reality and this is exactly where to experience it. Coming in early is probably not a bad idea to ensure that the bread is actually available to make a sandwich, because the chef will refuse to serve otherwise. The vegetable and avocado sandwich is succulent, crispy and bursting with freshest flavors. As the snow falls outside or the sun reflects on summer stones lining the streets of Zermatt, sitting next to the window and enjoying this carefully crafted food is an experience that is cozy, relaxing and without a doubt, memorable.

We spent 3 weeks in this town and got to know many of the vendors and this place was, by far, such a pleasure to come and shop. The family who runs it is very accommodating, speak English ( for all the American and British travelers who come here) and carry so many authentic Italian products. We even purchased several jars of one sauce to take back to CA. One of the best parts of this place is Sunny, the young woman who works there- what a pleasant, helpful and kind person. She will make you want to come back and shop here just to have her help you. I hope she gets some credit for the good work she does there.

The married shop owners, Enriqio and Annarita, are so friendly and were both so patient with us. Annarita's English is good and fluent and I had to do some combination of gesturing and guessing with Enriqio. We ended up coming here three times for salami sandwiches. We told Annarita the rough specifications: focaccia, Milanese salami, a medium cheese and sun dried tomatoes, and they made it happen. It cost about the same as a subway sandwich but we felt we got so much more! Delicious and great service. We will be back!

Walked down to the water front where you have a variety of options. Caffe Lago is located past the ferry landing. A large, covered outdoor seating area is located directly on the water, with an inside located just across the walkway. You can get gelato 'to go' at the entrance, or have a seat, peruse the menu and get a gelato dessert delivered to your table. Our visit, although late in the afternoon, was for a light lunch. The menu includes a number of sandwiches. I went for the 'toast' of smoked salmon while my SO got a tuna sandwich; plus a beer and a glass of wine. It was a warm sunny day on our visit, and the breeze off the lake was wonderful. The ferry going by sometimes sent a whiff of diesel your way, but that was brief and infrequent. There are signs in the restaurant asking that you NOT feed the birds. They are cute little things, but boy are they aggressive! Not at all shy, a couple of birds came to rest on the ledge next to our lake side table to check out the situation as we sat. Next thing we know, they are hopping up onto the table looking for a treat. Being fans of German beer, the Augustiner was a very welcome surprise and being served in an official Augustiner mug really made my SO's day! Unfortunately, my glass of red wine was not a well received. It tasted like the wine bottle had been opened at least a day prior (most likely a bit longer) and was not at all enjoyable. Once the sandwiches arrived, the birds were up on the table hopping right up to the side of the plate. We had to keep our eyes on these little cuties. The smoked salmon toast is a huge sandwich (to me). The salmon was good quality, with soft cheese contrasting the dry toast, the cucumber refreshing, the tomato cool and juicy. A bit of the cheese spilled out of my sandwich onto the plate and as I used both hands to bring the sandwich to my mouth, a bird swooped under my arms, scooped up the cheese, and landed on the ledge to savor his victory! These birds are not kidding. The tuna is plain flaked tuna spread over a bed of 'gentle' lettuce on a nice soft sandwich roll, topped with tomato and finished with a bit of mayo. We both enjoyed our selections and were quite full when done. Customer service here is good. Location, right on the lake is also good. The food options are limited, and you may have to keep an eye on the feathered friends trying to join you for lunch, but all in all, I would recommend this 'fuori' location for the service and location.
