5 stars! Love this place. Warm and inviting and the staff is super nice and attentive. Fondue is three cheeses and we had it with apricots and dried meat. Gooey and flavorful. I only wish I could also have Raclette but our waiter said it's too much cheese for one night. So I'm coming back tomorrow. read more

If you're looking for amazing fondue with great wine pairings look no further! The fondue was delicious and arrived to the table very quickly. We were seated upstairs immediately with no reservation, and the whole place seems to have been renovated. I would recommend this place and visit again if given the chance. read more

I loved Du Pont! My boyfriend and I traveled to Zermatt for the first time and we decided to eat here! We ate on the lower level. The food was amazing! Our waitress was lovely and humorous as well! The restaurant was clean and beautifully decorated in traditional Swiss style! I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Du Pont and if I ever travel back to Zermatt, I will absolutely be going back to Du Pont! read more

Came here for dinner and left feeling underwhelmed. The vibe was more tourist trap than cozy Alpine spot. We were in and out in about 30 minutes, which felt rushed for a sit-down dinner in Zermatt. The host brought over what looked like plain tap water, but it turned out to be 10 CHF for a liter. Wine was okay, pasta was average -- nothing memorable -- yet the prices suggested otherwise. Service was fine overall, but at the end the server directly asked for a tip, which felt a bit off given the experience. For the same money, there are much better dinner options in Zermatt. read more

Came here for some fondue!! This is the oldest restaurant in zermatt and has recently been renovated and is such a cozy place. The fondue was delicious and came with bread and potatoes but the real star of the show was the Toblerone chocolate mousse, which we had a couple of other places but this one stole the show! The service was also incredible! read more

Without fail, I will return to this spot every time I visit Zermatt! The service and ambiance make it a must-visit! It is the oldest restaurant in Zermatt and a beautiful spot to people-watch, especially as the sun goes down. We were seated right away and received fantastic service. Our server (Perry) literally gave me the jacket off his back because he thought I looked cold and didn't believe me when I said I was fine (I wasn't, lol). Later, he came back with a jacket for my fiance, too. Perry was hilarious and very attentive. He also gave us a shot of their Alpine vodka to try and recommendations for late-night drinks afterward! We ordered the Fondue Du Pont which is a must-try when visiting Switzerland. It came with fresh bread and potatoes. The portion was for 2 people but 4 could've easily shared it. We had their house white wine which was delicious - bonus points for its hilarious name, "Doggystyle". The staff were all super friendly, and Perry is one of the best servers we've ever had! We will 100% be coming back! read more

We seated ourselves at the empty seats available outdoors. They were short staffed and the wait times were a bit longer than expected. We ordered a salad and snails for the evening. The meals took a bit to arrive. They were alright. How much better can a a salad get! However for $12 the portion of the salad seemed meager. Snails were okay. read more

Awesome food and service. It's a Mom and Pop kind of place. Comfort food which is great after a hard day on the slopes. Get the melted Raclette with potato and pickles appetizer. The locals love this and we saw tons of this leave the kitchen. We opted for the ribeye with Demi glacé. Very good. The staff works SO hard to pull this off every night.

Came here twice for lunch during our stay in close-by Randa. Atmosphere was very warm and cosy. Staff helpful, friendly and not rushing. We sat down at a table in the section on the right side of the restaurant. Nice wooden tables and benches. Really a Skihütten-Feeling. Had a local cheese and meat (cold cuts) plate with potatoes on the side. Some of the house wine with. And a plate of snails, a specialty here. The other day snails again (that's the good stuff) and a fully loaded Rösti with all the works (cheese, ham and two eggs). And that was probably the best Rösti I've ever had in any restaurant. A big load, fair for the price and really fills you up. The cheese was probably Raclette cheese, very nice. Prices were really fair for Zermatt, the place is really wonderful. It's the oldest restaurant in Zermatt and it feels like home and the staff did their part to make us feel welcome and comfortable. The house wine wasn't that great though. But as a whole experience highly recommended. We will be back. read more

OMG what a rip off! Big Warning. Fondue they say 42.00 Swiss francs for fondue for 2 but charged us 84.00! For cheese! Then 8 CHP for tap water. That's like 10 bucks! We also saw them pouring one kind of wine in a bottle into another and did I say they ONLY TAKE CASH? Another customer freaked out as well as we were leaving. We feel so ripped off! read more

Great fondue! Definitely get the version with herbs. The menu says pricer per person, indicating if you want to share, this is what each person pays but this is NOT accurate. Just pay for 1 fondue ($24) and share it amongst 4 people. There will be enough yummy cheese, bread and potatoes to share. We also ordered a meat plate which was excellent. These two things fed 2 adults and two kids. This place has a lot of history and is the oldest restaurant in Zermatt. The owner comes around and makes sure you're taken care of. And if you're lucky, he'll show you his amazing photos of the Matterhorn. Juice and sodas were $4 Francs. Gratuity is included. We loved this place. read more

I got the classic fondue by myself. It was my first time and I was a little disappointed until the waitress noticed the burner wasn't hot enough and replaced it. The waitress was also kind enough to offer blankets if needed because I was sitting outside and it was starting to get chilly that evening. read more

This restaurant refused credit payment because $28.80 CHF "was not enough" and then when we only had a €50 to pay they insisted on a 1-1 conversation (for the whole transaction) which resulted in me losing €6. After the transaction when I was discussing with my wife how we just short changed they told the table next to us, "Don't worry, it doesn't matter, they are Americans." In Italian and which would appear that they assumed I didn't understand the exchange rate or Italian both of which were underestimating my ability. I have also included a photo of the raclette we were served. It's a pretty sad sight and hard to believe you could mess up melted cheese My recommendation is that you should avoid this establishment at all costs due to my firsthand and relevant experience. read more

I enjoyed this restaurant during my stay in Zermatt. The atmosphere felt authentic- they say it's the oldest restaurant in town. Loved that. I ordered fondue and draft beer. This was my first fondue in Switzerland, so it got bonus points for the novelty. I had even better fondue with more cheeses and liquor at other places outside Zermatt, but I had no complaints here. They also served the fondue with both bread and potatoes, which I enjoyed. My waitress was the star of the show. She didn't speak English, but she was so friendly, and she seemed happy to have my company. She'd float between tables talking up anyone who spoke the language (Italian and German, I think). We had a pleasant exchange as we both spoke just enough Spanish for me to explain that I enjoyed the meal and that she was very kind. No WiFi in the restaurant, but come on. You're not in Zermatt to check Instagram. Social media will be waiting for you at your room. I enjoyed actually being present in the moment. I'd come back for the ambience and to try more food on the menu. read more

Great food! Beautiful and clean! Great service. If you come to Zermatt you must come here!

The fondue for one? For ONE? Girl, that's big enough for two. Everything in Switzerland is so expensive so this 23chf fondue for one can easily be stretched for two. It comes with bread and potatoes. I ordered a "small sausage" and our waitress was pretty rude when I asked how small was small. She didn't know and was condescending. Whatever. I ordered the damn sausage. The sausage came with two links and each were about 6 inches. My friend got some type of skillet potato thing which looked really good and a better bang for your buck if you ask me. Oh NO WIFI if you're looking for a place to soak up some WiFi while traveling, go next door. read more

Amazing service. The best beer and service i have ever had. If you're an American come and enjoy a fresh local beer

Last night, our foursome enjoyed a tasty dinner at this local's favorite! Thank goodness our concierge made us a reservation because it is a small restaurant and due to it's success, it quickly fills up. Three of us shared the cheese fondue with herbs, the plate of mixed dried meats, the rosti with ham and cheese, and a green salad (which also came with dried meat). If we had to do over again, we would have skipped the plate of mixed dried meats so that we had room in our bellies to enjoy a dessert!! Getting back to the fondue, and rosti, though, it was all melt in your mouth cheese flavors. The waitress was kind enough to show us how to eat the potatoes with our fondue. She was very sweet and very attentive. The fourth in our group ordered the veal sausage meal, as he doesn't enjoy cheese or fondue like the rest of our party. He was equally pleased with his selection. We all agreed it was a good choice coming to this restaurant in our very short time in Zermatt! To put it simply, the meal was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect! read more

Recommended to us as the best fondue in Zermatt. We got there early (6 pm) and they moved another guest to accommodate our party of six. The food and drinks came quickly. But no one came back to ask for refills or check on us the rest of the night. Would have ordered more to eat. The best dish of the table was the Rotti (potatoes) with ham, cheese and eggs. read more

I found Restaurant du Pont to be charming. They have a couple outdoor tables but most of the seating is inside, part of the restaurant is sunk in so I was eye level with the street. The interior is wood with low hanging lanterns over the tables. The menu contains traditional Swiss fare including fondue ( the large party at the near by table had the cheese which came with bread and potatoes and seemed to enjoy it). I had the Rosti with cheese and ham. It came out in the pan with bubbling cheese. This was my first experience with this dish and thought it was great. The edge potatoes had a crispness and the interior were soft. The portions are a good size and the price is a bit lower than many of the surrounding restaurants. read more

If you're looking for authentic Swiss food, this is the place to go. Great herb fondue (definitely enough for 2 or 3 to share). Also got veal sausage and Frankfurt, both good but the fondue is the star of the show here. Would recommend making reservations! We didn't and ended up sharing a table with another couple which was no big deal read more

Went here in vacation last year, just reminiscing on how delicious this place was. The fondue was the best I've ever had. Even across the whole Swiss it was the best. I finished my last meal here as well. Will remember it for a lifetime read more

The Fondue DuPont was excellent. Came here with my son and when ordering was told the fondue for two is a lot of food so we went with the fondue for one. Which was fine because we wanted to try the rosti. We also tried the gluwein (even though it was summer). Everything was delicious. Our waiter is the grandson of the owner (the nice old man other reviews speak of). Turns out his grandfather learned how to make cheese when he was a young boy. The restaurant has their own cheese cellar. Finished our meal with apple strudel. All in all a very fine meal at a very good price. Highly recommended. read more

Delicious and authentic! This place is always crowded year-round for a reason. The interior is very cozy and cute, I believe it is the oldest restaurant in Zermatt (still open). Cheese is the name of the game here - varying types of fondue, raclette and Käseschnitte - make sure you get one of these items, as you can tell by the smell, that is their specialty! They have a great dried meat plate to start with. The cheese fondue comes with jacket potatoes AND bread - the potatoes are good, but a bit too heavy for me. You can get bread instead they are happy to supply it. The Fondue du Pont has nice herbs to it, you can also get a fondue to share with several or also even for one! The fondue for one (along with the rest of their food) is VERY generously portioned. The Käseschnitte is delicious - very heavy but very good. It comes with an egg on top (not sure if it is mentioned in the English menu, but it comes with the egg) I like the egg on it but if you don't then be sure to ask for no egg. I never had their raclette but I would imagine it is delicious like everything else! Come here after a day of skiing to warm up your belly with a delicious cheesey meal! We come here every year! read more
