We were given the best seat in the house, which was a bay window with breathtaking views of the Matterhorn. Our waitress was very friendly and also joined us for conversation around the fire. She knew everything and ingredients on the menu, which answered many of our 5 course meal questions. After we finished our glasses, we were escorted to the table where we enjoyed a meal that was fresh with locally grown ingredients. Each dish complimented the next and paired well with the accompanied drinks. The dessert was a delightful chocolate finish to a meal well prepared. If I am in Zermatt again, all make sure to add this place to my list.

Michelin one star and well deserved…read more Note: This restaurant shares the same name as the hotel it is located in. Casual and welcoming. The crackling fire in the fireplace sets the mood. Like all Michelin star fine dining restaurants, this is all about sensory dining on a menu designed to focus on the flavor and ingredients of the region. Modernist cuisine plays nicely with the traditional. Note: Prefix menus include a full vegetarian option. Any item can be ordered ala carte as well. Exceptional amuse course in three bites teases you with the taste of mountain herbs to cheese, to pickles and breads. Menu descriptions are deceivingly simple guaranteeing a surprise as each dish is delivered and tasted. The "Risotto"; mushrooms, seven mountain herbs and the incredibly creamy, aged Acquerello rice (gratis from the chef), excellent. Vibrant green in color, mounted with Swiss butter to finish. Very creamy, exploding with familiar and new flavors including an pronounced herb similar in aroma to the original Ricola. Baby mushrooms sautéed in rich butter and aggressively seasoned in contrast to raw sliced white mushrooms adorn the rice. The earthiness of the raw mushrooms and it's lack of richness adds contrast. Such a simple but rich and delicious dish. "Edible Crab", a trio of fresh picked and simply formed rounds of crab topped by mysterious pickled this and that in an intensely flavored soup of green beans and zesty lemon finished with drops of citrus oil. The pleasing medicinal notes of the pickles serve to smooth the briny, oceanic flavor of the crab. So many foreign flavors that blend beautifully together. Outstanding. "Green Beans" - the essence of a bean. The highly concentrated puree with beans in various states of being cooked or pickled. Tomato adds bright acidity to the refreshing, intriguing "soup". Escalope (Venison loin), amazing. Simply seasoned with salt and cooked rare, excellent. Gamey in all the right ways. Extremely tender, dense, juicy and flavorful. It pairs well with the tart mountain cranberry sauce that heightens the pleasing metallic notes and a uber rich butter poached king oyster mushroom that brings meaty decadence. Finally the wiener schnitzel, done the way it should be. Very thin slices of tender veal surrounded by a golden brown, fluffy crust oozing with rich butter flavor. Impressive in its utter simplicity. Petit fours and assortment of incredible Swiss chocolate round out the meal. Exceptionally friendly service lacking any stuffiness. Extremely well chosen wine list focuses on the wines of the country. An excellent meal that showcases the region and what Swiss food can be elevated to.

This is one of the brand new cafeterias, bars and restaurants as this centenarian mega resort has…read moreendeavored to maintain itself as a world-class destination. The Ice complex is located on the upper floor of the Zermatt-Furi gondola terminus and the cable car to Klein Matterhorn, at an altitude of 9,640 feet. The view from the restaurant is virtually unparalleled on the planet. Surrounded by a 360-degree view of the Matterhorn, Klein Matterhorn, the Theodul Glacier and pass into Italy, as well as views of the Gornergrat and the Gorner Glacier, it is a picture-taker's paradise. 24 peaks over 4,000 meters surround the place, virtually the highest peaks in the Alps. You don't have to be a skier/boarder to get there, as there are many tourists that frequent Trockener Steg and some choose to remain at a lower altitude than the lung-challenging 13,000 feet in Klein Matterhorn. The Ice complex has all, a cafeteria, a sit-down restaurant, and a bar. The food is modern European. Superb pastas and Swiss delicacies such as Rosti and Schnitzel. Excellent pastries - but please beware if you're lactose intolerant (like me) if you order Strudel, make sure you tell the waiter to skip the milk sauce or else you'll have your strudel coated with heavy cream sauce. Like most places in Zermatt, it definitely costs extra. But considering the view, the ambiance, and the experience, it is worth it. Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, and congenial customers that are usually finding hard to eat because their jaws are dropped from the spectacular beauty of the entire area.

The prices were lower than pretty much…read moreevery other place we looked at (if still not cheap), and the food was actually flavorful. 3a is the ground floor of a hostel next to the Interlaken Ost Bahnhof, and has both indoor and outdoor seating. What is interesting about the setup is that after you order at the register, they give you a ticket with your order on it, which you take to the counter. The cooks will then make your food right in front of you while you wait, and will ask you if you want more ore less seasoning, more or less vegetables, which type of pasta, etc. Then make sure that you grab your side salad (seems to be included with every meal, but we forgot to grab one from the end of the counter), and dig in. The food is never going to get a Michelin star, but in comparison to the blandness of literally every other meal we had, the pasta dish here was a solid performance. The pasta wasn't over cooked, the vegetables were fresh and cooked enough to heat them without losing their crunch, and the quantity was perfectly decent. If we are back in town, we would absolutely stop here again.

That's the specialty here, and hordes of luncheon guests make their way to this location to savor the specialty.

Of course, the place has much more than just fondue, and serves a full cafeteria menu in addition to Swiss food. Come early or wait.

The waiter seated us, handed us a menu stating that if we wanted to read it in English to scan the QR code, then 2 seconds later asked what food and drinks we wanted to order. We politely asked for a few minutes to review the wine list. He was not that happy and left. Several other couples, French speaking, were seated and were politely attended to. We waited another 10+ mins and the waiter never returned to our table but did attend the other tables. I had to motion to the manager to ask if we could have a waiter return. We ordered a nice bottle on wine and some water and again asked to give us a moment to enjoy some wine before reviewing the dinner menu. They brought our wine and left, without uncorking the wine. We again had to motion for the manager to have someone open our wine. The French speaking tables were served and attended too promptly. We ordered our meal and it was delicious. But it seemed to me that being Americans we would be served differently than the others. While spending ~200 chf I would expect nice service. We were not demanding or rude and said thank you with every visit from the servers but it didn't help much. I understand service in some places may be slower but we were absolutely treated different than others. Just my opinion.
