This review is for the restaurant part of the Hotel Derby. We went in there in the middle of a…read moresnow storm after looking at a very appetizing menu that included seafood, pasta dishes, meats and poultry. And once we went inside, we had a virtual army of waiters tending to us. My partner had the prawn risotto and I had the Sea Bass Mediterranean style, which the server asks the guest whether it should be served whole or filleted. I am not a fan of cooked fish heads so I asked for a filleted bass from the kitchen... yeah I'm chicken.... We accompanied the meal with a very good Valais wine, just to ensure we were paying homage to the local culture. The entire meal was very, very good, and the service was excellent. It isn't cheap, but worth it. There is also a large bar area where a couple of dozen people were seated and having a grand old time. The only sad occurrence was not the restaurant's fault but if any, it enhanced my liking for the place. An apparently nuveau rich Russian family with what was obviously an extremely low level of sophistication, became wildly upset over a half a percent mistake in the conversion between Euros and Swiss Francs and they started a one-man scandal, yelling and screaming at the waiter in the middle of the restaurant. The table next to them, obviously a French group, were so aghast that they covered their faces in disgust. But the waiter maintained his composure and the manager quickly dissuaded the crisis. The class was definitely on the Swiss side...

I have to say we were very happy with our dinners at the Derby. Zermatt is an expensive place to…read moreeat. Our tour guide recommended this place. Four of us had chicken dish, lasagna, and a Wiener schnitzel. All of us were very pleased with the quality of food as well as the serving size. They provided tap water and bread as well at no extra cost. They were gracious and provided great service.

Our server Christian was very friendly and also funny, and helped recommend some good beers for us and some items from the menu, including the steak, the steak tartare, and the pasta. FOOD The pasta of the day was a ricotta ravioli with a lemon zest which was really stunning and we hadn't had anything like that before. All the food was excellent quality and the asparagus on the side was very fresh as well. The dessert is also generously sized, the whiskey ice cream is really good by itself or served with coffee which really gave it an extra kick. We really enjoyed this place and would recommend it for anybody who's passing by.

Zweisimmen was one of the stops along the Golden Pass route. Since my boyfriend and I had some time…read moreto kill, we decided to look for a place to have small bites/snacks. Google showed us some good reviews for Brasserie zur Simme, so that's what we went with. They weren't serving lunch yet, so we ordered off the snack menu. We had the cured meat plate with cheese and marinated olives. The meat was great - not overly salty or dry. But halfway through, we realized that they forgot the cheese. So we asked them about it and they brought out a plate of it. I'm glad we asked because it was some of the best cheese that we had in Switzerland. We also ordered the fruit cake with fresh whipped cream. I wasn't a huge fan because I don't like cooked fruit, and it was a little too sweet for my taste, but my boyfriend enjoyed it. I did like the fresh whipped cream though. Also worth noting is that there were also bees everywhere (inside too, since they left the doors open - this was in September), so that took away from the dining experience. It's difficult to enjoy a meal when you're trying to avoid getting stung every five minutes or so. Service was a tad slow.

Excellent pizza. We had just arrived at the nearby Hotel Kernen and were desperate to find…read moresomething to eat -- most other places in town were closed. We found Da Corrado, were warmly welcomed by the staff, and had a great dinner. Had to come back a second time as well! Plenty of outdoor seating.

We got one with lobster and one with shrimp and were 34CFH and 27CFH, respectively, which wasn't bad as I would expect seafood pastas to be much more in Switzerland where food is quite pricey. The pasta was very tasty and quality perfect. Loved the fresh bread and olive oils on table. The owner knew I liked spicy food and even brought out a special oil from the back for us to try. It was awesome. Good wine list and very friendly owners and staff. Mangia all the way!
