When we entered the restaurant, there was a smell of old cheese not cleaned properly from the caquelons, burners or other dishes what should indeed - have been a clear warning for us. We did NOT have Fondue what many tourists eat here but the "Special" of the day - soup or salad as a starter, turkey with risotto on a tomato sauce. The soup and salad where good, the main course too although the presentation of the course was a little unusual - everything was kind of "swimming" in the risotto and the turkey was so cooked you did not need a knife but rather a soup spoon which was also offered unsolicited. It tased good and we were full very easily. Long story short - the food was tasty but we both had belly cramps half an hour later when we were back at the hotel.

Fabulous. Best meal of my entire trip in Switzerland…read more Price is on the higher end but the food quantity is ginormous. Plus the food quality is high, the service very friendly, and the ambiance warm and welcoming. So all in all, I would say this establishment offers good value despite the higher price point. For main course, I ordered shrimps, my wife the lamb. Both dishes were very tasty. We were told there would be a second serving, and sure enough, after we finished our main dishes, they magically replenished. I don't think the owner will allow you to leave less than stuffed! The most memorable part of the meal for me was the butter bean served as side dish. I am told it comes from their own garden. Attaching a scenic view of the restaurant exterior.

The quickest way to get here is to take a combination of the funicular to Sonnega, combined with the gondola up to Blauherd, and then walk the ~45 minutes from there to the hut. That saves you most of the trouble of getting there; we hiked all the way up from Zermatt, so we most definitely welcomed the respite of the terrace when we reached it. The folks at the hut speak quite good English and are very pleasant, and if it's a nice day, you have to sit outdoors...there is nothing like taking in a frontal view of Matterhorn on a gorgeous, sunny day. The drink menu is pretty solid; my wife's hot chcolate was topped generously with whipped cream and was delicious, while the regional sauvignon blanc was very drinkable and pretty refreshing after a grueling journey. I can't say enough about the food, though. There's a very broad selection that cuts across pretty much all of the sensibilities that Switzerland encompasses, so you will undoubtedly find something you want. For our starters, I went with the house potato soup, which was larded (pun intended) generously with bacon bits and topped with just the right amount of cream - enough to give it a little more depth but not too much to make it dense. That was excellent, but my wife's beef carpaccio, topped with thinly-sliced parmesan cheese and black truffles was even better. After dripping a little lemon juice on it, the beef combined with the cheese and mushrooms was light yet so full of deliciousness. Our mains were just as good; we stuck with Italian here and went the pasta route. I went with the spaghetti bolognese, which was simple but so well-executed - a rich meat sauce and noodles cooked perfectly. My wife's dish was tagliatelle served with a light cream sauce, dressed lightly with herbs and dressed with a hefty portion of chanterelle mushrooms. I would have preferred just a little more sauce, but it was a fantastic dish nonetheless. We finished off with the house chocolate cake, which is a must-have - the texture is almost akin to coconut flakes, but the cake is moist and airy, and the whipped cream it is served with fills those pockets and complements the oversized brownie-like slice very well. It is a bit of a trek to make it here, but if you're here to see the great outdoors, you should make sure one of your hikes includes a stop here to eat a meal. I would endure the strenuous hike up (or take transportation most of the way) to enjoy a phenomenal meal here in a picture-perfect alpine setting.
