Reservations are a must. We had the early seating at 6 pm and every table was sold out. Impeccable service. We had fondue with Raclette and it was stupendous. It's all about the bread and theirs are these perfect in house made bread rolls. And the red pickled onions are delicious. This is a classy place. Easily the best fondue I've had in Switzerland. read more

Say Cheese - Restaurants Near Me - Zermatt, VS

Couple shady practices, but otherwise delicious fondue and appetizer offerings. They even had a free bite that was something for the day which the chef had whipped up. It's in a very nice 5-star hotel so it's not surprising it's expensive. Gorgeous interior. However - their white wine by the glass on their menu ranges 11 - 14 francs. I asked for whichever of those the restaurant manager, who was waiting on us, recommended and she brought and charged us for a FIFTY franc glass instead without saying anything. And then asked us to tip when she checked us out, which we did because I'm nonconfrontational, but weird in a city and country with service charges where tipping isn't expected. Would definitely choose another place the next time we need fondue. read more

Oh boy, it's going to take me a week to digest all the cheese I ate but it was totally worth it! This place was recommended to us by the hotel we were staying at as the best fondue place in Zermatt. Reservations highly encouraged. We ordered the Valais mountain fondue with porcini mushrooms. This is the stronger of the two fondues they offer. Our waitress suggested the mushrooms as an add on and it was delicious. It's served with this bread that reminded me of communion bread. It was scored in small pieces you could just break off. They also brought a bag of potatoes to dip also. It was good. Really good. Both my spouse and I thought it might be the best fondue either of us have had. Warning: it's a lot of cheese for two people but we pushed through to the end and they even scraped the bottom and gave us the "burnt" cheese which I thought was the best part. Even as full as we were, I wanted to try the chocolate fondue. It's a lot smaller than the cheese so don't be afraid to order it. It's made from Toblerone chocolate and you get a plate of assorted fruits and gummy bears to dip. We ate what we could. We gave a valiant effort. Highly recommend giving them a try. Of course they have other stuff on the menu but if you're going to a place called saycheese, then you need to order the fondue. read more

If you like fondue or raclette, you must eat here if you are in Zermatt. It's downstairs under a really nice hotel. Lovely settling and excellent wait staff. Food/cheese was just incredible. read more

Do you like Cheese! If so, this place will make you smile!!! Three of us decided to share everything so we could taste as much as we could. So, a must! If you have not tried Raclette cheese yet you need to!!! You can try 3 different Raclette cheeses here, it's called the Raclette Journey. They are all very good, but the Raclette Bagnes (I believe it is from Verbier) was our favorite. It's got a little bit stronger taste that is full of flavor. Next, we had Cheese fondue, which included Truffles! You also get a bag of small potatoes to dip. We ordered the fondue for 2 and it was plenty for three when you order the Raclette to start with. Also got dry beef and sausage to dip in the fondue. Just think that you are done with the fondue, they scrape the burnt cheese on the bottom and serve it to you! YUMMY!! Ok, This is very Important, save room for dessert! You have to try the Toblerone Fondue for 2! You will not be disappointed! Sorry, I should have taken more pictures but it was sooo good!!! Best place for Raclette! read more

Tourist trap. They melt ok cheeses and give you some bread and potatoes and charge obscene amounts. (Meat fondue is a joke if you come from a city with decent Chinese or Japanese hot pot places - why bother?). If you want some tap water, each little carafe is 8F. so if you get it three times because there's 2 of you, you pay 24F for tap water. Toblerone fondue too is obscenely expensive. One server (tallest guy) was gruff and unfriendly. And they also subtly pressure you into tipping. Decor is modern and clean but lacks charm. There are many amazing places to eat in Zermatt. I would do fondue in a less expensive place once and visit many fabulous places in Zermatt for all other meals and skip this one. read more

The go-to fondue in Zermatt. Good service, good ambience, but best of all, amazing fondue. If you make it through the whole pot, be sure to ask that the caramelized cheese be scraped from the cast iron for the final coupe de grace. The chocolate fondue is a great night cap if you have room. read more

Lovely, friendly staff and beautiful restaurant. Food was delicious! Will come again.

BEWARE- this restaurant will pick and choose the reservations they take and never bother to CALL when cancelling a reservation for 12 people an entire week after you reserve on their webpage. We are visiting with a rather large group that had to make smaller reservations at the same time, so we could be on the same schedule. This restaurant appears to update their reservations calendar and allows you to make reservations for parties up to 12. So that is what we did. We booked at a date and time that was available for a party of 12. Hours later we had the other half of the party check the site for a reservation for 10 through the SAME process. They were also able to book. We were so elated to dine together. Unbeknownst to only one of the large parties, the restaurant cancelled the reservation for 12 ( THROUGH A THIRD PARTY EMAIL- that is sorted to promotions) AN ENTIRE WEEK AFTER making the resy. Our table of 10 that booked AFTER US had no issues. We showed up tonight for our reservation and they did not have any reservation for 12 but seated the party of 10 that was made from our same group. When asked why they didn't Call (you see an out of country reservation for 12) the concierge told me to 'check my email', and that they "can only take so many people". In fact, he went as far as to tell me that he personally cancelled my reservation but had no reasoning behind why they accepted the reservation for 10 made later that same day. I was in shock at how DISRESPECTFUL the concierge at one of the nicest hotels behaved. Go down the street to Theodors. The two groups compared notes and our dinner at theodors was outstanding in comparison. Also, do yourself a favor; stay at cervo. read more

After striking out at 3+ other restaurants because we didn't have reservations we finally came in to Say Cheese. Luckily they were not very busy and we were able to seated right away. Fondue with mushrooms and two glasses of wine came out to a pretty crazy price..but it was our one nice dinner so it was worth it. I was worried it wouldn't fill me up but I was definitely full after the meal...and damn that fondue was good!! Especially with the mushrooms in it..and the nice burnt crust bits at the very end. read more

Say Cheese - Fondue with mushrooms. Tasty!! - Restaurants Near Me - Zermatt, VS

ok, I get the name isnt the most local one but man, the fondue is good! We had the truffel fondue earlier this season and couldve licked the pot clean. And at the end, they crisped up the remnants and we had this amazing crispy cheese part at the end. We also enjoyed the kasesuppe and gerstensuppe and the different kinds of bread offered with the fondue. I had fondue about 5 times in two weeks in the alps and this was absolutely the best! read more

You might think me a bit, well... stupid... to go to a restaurant in which almost the entire menu is comprised of cheese- considering I don't like cheese. Yet Saycheese! ended up being by far one of the best restaurants I ate at during my entire week in Switzerland for several reasons. Firstly, the service. Our waiter, Max, was prompt and delightful, providing us with everything we needed and additional refills even before we asked for them. The dark yet cozy ambience of the restaurant added to the tremendous overall takeaway from the night. But most importantly, the food! We enjoyed a truffle cheese fondue with white wine and fondue chinois, followed by a dessert of Toblerone fondue with fruit and, uniquely, gummy bears! From someone who does not love cheese (actually dislikes it on its own!), it means a lot when I say that the fondue was spectacular- bursting with flavor- not too sticky while not too watery. The fondue chinois was the saving grace for a non cheese-lover like me, with a hearty meat sauce paired with chicken, beef, and veal to cook in the fondue. Finally, the Toblerone fondue was a fantastic way to end the night, with a platter of fruits and candy dipped into a small bowl of hot, steaming chocolate melting in our mouths, followed by a complimentary plate of biscuits and cookies (which we decided to dip as well!). Overall, the meal was a fantastic and unforgettable experience, one that caused even me- the enemy of all cheese- to step back for a moment and say "Oh wait!" My tastebuds were truly enlightened tonight, and I'll be sure to SayCheese again. read more

Go for the cheese fondue!! So yummy! We just got the basic and it was out of this world good! The raclette was also amazing! The little potatoes got dipping in the cheese and the bread....YUM! read more

Struggled with whether we wanted to splurge on fondue--knew it would be pricey for family with 3 teens. So glad we came. Our waiter was SO friendly, So knowledgeable and SO helpful in our ordering so that we sampled much and didn't over-order (thus over-pay!). We had a lovely selection of wines (which we tasted before we selected), and moved on to a raclette starter--totally new for us. Delicious...one portion, just enough for everyone to try but not fill up on. We then had 3 orders of meat fondue and 2 orders of cheese fondue...just right and left a VERY little room for a nice oreo cheesecake dessert. Can't imagine a much more authentic Swiss dinner. Great. read more

In Switzerland, the price of food is pretty much the same everywhere you go, so why not venture into the nicer options such as Say Cheese? It's a located in the basement, even if you're a guest at the hotel it's easy to miss. But it seems quite popular with those who regularly visit Zermatt. I was fortunate to come in on a slow day and got the whole place to myself. Service was great, food was good. The ambiance is really nice. The decorative fire which is actually a humidifier is really nice center piece. read more

My wife was poking fun at first about how cheesy the name SayCheese was, but we didn't know exactly what to expect albeit some tripadvisor ratings for this nice little hideaway. When you walk in you're met with top tier atmosphere and we were concerned because the party in front of us had reservations prior to arrival. However, the host was more than willing to accommodate. The waiter provided some stellar recommendations as we started off with a nice full bodied glass of wine. The menu was a bit intimidating, kind of funny considering fondue is just cheese and few ingredients, but our host was yet again able to provide some stellar recommendations. Be aware though, when they say you only get bread and potatoes with the cheese, you get 4 loaves of bread and a sack...a SACK of fingerling potatoes. If you are less frugal however, the crudites and small portion of dried meats was still a nice addition even though we ate like it was our last meal on Earth, didn't even get to finish all the bread and potatoes. The toblerone fondue was an enticing option for dessert, but my wife and I are about variety and unfortunately they only do 2 people minimum on the chocolate fondue. Still, we were thoroughly pleased with our choices. The iced coffee with milk is actually more a coffee milkshake made from cows sent down from the heavens. The butterscotch pudding with ice cream was served in a delicate bowl supremely layered with nice meringue crumbles. Both top options if you aren't in the mood for the toblerone fondue. All in all, this was a nice hideaway that fully deserves all its marks. Highly recommend you stop by as you may regret missing out. read more

We came here last minute and they were more than willing to find us space on a busy Friday. My wife and I started with the cheese soup in a bread bowl. It was so good. We then had the fondue for two people. It came with bread and potatoes. The cheese was so good and at the end they scrape the cheese crust from the bowl which was amazing. This was a fantastic restaurant focused on cheese. Dress was casual but wearing a good pair of jeans and a nice shirt will help you fit in a little better. read more
