Le Gourmand is a place that will not serve a sandwich if the bread is not the freshest. It is an environment where guests can forget the global food chain of freezing bread, preserving it through chemical additions and transporting across continents. There is a different reality and this is exactly where to experience it. Coming in early is probably not a bad idea to ensure that the bread is actually available to make a sandwich, because the chef will refuse to serve otherwise. The vegetable and avocado sandwich is succulent, crispy and bursting with freshest flavors. As the snow falls outside or the sun reflects on summer stones lining the streets of Zermatt, sitting next to the window and enjoying this carefully crafted food is an experience that is cozy, relaxing and without a doubt, memorable.

The cocktail/wine/beer menu was extensive and the drinks were excellent. The dinner menu was limited to some items for sharing and sandwiches. We shared the prosciutto e melon, which was excellent, and the portion was very generous for two people. The special for the evening, a homemade gnocchi pasta with tomato, zucchini (vegetables grown in the waitress' garden), and a light sauce was excellent. The apple cake with homemade vanilla gelato is their signature desert and is simply wonderful. The service was friendly and helpful. I would recommend La Vecchina for dinner or pre/post dinner drinks.

Also had a nice cappucino and some mate as well. The owner's English is quite good and he's very friendly. Just keep in mind this is not a "hangout" spot during mealtimes. There's not enough seats for that. Buy some food - you'll love it.

We got the Bicerin a couple of times in the city and this one you could taste the coffee the best. It was not overly sweet but special. While we were sitting down at a table we saw 3 different groups of people come in and have their shot of espresso. It definitely is a different kind of atmosphere in a Italy coffee shop. If you want to do as the Italian do, GO HERE!
