The porkbelly dish was absolutely incredible - so crispy, so juicy, and so good. There is outdoor seating, and if you're lucky like us, there is live music accompanied with a beautiful view of the Matterhorn and surrounding mountain. The service is very good and there are cute (and famous) dogs that wander around the property as well. Would totally recommend!

We were here in the summer. Huge outdoor seating area, pleasant breezes, enough shade for the sunny days...and, of course, views the world flocks to this region for. One problem: deciding what to order. Everything on the menu (food and drinks) makes you second guess yourself. My advice, order a lot. You just hiked! You need to consume some extra calories. You know, for your health!

Located right in the middle of the Zermatt village, Brown Cow is a restaurant and bar that seemed…read moreto be very popular amongst tourists. We came here after a busy day of traveling, and the Hamburger was the perfect meal. Service was a bit slow as they were short-staffed and the restaurant was so crowded that there were people standing around everywhere waiting for a table. This seemed to be the most frequented restaurant for U.S. tourists.

Bigger restaurant in the very center of Zermatt. Service is…read moreefficient and pretty adopted to a touristic clientele - does not speak Swissgerman but English on a high level. 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.

Decent food for prices around 25 francs if my memory serves me right. they offer foods like curries, sausages, vegetarian fare, ect. Very eclectic. The main attraction here was the big golden retreiver who hangs out by the bar/kitchen. He or She is very well behaved and will even do a few tricks in exchange for a piece of bread (see photos) There seemed to be quite a few people from the states here so if you're a little home sick and want to meet some other americans on vaca, head to sparky's!

We got our fist rosti of the trip and I was in heaven. Lots of different beers, we opted for the tourist special, the aforementioned Zermatt Bier. Was terrific. There is a blue label one but that one is not for me. Anywho, it started to pour out and they came out and rolled the umbrellas out, and all made for a magical experience. Food is excellent and everyone there just seems to be having a good time, both staff and customers, taking in the views and just being happy with life.

The Italian dark hot chocolate with ginger was the best I've ever had. The tuna focaccia was amazing and enough to share if you want a lighter bite.
