Restaurant Z'Mutt
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • Our first little hike led us via the Matterhorn Panorama trail to Z'Mutt at 1936 m. Z'Mutt is a small hamlet of Zermatt and has at least two small restaurants for the thirsty hikers. We chose "Restaurant Z'Mutt" which offers various possibilities for outdoor seating. The Restaurant itself is located in a lovely old wooden building. It is only open from May until October from 9:30 until 17:00 h. They offer warm snacks and several homemade cakes, depending on availability. I had a shandy to drink and shared an apple strudel with my friend. The big piece of apple strudel was really delicious. Prices were reasonable. *apple strudel photo courtesy of yumyum*

  • Crepe with apple and cinnamon - Zermatt
    Crepe with apple and cinnamon
    by HORSCHECK
    Send Photo to a Friend
    After our arrival in Zermatt just after midday and checking in at the hotel we were a bit hungry. By chance we found the Creperie-Cafe Serac in the vicinity of our hotel. We found it a good option to have a quick snack before heading off for a hike. They have an outdoor seating area and a few small tables inside. The interior is pretty basic. The menu offers all sorts of Crepes from sweet to hearty. I chose the Crepe with apple and cinnamon which was yummy and was only 6,90 CHF (about 4,40 Euro, 2007). The down side: The music was a bit too loud; the cook seemed to be a big Rolling Stones fan as a live CD was playing and he also joined in the singing. It took quite a while until we finally got our Crepes. Service was friendly though.

    Bergrestaurant Alphitta
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • After a 3 hours hike from Sunegga Paradise we arrived at the Riffelalp (2200 m). It is home to the Bergrestaurant Alphitta which is a sort of mountain inn. Opening times are from 09:00 until 17:00 h. The restaurant has a large outdoor terrace for more than 70 people. On sunny days it is well frequented by hikers and locals. The toilets are accessible from the inside and outside. They offer genuine local cuisine and a wide range of pasta dishes. A cake buffet is available as well. I opted for a small mixed salad and an apple spritzer, which was tasty and reasonably priced. The bill was 16 CHF (about 10 Euro, 2007).

    Restaurant Whymper Stube: Raclette and Fondue
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • It's an institution in Zermatt. Edward Whymper and his team were the first to reach the peak of the Matterhorn in 1865, I believe. (not that's any sort of endorsement of its food, but an interesting tidbit).

    Only had the fondue, it was quite good. Why is it good? Because when it's about 55-60 degrees out, and they bring you a big steaming pot of cheese with its own little sterno burner, and a glass of white wine, and you are sitting in the MOUNTAINS in ZERMATT, how much better could it be?

    Trockener Steg restaurant: Self service or Pizzeria in altitude...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • This restaurant is situated at an altitude of 2'939m /9'640 feet close to the Matterhorn. The building stands at the foot of the Theodul Glacier, which lies between the Matterhorn and the Klein Matterhorn. The self-service restaurant has seating for 400 guests inside and a further 400 on the sun-terrace. My favorite experience is on 2nd floor where you could find the pizzeria Cervino. Head to the terrace to enjoy delicious pizza made thanks a wood fire oven. By the my fav. piz' is the Biagio with Tomato sauce, mozzarella, oregano, fresh tomatos, rocket, parmesan, parma ham or try a copious pasta meal... Enjoy your meal and the view!

    Hotel Restaurant Kulm Gornergrat: Welcome to the highest hotel in the Alps...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • The terrace, situated at 3'000m/10'000 feet above sea level, offers a unique view of the Monte Rosa, Liskamm, Castor&Pllux, Breithorn and of course Matterhorn. The self-service restaurant offers good, reasonably-priced meals. On the photo you could see two domes. They provided a vantage point from which scientists could look out into space using infrared and radio telescopes. The clean air and optimum light conditions at this location allow an exceptional view of the galaxies. The hotel is open all year round except November; the restaurant is open all year round.

    Restaurant Rôtisserie Spycher: One of the finest grill room in the village
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • In a cosy athmosphere you could delight your eyes within this rustic setting and your palate with the tasteful meal and wine. You can "supervise" the meticulious preparation of you meat and watch the flambée show before enjoying your meal. Restaurant Spycher is member of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs : so no surprise permitted about the excellent quality of service and meal. The owner is also an excellent alpenhorn player .

    Choose your favourite meat with an exceptionnal local wine (as usual ;-).

    Grampi's: Great food at great prices
  • Tip Rating:
  • Satisfaction:
  • We walked up and down the main road of Zermatt looking for a good grill. It didn't appear to be very popular, or else was only served at the swankiest hotels. But we finally found it when we came to Grampi's, which is a pub/bar downstairs and a restaurant upstairs. We had very good grilled ribs and Buffalo chicken wings.
