COOP and MIGROS-restaurants are mostly a great way to save money in Switzerland when you are on a budget ! There is a MIGROS, that does not have a restaurant in Gstaad, but COOP has one and I got there at 04.30pm. ALL of the warm dished had been taken away already at that time "because we are closing at 5.00pm" , that was the only explanation that I was given in french as an answer to my question in german.
Thats why I left again, but when you come in time its certainly a cheap place for lunch !
Favorite Dish: They had veal with potatoes for about 15 sfr, as far as I remember,thats quite a good price compared to other restaurants in Gstaad !

The Arc-en-ciel is a large hotel/residence/restaurant complex a little bit outside the main downtown area of Gstaad. The outdoor cafe area is large and pretty - the hotel has an amazing display of flowers adorning it in the summer.
There are several places you can sit (there is a rare non-smokers area indoors!) but in summer definitely pick outside on a nice day. Good views of the mountains and often hiking groups stop by here for pizza on their way back from a hike.
Favorite Dish: Pizza!!

The restaurant is on the main street in downtown Gstaad (so no problem to people watch from the outdoor seating). It has very typical dishes from the Gstaad area (Saanenland) such as kaseschnitte, and also some very basic meat and potato types of dishes, lasagne, spaghetti etc.. All quite basic, but done well and at a good price. It is a good place to get a quick meal or snack or even to just sit and drink tea and watch the people parading up and down the main pedestrianized street in town. It is by no means gourmet food, but is good food for those on a budget and still has the appeal of being downtown in the main part of Gstaad.
German, English and French is spoken here.
Favorite Dish: kaseschnitte mit ei or the daily menu (a good bargain). Also the ice cream deserts are nice.

Gstaad is famous mainly as a skiing resort, and in particular as the favourite skiing resort for the very rich.
